I love mixing and matching elements from different Lawn Fawn sets! I love the new musical critter set, and it was fun to place them on the big stump from the “Forest Feast” set in my stash. I colored each of the stamped and die-cut images with Copic markers. I made this card for my husband, and we are enjoying the company of our one son who just returned home for the summer from his first year of college. Thanks for visiting today!

- Patterned paper – KaiserCraft “Mister Fox Collection”
- Watercolor paper – Strathmore cold press
- Cardstock – Bazzill
- Ink pads – Versafine “Onyx Black” and “Satin Red”
- Zig Clean Color markers
I stamped the bear and his accessories in Versafine ink. He’s quite dapper! I always like dressing up cute animals! That’s why it so appropriately fits the bill for Week 253 Challenge at Casology: Clothes. I added color to the bear and the stamped sentiment with Zig Clean Color markers and added water with a waterbrush to blend and soften the colors. I fussy-cut the bear (I have the dies, but wanted to layer the accessories directly to the same layer). I adhered it to the patterned circle die-cut, layered with the Beaded Circle Frame die-cut, with some dimensional adhesive. I trimmed the sentiment into a flag and layered on black cardstock strip. I placed all elements onto the card base to complete the card. Thanks for visiting.

Today’s Father’s Day card was created in response to the Friday Mashup Challenge. I was to create a project for Father’s Day stamping on anything but cardstock. So I selected wood tape for my stamping surface. It seemed appropriate for a masculine card. This is the card my son and I gave my husband this morning. Thanks for stopping by.

Today is Father’s Day and this is my husband’s card. It features some perfect paper for masculine cards! Lots of hats and stripes, for example. The sentiment stamp is one of my oldest. The date on it is 1992, which makes it over 20 years old! It’s a classic! I also used a color scheme that is part of a challenge for the upcoming Online Card Classes Summer Card Camp 2. We were challenged to use 4 out of 5 of the following colors:
With this paper collection, I was able to nail it! I also double stamped the sentiment with Smokey Grey and Onyx Black Versafine ink. Thanks for visiting today.

- Die cuts – made from Spellbinders Nestabilities “Oval Medallion Labels”
- Patterned papers – Fancy Pants “Country Boutique” 6 X 6″ paper pad
- Cardstock – Bazzill
This was the last of my cards for Dads that I created for Operation Write Home (OWH) for the Father’s Day deadline. This past week, the OWH Midweek Throwdown was an All About Time challenge. Pocket watches and Dads kind of go together, so I thought this would be a natural combination. I’ve had all of these stamps in my stash for quite some time, so it was fun to put them altogether. Thanks for visiting.

- Brads
This is another Father’s Day card that I will be sending off to Operation Write Home so that our heroes have cards to send to their dads. I liked this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches (Sketch #82). This sketch was a little bit of a stretch for me for some reason. Everything I used for this card had been in my stash for a long time, which is kind of fun! The only new thing was the patterned paper! Glad you stopped by.

I love this card design! I made it by following a tutorial by Sandy Allnock, Executive Director at Operation Write Home (OWH). It is right up there with the Origami neckties that my son and I make every year for OWH! The details are really nice, especially the scored lines that emulate tucks in the shirt and the gold buttons. It was lots of fun to make and I hope to make more to ship off prior to the Father’s Day deadline of April 30th for OWH. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!

Several of the stamps I used for this card are some of my very first purchased, circa 14 years ago! The stamps I used with Distress inks on the tag are brand new from Hot Off the Press. This is my first Father’s Day card for Operation Write Home this year. Our deadline is the end of April, so I need to get busy. I used Sketch #72 at Cardabilities for design inspiration. It took me forever to make this card–I just kept messing around with it! Thanks for checking things out today!

Here is a group of Origami Necktie cards that Trenton and I made again this year. I used scraps of cardstock for all of the shirts, and brads, buttons and Origami paper from my stash to create the cards. I will be shipping them off to Operation Write Home for Father’s Day cards. Trenton always folds the neckties for me and I create the shirts. We’re a good team! These are really fun cards. If you’d like to make some yourself, there here is a tutorial link for you to follow. It is a great way to use up your extra scraps of paper! Thanks for visiting.

- Patterned papers – Canvas Corp “Black on Kraft Damask” and “White on Kraft Damask”
- Alphabet – American Crafts Thickers, “Delight” foam stickers
- Die cut made with Spellbinder’s Nestabilities “Lacey Circles”
- Embossing folder – Cuttlebug “Polka Dots”
This was a really fun sketch to use. It is Sketch #117 at Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps, and the current sketch challenge. You can use a variety of papers together (which can be dangerous!) and it is symmetrical, which keeps a little formality to the design. I added some texture with the polka dot embossing folder and popped up the circle containing the sentiment to add to the dimension. I will add this to my Father’s Day/Dad cards for Operation Write Home. Thanks for your visit today.
