World's Greatest Dad

 

3 challenges inspired today's card...

The Paper Players // #PP642 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch was perfect for creating another Father's Day card that was ordered by a friend.  Thanks for a great starting point!!

Paper Craft Crew // #PCC520 ...A theme challenge!!  MASCULINE!!  Great timing for this theme with Father's Day right around the corner.

Retro Rubber Challenges // #rrcb207 ...An "anything goes" challenge!!  But...you have to use a stamp that is over a year old.  I used Stampin Up's Guy Greetings set that came out in 2015...an oldie but goodie!!

2 Father's Day Cards

Card #1 inspired by 2 challenges...

Retro Rubber // #rrcb184 ...A color challenge!! Those 70's colors!!  And as always use a stamp that is over a year old.  My retro...the trees were punched out using retired punches and I'm using Stampin Up's Guy Greetings set from 2015 as my sentiment.

Hand Stamped Sentiments // #HSS391 ...An inspiration challenge!!  My inspiration from the photo collage...sunset, woodland, outdoor theme. 

Card #2 inspired by 2 challenges...

The Paper Players // #PP595 ...A color challenge!!  White, Real Read, and Pacific Point...nautical combination in my mind!!  I kept it clean and simple this time.

CASology // #404 ...A cue card challenge!!  RIDE!!  Usually we think of wheels when we hear the word ride, right?!?  But my dad's favorite place to ride...our boat!!  And since Father's Day is this weekend I am going with his favorite ride!!

Try Stampin on Tuesday Challenge #509

 

#tsot509

Today's card was inspired by a sketch challenge ( #tsot509 ) from the Try Stampin on Tuesday team and a special request from a friend to make a "Superman" Father's Day card. I don't know about you but I don't have any Superman stamps!!  So...I found a black and white image that I copied on red and yellow paper, then I cut and pieced it together to create my focal image!  My friend loved it and I hope the recipient will too!

Verse of the Day:

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.

JOHN 14:1 (NIV)

One Card for Three Challenges

Today's card was created for the color challenge from The Paper Players (Real Red//sentiment, twine & torn card stock accent...Basic Gray//oars & torn card stock accent...Tranquil Tide//stamped frog, splatters & grassy area), the sketch challenge from the Paper Craft Crew, and the FATHER cue card from CASology.  I am using Stampin Up's By the Dock bundle along with the sentiment from the Guy Greeting set.

  

UPDATE:  Woohoo!!! This sweet Father's Day card was chosen as the HEADLINER for the Paper Players Challenge!!  And was a top pick for the Paper Craft Crew Challenge.  What an honor....thanks, Paper Players & Paper Craft Crew!!
  

Tic Tac Toe Challenge #066 & CAS(E) this Sketch #286

Another Father's Day cards to add to my stash.   This one was inspired by the sketch challenge from CAS(E) this Sketch and the game board from the Tic Tac Toe team.  My win on the Tic Tac Toe board is the left going down...Vintage//Nature//Tan&Cream.  I love this new "birds on a wire" embossing folder that I was gifted.  It has a vintage feel to it...especially when sponged!!


#bethegift challenge:   June first...Today begins another month of #bethegift prompts.  These prompts were written several years ago by Ann Voskamp...She has such inspiring ideas.  Join me in "Being the Gift" this month.  Go grocery shopping this month with some pre-written thank you notes...slip one to the cashier and the bagger.

Freshly Made Sketch Challenge #435

It is time to start working on my Father's Day stash!!  So....today I am using the sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches to get started!!   Yesterday's designer papers that I used are just so perfect for masculine cards....that distressed look gives such a masculine feel!!

#bethegift challenge:  Text or call someone older than you today...let them know that they matter!!

Best Catch Ever....

Today I am playing along with the sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches.  I used Stamping Up's Best Catch stamp set with matching dies.  There are so many possibilities with this bundle.  Masculine cards are often difficult to create but this stamp set and matching dies has made it easy!!


3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) 3 gifts in dirt...Gerber Daisies blooming in my flower beds//Azaleas that we pulled out from infant of our house with a truck and chain...replanted them so sure if they would survive, but they did!! Amazing!!//Fishing worms...I don't care for them but my hubby and daughter think they are kinda great!!  

For You, Dad

Today's card is super simple...one of those under five minute cards but it is perfect for a Dad!!  I created it for the sketch challenge from Fab Friday.  The sketch this week was simple and great for a masculine card...no fluff!!

Father's Day is Coming...

Yesterday I posted a Mother's Day card and today I am posting a Father's Day card...getting ready for the Wildflower Festival this weekend where I will be selling cards.  I think by the end of the week I will have all the up coming holidays covered.  Today's card was made for the sketch challenge from CAS(E) this Sketch.
