Happy Father's day to all the great Dads out there! ~Come Sail Away Suite

Hello Stampers!
Here is my summer weekly project share!  I have a special Father's day share for today. 

Come Sail Away with Suite is one of my favorite masculine sets that is new from the Annual Catalog!  

I wasn't sure which side of the paper liked better so I made one with each side and thought I'd ask you!  Which do you prefer?

Smooth Sailing Dies were used to cut out the shapes.

Don't forget to stamp your envelope to create a whole set!  

Happy Father's day to all the wonderful dads out there alive and in heaven!  

Thank you for joining me today!

Sit Back and Relax~

Hello Stampers!
Here is my summer weekly project share!

Card Stock: Whisper White, Night of Navy, Early Espresso and Old Olive.

Ink: Night of Navy

I propped up the wheel on some Dimensionals.  I really liked how this card turned out!  

The DSP in the background is from the Sailing Home Bundle, Come Sale Away DSP.

Still enjoying some great camping with my children!  I can't believe I have a senior this year. So thankful for this time with my (big) babies!  I also have my two beautiful German Shepherds along with us too!

Paper Pumpkin Alternative~ Teamed up with Best Catch!

Hello Stampers!

I have a Paper Pumpkin alternative to share with you today.  I was going through my kits and found I had not used up all of my "Manly Moments" Paper Pumpkin kit.  I teamed it up with Best Catch and created some fun birthday and Father's day cards!

Bringing out my trusty Big Shot, I used the matching framelits, Catch of the Day.
Card Stock:  Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede.

Used Water Color Pencils and Blender pens to add color to the fish. 

To the cat tails I added color to the stocks with a Stampin' Write Marker in Old Olive then used a non-Stampin' Up product I had purchased years ago at Hobby Lobby.  It's called Fun Flock.
Stamped the fishing basket in Early Espresso on Soft Suede.

Placing an order today?

RETIRED SET SATURDAY-For Father

Hello Stampers!
Retired Set Saturday is here.
There has been so many wonderful stamp sets created by Stampin' Up! When they retire it is sad because it seems like we don't use them anymore, I am going to change that!
Today I am showcasing a set called, For Father.

I used the wood theme for the background.  I choose to add color by using the Watercolor pencils to add color but never 'painted' them. I liked how the soft color looked, I did use the Stampin' Write marker in Real Red to color the apples.

Fussy cut around the stamped image then popped it up on dimensionals.  I really like how it turned out.  I also heat embossed the Happy Birthday sentiment.

Thank you for joining me today!

Also grabbed the layering ovals to add to the circles layers. Soft Suede, Very Vanilla card stock and Early Espresso ink were used to stamp the images.

Hidden in the trees~Father's Day card.

Hello Stampers!
I don't know about you, but it seems like my summer is speeding by like a NASCAR driver had control of it!  This weekend is Father's Day so I thought I had better get busy creating some Father's Day cards.  I always choose cars and animals for masculine cards, almost like it's an unwritten law for me to use anything else.  ha-ha

I used the stamped image with the Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, stamping directly on the folder before running it through the Big Shot.

Works fairly well.  Then I just color everything in with colored pencils, adding a little bit of a wet brush to the bottom of the grass.  For the trees I sponge some Crumb Cake with a sponge dauber.

Thank you for joining me today!

To the dad who can fix anything!

Hello my stamping friends!
I wanted to share a neat stamp set I found at Michael's.

It's by Hero Arts and is photopolymer.  Love it!

Card stock is Basic Gray and Basic Black from Stampin' Up along with a layer of DSP in Neutrals.

Stamped in Smoky Slate.  I popped the layer up on dimensionals.

I just love going to Michael's craft store.  I can always find new projects for my kids and I to enjoy.

Paper Pumpkin for May~

Hello Stampers!
I wanted to share the Paper Pumpkin kit from May.  There are so many fun ideas on the internet!

 It was a really nice kit!

These are some samples I made with their layouts.

I liked the stamp set so just added some DSP to the pre-cut die cut card stock.  I also added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter around the DSP boarder.  I love how it dresses up the cards.

Finally I wanted to get a head start on some 4th of July cards!

Thank you for joining me today!
Happy Weekend!
