Die Cuttin' Divas Father's Day Challenge

Well, June just seems to be flying by! We are already in the middle of the month, I feel like I need to catch my breath.

This weekend we are honoring our Fathers and thanking them for everything they do for their families. It's time to give Dad a big pat on the back and a day that revolves around him.

We have a new challenge for you to try over at  Die Cuttin' Divas .

This week it is Father's Day/Masculine.

.

I decided to go a little retro with my card. I took a file called RETRO CASSETTE TAPE

by Sarah Hurley

Design ID #28563 and I used the weld feature in the design program to make this file into a card by welding a rectangle for the back flap.

the sentiment was created using two stamps sets by Paper Smooches - Daddy Yo and Sentiment Sampler.

Supplies used: card stock -black, white, 2 shades of grey, orange; stamps - Daddy Yo and Sentiment Sampler by Paper Smooches; ink - Jet Black Archival; Silhouette Studio cut file

Now pop on over to Die Cuttin' Divas and see all the fabulous inspiration the rest of the design team has come up with.

Hope to see you playing along with us!!!!

Father's Day Cards

We have another week until we celebrate Dad!

Time to honor all the hard working father's out there. Give them all a big pat on the back for everything they do for their families.

Today I'd like to share a couple Father's Day cards I created.




For the first card I used a stamp set by Paper Smooches called Daddy Yo which you can purchase here.  I stamped the sentiment on a circle cut with a die by Lawn Fawn. Fussy cut the bottle and the bow tie.

I chose patterned papers in Durable by Authentique.

My second card was created using patterned paper by Basic Grey in the Bow Ties collection.

The sentiment is a mini stamp set by Papertrey Ink called Boutique Borders: Father Mini Stamp Set, which has a matching die set.

Supplies used: card stock - brown, kraft; patterned paper - Bow Ties by Basic Grey; stamps and die - Papertrey Ink; ink - Stampin' Up and Memento; border punch - Martha Stewart; brads - We R Memory Keepers; Pop Dots
