Nailed It Father's Day

 Hello & Happy Monday, Friends!

Welcome to June!

When I think of June I think of Father's Day in the middle of this month. So, in honor of Father's Day coming in a few weeks I am going to share a few Father's Day cards that I made up. I always make sure I have some made for the kids to give Shawn.

This 1st one was made with a long retired set called Nailed It. Do you remember it?

Card Details:

Stamps: Nailed It (retired 2017)

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends-Smoky Slate, Copic Marker- YR24

Cardstock: Delightful Dijon (retired In Color), Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Urban Underground Specialty DSP (retired 2017)

Accessories: Build It Framelits (retired 2017), Stylish Shapes Dies, Dimensioanls, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

That was such a great masculine bundle from back in the day!

Those are the kind of stamps sets that I will not part with.

Sorry To See You Go...

 Hello & Happy Monday!

Can you believe that it's November 1st!!??

The year is whizzing by pretty fast!

I hope you all had a nice weekend and a safe trick or treating night!

It was cold & windy here and we were lucky we had 25 kids stop for candy.

Today I am sharing a card I made for a guy Shawn works with (or should I say he did work with). His work has mandated that all employees be vaccinated by Nov. 1st and this guy is young with small children and was dead set against it for religious reasons since it was announced. Friday was his last day so Shawn asked me to make a card for him. They had a small going away party for him. It's all really sad!! He was one hell of a worker/mechanic and Shawn's 2nd shift lead person. 

This is the card I made him and Shawn had all the guys at work sign it.

Card Details:

Stamps: Sorry For Everything

Ink: Delightful Dijon (retired), Basic Gray

Cardstock: Basic Gray, Very Vanilla, Silver Foil Paper, Urban District Specialty DSP (retired)

Accessories: Build It Framelits (retired), Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This one was fun to create, just wish it was for a different occasion.

Shawn & his coworkers are really going to miss this guy!

My thoughts today...

We had rain & some winds the last few days.

You can really see the colors changing on the trees and yesterday the leaves were really starting to blow off. Time to start raking!

Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!

Employee Gift Card Holders

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Hope your week is going well so far!

Last Friday my hubby asked me if I could make 2 Gift Card Holders for the guys at his work that are celebrating anniversaries! 

He was looking at his 2020 Calendar that I made him this year and saw the one month that said "Success Looks Good on You" and the idea was born from there...

Here are the cards I made for him.

Here are the measurements.

Basic Black cardstock 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 2 and 6 1/2.

The 2 inch side is where you adhere the sides to create the pocket for the gift card or cash.

The 2 1/2 inch side is where you decorate.

This time I added a panel of Delightful Dijon cardstock measuring 4 1/4 x 3 3/4.

I added some retired Urban District Specialty Paper on this panel then decorated it with my sentiment panel.

Card Details:

Stamps: Suite Sayings (retired), A Grand Kid (inside)

Ink: Basic Black Archival

Cardstock: Delightful Dijon (retired), Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Silver Foil Paper, Urban District Specialty Paper (retired)

Accessories: Build It Framelits (retired), Stitched Shapes Framelits, Circle Layering Framelits, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Shawn added a Visa Gift Card to each card for the guys.

He said both guys were very impressed with the cards and of course, the money! LOL

The one asked if I used a Cricut to make the card! Haha! 

Maybe a crafter lives at his house that he knew what a Cricut was?!!

The cards turned out pretty nice and everyone appreciated them!

That always makes me smile!

Happy June 1st!!!

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Yesterday we had some fabulous weather once the clouds & fog broke!

It hit 80 degrees here and the sunshine was awesome!

My hubby got home from work on time for a change and mowed then we sat out on the front porch with the girls and just enjoyed the nice weather!

Hopefully today will be another picture perfect day!

Since today is June 1st, I am going to try to focus on the upcoming Father's Day occasion.

Today I am sharing a card made with a now retired stamp set called Nailed It.

I have had this bundle in my collection for awhile now and yesterday I finally broke it out and got it inked up! I was pleasantly surprised with how nice it stamps!

Here is my 1st Father's Day card for 2017.

 I used the herringbone technique to create this card. My friend, Carol, makes the nicest herringbone technique cards and i'm always envious of them! I gave this technique another shot today with making my strips of dsp at 1/2" each. I am loving this now retired dsp called Urban District Specialty Paper! I like the colors in it plus the prints are more focused on masculine. My silver foil paper at the bottom of the card is diecut with the measuring strip in the Build It Framelits! It adds so much to the card. I also took the wrench, hammer, screwdriver and other little pieces of hardware and randomly stamped them with Delightful Dijon on the cardbase. So pleased with it!

Happy Father's Day card:

Stamps: Nailed It

Ink: Delightful Dijon

Cardstock: Delightful Dijon, Basic Gray, Very Vanilla, Urban District Specialty Paper, Silver Foil

Accessories: Build It Framelits, Silver Brads, Dimensionals, Mono Adhesive

A really fun card don't ya think??
