Father's Day

Nowadays I need to make two Father's Day cards...here's the first one I'm sharing.

As usual I was stumped trying to think of a masculine card to make, so I trawled Pinterest and found this lovely card, which I have CASEd.

Because I have used the CBS "Background Builder" stamp I will be entering this card into the Clearly Besotted Challenge.

I scored the sides of the cardstock onto which I 3D mounted the letters using my Martha Stewart Score Board which I recently bought.  I have held off buying this for a long time but now I have it I love it and can see I will use it a lot!  The letters I printed using my computer (sorry can't recall the font), I then stamped the wording on top.

The twine is actually gardening twine I had, and the button from a (very) big tin of buttons my Grandma had collected and my Grandad just passed to me...hope she'd approve of it's use.  Due to the twine being so bulky I stuck the button on using 3D foam.

Masculine In The Frame

I'm back with another card I've made with a stamp set I received for my birthday.  I have again used colours inspired by the CBS challenge.  I kept it simple as I think the strong frame works well without needing anything else too fussy.

To balance the card I wanted to add some enamel dots...but a lack of suitable colours made me search for some suitable stamps.  I found the little stars within the CBS "Signature Christmas" set, and I'm pleased with how they look.

Today I'm sharing a card I made using a stamp set I've wanted for a while and happily got bought for my birthday.  I couldn't wait to use them, and I already had an idea of what I wanted to do.  Thanks to the CBS colour challenge I had some direction of what colour to use.

Thanks for visiting.
