Camping Dad

I have been so excited for my new My Favourite things to arrive but life has been a little hectic, trying to get the garden sorted out so I literally just have not had two minutes to play. But of course Fathers Day is nearly here here in the UK, so I had the perfect excise to create a card

Super Dad

Decided to give todays card a comic book vibe. The card panel was just created with pre programmed shaped on the scan n cut 

There is a video on my YouTube Channel Mrs H's Crafty Corner

Card Making Tutorial 

The card panel was created on the scan n cut

A piece was white card was blended with the distress oxides

The card panel had the tiny sentimenta and stamped heat embossed in the blueberry

The distressed panel had sentiments heat embossed so the could be seen through the windows, in the mint

The stamps were coloured and fussy cut out

The panel, background and images were adhered together 

This was then glued onto a Kraft card base

Nuvo Drops were then used to decprate the panel, along with a few sequins

Thank you for reading

Clearly Besotted Build It Beavers

I love these little hard working beavers from Clearly Besotted and thought that they would make a great card for fathers day

A Wine Bar Card

I made the mistake of asking Mini Miss H what sort of card she would like me to make her to give to Daddy for Fathers Day. She thought about it for the whole of about 5 seconds before she proudly announced , Erm I would like it to be a wine bar.....

My imagination totally left my body as I stumbled over my words, but after the initial "how the heck am I gonna do that?" moment. I had a little idea that developed and turned into a bigger idea....

Pop Up Box Card - Vintage Tool Box

I make no secret of the fact that I struggle with masculine cards, so to have to do 2 dad cards for my own children, 1 husband card and 1 dad and Grandad for my own father can feel belittle overwhelming and I fear I end up making them all a little similar.

I fancied something a little different for my own dad so decide to go down the route of a pop up card themed as a vintage tool box 

Fathers Day Card

I always struggle when it comes to male cards, the inspiration just does not flow like it does with female cards. So when Creative Stamping magazine came with a free set of Hunkydory, For the Love of Stamps The Great Outdoors stamp set, earlier in the year I knew that I would save them for this occasion.
