faux quilted card with Craft with you bundle

Crafting with You Series #3 of 4

This is episode 3 of 4 in my Crafting with You Series and today and am featuring the sewing machine image. I thought it would be appropriate to make a “quilted” card effect with the sewing machine. This is a quick and simple card and it’s a great way to use up your scraps of […]

happy fathers day lighting the way

Happy Father’s Day

Good day everyone – wishing all the Dads out there and remembering Dads who are no longer with us a very Happy Father’s Day. Our Dad is our unsung hero – they light the way to make us true, brave and strong and I thought that Stampin’ Up!’s Lighting the Way encapsulated that so well. […]

Clean and Simple Father’s Day card

Here’s a clean and simple Father’s Day card using the He’s All That stamp set and the new Nested Essentials dies. I also used the Alphabest photopolymer stamps to spell “dad” and punched it out with the Best Label punch. There are dies to coordinate with the He’s All That stamp set, but I didn’t […]

Easy Masculine card with Wildlife Wonder

Father’s Day is just round the corner so I am continuing the masculine theme this week with an easy masculine card with Wildlife Wonder.

Since the restrictions have lifted we have all become complacent and I caught it from hubby […]

Thank you card with Earthen Textures

Happy Sunday! In my Top Tip Tuesday slot on my YouTube channel, I demonstrated how to create a stay put bow on this card. In the original card, I had masked the Pretty Peacock vase so that the tall Copper Clay vase would give the illusion of being behind it. Not wanting to waste the […]

Pebbled Path tackle box with Gone Fishing

Father’s Day Tackle box card

I took my inspiration for a Father’s Day Tackle box card from Stampin’ Up!’s samples in their May 2023 – April 2024 Annual catalogue. Knowing very little about fishing, some of the dies were baffling, but you can be sure that the clues are all in the picture samples in the catalogue. Yesterday, I published […]

masculine card old olive radiating stitches and rhino ready

Masculine card with Rhino Ready

I am continuing with Rhino Ready to make another masculine card. I added the Alphabest photopolymer stamp set to stamp “dad” then fussy cut these out so that they would fit on the edge of the Radiating Stitches frame. By the way, there is a coordinating punch with the Alphabest photopolymer stamp set but I […]
