Many Manly Moments Father's Day Cards

Do you have your Father's Day cards done?  Hopefully with some of these ideas, you've created your own special card for that special someone.  

Today's share are Father's Day cards I made using the Many Manly Moments Paper Pumpkin Kit.  I love the die-cut windows and the fact that there are three different patterns.  

All of the Happy are in Pool Party.  Then I used the reverse pieces to add more color to some of the cards.  

For all the Father's out there, I wish you a very special Father's Day tomorrow!

Happy Crafting,

Father's Day - A Good Man

I was so happy to see the stamp set, A Good Man, carried over into our new catalog.  It has so many good stamps for Fathers, brothers, etc.  Great for birthdays, graduations, or any masculine celebration!

Here are a few cards I made for Father's Day, using different colors for hair and clothes using our Stampin' Blends.  Also note that we have a boy and a girl in this stamp set!  

Tomorrow I will post Father's Day cards using the Many Manly Moments Paper Pumpkin Kit.  I still have pieces left over to make Birthday cards!

Love You Lots Paper Pumpkin - Father's Day Cards

Here are a few cards I made using the Love You Lots Paper Pumpkin kit.  First is the Gift Card holders -- one with a belt/buckle and the other has a bow tie.  Both cards have "Happy Father's Day" stamped on the slide out.

These next two cards I used scraps from the kit and pieces that I started (but never finished).  

Come back tomorrow and I'll show you some cards made using A Good Man stamp set!

Happy Birthday Cards

Today I'm sharing a batch of Birthday Cards I made using scraps.  Long story short, my sister, Marilyn, sent me a video on using those scraps.  Since I already had my stuff pulled out, I started crafting these Birthday cards.  

The first card, I was using up some Designer Series Papers and a stamped image that I had colored, but never put on a card.    

The second card, I cut up the Back to Black Designer Series Papers I had cut for a class in the mail.  Since no one signed up, I had a lot to play with.  I made these in both Coastal Cabana and Flirty Flamingo.  

For the third card, I have a lot of embossed card stock that I set aside.  You know, you try it but don't like it?  Well this is one of those pieces.  On this card, it's perfect.  The image I had five stamped and ready to cut out.  Added a Happy Birthday and used the Double Scalloped Punch and dimensionals to make it pop.    

This last card, I found some strips of Designer Series Papers and another embossed piece of card stock.  I simply layered everything and added the die cut Happy Birthday I had in a baggie.     

I'm sharing these today, because it is Marilyn's Birthday!  Happy Special day to you, and hope you enjoy your special time.

Here's To You, March 2021 Paper Pumpkin

After my open house event on Saturday, I cleaned off my crafting table and pulled out March's Paper Pumpkin Kit, Here's to You.  My sister also gets Paper Pumpkin so we decided to do this kit together.  Since she lives in Pennsylvania and I'm in Missouri, we "Facetime" our crafting sessions.  

First, I showed Marilyn how to stamp the "Happy Birthday" three times using her Stamparatus.  This is one of the original designs.  

We then moved on and cut up one of the fronts to make a "window pane" effect.  This is the second one I made offsetting the cuts (I bloopered on the cut but made it work!).

We also cut up one of the envelope liners to use and background designer series papers.  I used one of the sponged sunburst on this card as well.  The sentiment is from After the Storm stamp set.

We then went to stenciling.  First we used the open tree stencil from the kit and sponged trees onto a scrap white piece of card stock. We also used the Sunburst stencil which was a bonus in this kit.  We later used this piece on a card.  

Lastly, I also made the other suggested design:  

I have lots of supplies left over and look forward to making more cards with this kit!  I hope you enjoyed today's share.
