Father's Day

Quick one for my dad.
He loves football and won't be interested if the card is crafty or full of fancy techniques, good job he won't notice that I hadn't heated the 'f' properly and the embossing powder dropped off...

Stamp was free with a recent magazine and decoupage is by Anita's.

Dad

The card I made for my dad for Father's Day recently.

He loves anything to do with nature so I used Papermania 'Home To Nest' range.

Alpha is Sizzix Script

Wanted

Bit late in showing this one - my Dad's Father's Day card for this year. He loved it!

The 'Wanted' part of the card is a Waltzingmouse stamp but the actual stamp is a lot smaller. I stamped it in black ink on to plain white card, scanned it, then enlarged and printed on to kraft cardstock.

Because of the enlargement the definition has suffered but on this style of card where it's a bit distressed- looking anyway it wasn't an issue.

I've torn and inked the edges and added some faux stitching and twine.

The wood-effect cardstock is Pay-per-wallet.

Father's Day Gift Bag

A little gift bag to match the card on previous post.
Made at SU class.

Father's Day

This was the Father's Day card we made at SU class.
I couldn't give this one to my dad because my mum made the same card (she comes to class with me) and she wanted to give him it.

A new technique we learned was how to make a splattered effect with a felt-pen and a spritzer tool.
I guess I'll be putting the spritzer tool thingy on my next order.

Father's Day

This is the card I made for my dad this year, he loves anything nautical.
Image is Anita's, I found the verse on the internet.
Faux bow (strip of ribbon, small piece of looped ribbon attached horizontally and then a smaller loop going over both vertically).

Apron

This was the card I made to match the BBQ on the previous post.

The spotty paper was free with a magazine and the plain blue card is pearlescent. The tag has a Father's Day message that I printed on the computer. The 'DAD' is a Sizzix alpha (Block Party) and some scraps of ribbon to finish off.

BBQ

Something a bit different for me.
I'm not great at measuring, cutting out, following written instructions....but I saw this on a blog and thought it would be fun for Father's Day.

Can you tell what it is yet?

The instructions cost just under $3, so £2 via Paypal. They are sent as a pdf file for you to print out and include a template to make a matching card in the shape of an apron.

The card fits inside the BBQ itself and is to hold one of those giftcards you can get in the shops. I'm not giving a gift card so I want to make the greeting card a fair bit larger, hopefully get that done for the next blog post.

Here's the completed BBQ. I haven't copied the original exactly in that I haven't put wheels on (don't have the correct size punches) and also a temp gauge missing from the lid.

The instructions were very straightforward although I was concerned at one point that it wasn't going to work due to a printed template not fitting properly, turned out okay though.

My dad has just got a new BBQ so this is a joke for him for Father's Day this weekend.

Happy Father's Day
