Happy Father’s Day

Hi friends! Happy Fri-YAY! I hope you’re having a great week! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Ally’s Angels and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #68! Our challenges are always ‘anything goes’ and we’d love for you to come over and play with us! I created a Father’s Day card with an acetate panel on the front flap showing a majestic lake scene. What guy wouldn’t love this?!

I cut a standard A2 size landscape top-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# White cardstock. I cut an oval aperture in the front flap with a Memory Box Stitched Oval Layers die and adhered a piece of acetate behind it. Using Catherine Pooler Rockin’ Red and Black Jack inks along with the Stampin’ Up Let’s Set Sail stamp set and Sailboat Builder Punch, I created the sailboat and adhered it to the acetate on the front flap. Using the Hero Arts Year Round Messages stamp set, I stamped the sentiment in black ink in the lower right corner. The final touch was adding two Stampin’ Up Star Designer Elements to the lower left corner.

I reserved the stitched oval die cut from the front flap to use on the inside of the card. Using the Stampin’ Up Let’s Set Sail stamp set, I stamped the water in Catherine Pooler Stone Blue and Tranquil inks, sailboat shadow in Twilight ink, and birds in Jack Black ink, which completed the card.

I'm definitely what one could consider a crafting junkie! I love making cards, 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, mini albums and gift bags), mixed media projects, altering items, as well as occasional beading and making jewelry! Fortunately, hubby is very supportive! Life is good! :D
