BEST DAD - CLASSIC GARAGE SUITE

Today's card is from the series of cards I created with the Classic Garage Suite of products from the 2019 Occasions Catalogue.

This card has been created for the crafter that wants a little bit extra than just stamping.  This card is a step up from the Beginner Card I shared a couple of days ago.

My card base is Basic Black and I have used one of the sheets of paper from the Classic Garage Designer Series Paper.  On this piece of DSP I have randomly stamped all over in Basic Gray Ink the smudge stamp from the Geared Up Garage Stamp Set.  Also a car has been die cut from the DSP using the Garage Gears Thinlits Dies (awesome that I could use a die to cut this car).

The following pieces have been die cut using the Garage Gears Thinlits Dies - large cog from Silver Foil Sheet, small cogs and label from Basic Black cardstock.

The Best Dad stamp has been stamped in Pumpkin Pie on a piece of Whisper White cardstock, die cut and adhered to the label.

The card has been completed by adhering the cogs flat to the card.  The car and the sentiment have been adhered with dimensionals and some Silver Thread has been added beneath the car.

August Card Class

Projects from August Card Class

This month we created both a

Father's Day card and a male themed

birthday card as well as a 

pretty girly card.

Our Father's Day card was created with

 very nautical The Open Sea stamp set. 

 Always great for male cards.  To create the

mottled blue effect we randomly stamped

the background stamp from the You'v Got This

Stamp Set.

Our second male themed card was a

birthday card in the always popular 

male colours of Night of Navy 

and Tip Top Taupe.

Stamp sets used to create this card were 

Banner Banter, Bohemian Borders and a

  birthday greeting stamp from the retired

 Happiest Birthday Wishes Stamp Set.

It is a bit difficult to tell from this photo

but the Tip Top Taupe piece of card stock

was embossed with the Boho Chic Embossing

Folder which had been inked with Crumb

Cake ink first.

Of course, we also needed to create a pretty

girly card.  Stamp set used here is Garden

in Bloom - one of my new favourite sets.

Colours used were Calypso Coral and 

Mint Macaron.

Father's Day this Sunday

Well isn't the time just flying by.  I can't believe that it is Father's Day this Sunday.  Still looking for that perfect card for Dad?  I have created a few different cards for this occasion which I still have available for sale.   Let me know if you would like one for your Dad.  Cards are $4 each and have also been stamped inside and come with matching stamped envelopes.

Of course, you are very welcome to use some of these cards as ideas for your own very own handmade card for Dad.

Card Swap

I have created this Father's Day card for a card swap I am participating in at the moment.  I have used my favourite male themed stamp set "The Open Sea" together with a tag stamp from the "Notable Notions" set which I was lucky enough to win at convention.  Hope the recipient likes it.
