Father's Day Cards

I am the designated card maker at work.  This year

these are the cards that the babies in the neonatal 

intensive care unit I work at will be giving their Dads.

I am submitting them at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday

Challenge for their "Father's Day / Masculine" challenge.  The

colors in two of the cards are the same as this week's 

ColourQ challenge.  The patterned paper I used has

all of the colors for this week's challenge. I made 

multiples of each of these designs, using up some

of my retired Stampin Up paper.

Supplies ~

Paper:  All Stampin Up ~ retired patterned papers, cardstock to match the patterned paper

Dies:  Die-Versions # 1 Dad Sweet Spot & Spellbinders Circle

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Dad, It's Your Day

I have several cards for the challenge at The Paper Players to

make a CAS masculine card.  I am also posting at the 

52 Card Pickup.   I made four cards for Father's Day here.

After looking at them for a couple days, I decided on one 

that I wanted to mass produce.  This is a CASE of the first 

of them.  I work in a neonatal intensive care unit and make

cards for the babies to give to their Dads.  Previous cards

that I have made for Father's Day are here.

 

Supplies ~ 

Stamps:  PTI Star Prints, Craft's Meow Grads & Dads

Paper:  PTI Rustic White, SU Dusty Durango & Basic Gray SU Patterns Stack In Colors 2010-2012, 

      SU Comfort Cafe DSP 

Ink:  SU Poppy Parade, Midnight Muse & Dusty Durango

Additional Supplies:  Confetti (instead of sequins)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Moving On ...

 I hope you all had a lovely and relaxing Mother's Day with

your families.  Mine was a rather memorable one, but not really
 in a good way ;).  My 8 year old son who has ADHD 

came home on Friday with a project that is due on

Monday, that took over nine hours of work to complete.

This was something that should have been completed at

school, but because of his inability to focus (despite being 

on medication), he was so far behind.  We would work for a awhile, 

and then take a break that we both badly needed. I ended up having

to cancel taking my Mom out to lunch to work on this project.

Of course, being my Mom, she was very understanding, and 

we will certainly reschedule.  If anyone has any suggestions for

writing projects with kids ADHD, I would be forever grateful.

On our breaks, I would work on a card to help to myself relax.

I am getting an early start on Father's Day cards for work.

I tried using some of the masculine color combinations

at the Dynamic Duos and combined them with another

challenge.  It is their one year anniversary ~ Happy Anniversary! 

We could use any past challenge colors. 

This is the one I am submitting to Dynamic Duos.  I am also posting

it at the 52 Card Pickup.

This one I used the same color combination and Heather's 

 Make It Monday ~ Beyond Paper With Impression Plates.

I used aluminum tape for the stars.

 
 

Here I used the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch and the color 

combination of Pure Poppy and Black.

 

 

 

Lastly, I used the sketch at Retro Sketches and the

 Soft Suede and Pool Party color combination.

 

 

It's been a long weekend and I am going to skip a detailed listing of supplies.

The stamp sets were PTI Star Prints and The Craft's Meow Grads & Dads.

The patterned paper is retired SU Comfort Cafe.   If anyone 

is wondering about anything else, I will be happy to let you know.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Catching Up ~ Father's Day in the NICU

I am working on cleaning up my memory card.

No challenges ~ just posting cards that I made last year 

for the babies in the NICU to give to their Dads for 

Father's Day.  Often I use a card that I have made and

CASE it, making it easier to mass produce.  I used this card 

to CASE for the Father's Day cards for 2012.  

All of the details for the card are on that post.

    

 

I made these in 2010 using all SU supplies.

I made the pickup trucks cards in 2011 for Father's Day using 

SU Loads of Love.  I found an old automobile supply

catalog at a rummage sale that I used for the background

paper.  The trucks were water colored and then fussy cut.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Another Father's Day Card

Another Father's Day card for challenges this week at ColourQ and PaperPlay.   I stole found this incredible deal on the Classic Convertible set by Stampin Up at a rummage sale.  On eBay it is selling for $60.00, and I paid $8.00.  And then of course because I had to use it right away, I drew a blank.  So I cased this card, substituting the correct colors for the challenge.

The Challenge at PaperPlay ~

Week 24 - For a Man (with twine) 

Our challenge this week is called "For a Man - with twine" - it's almost Father's Day here in Ireland (and in the U.K., I think), so you could do something for a Dad or Grandad - but anything for a guy will do - but it must have twine on it somewhere. 

Supplies ~

Stamp: SU Classic Convertibles

Paper: PTI & SU (I substituted  Marina Mist for the Brocade Blue)

Ink: SU
Punch: SU
Additional Supplies:  Button & Baker's Twine ~ PTI

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Father's Day

One more card for this week's ColourQ challenge.  I missed the last two weeks, so I figure can enter a second card ~ my first one is here.   I like how the SU Summer Smooches DSP has both the Island Indigo and Tempting Turquoise in one design.  I also used the sketch at Card Patterns and focused on polka dots, which is the current challenge at CAS-ual Fridays.

 

CFC56: Create a Clean And Simple project using polka dots.

Supplies ~ 

Stamp & Buttons ~ PTI

Paper ~ SU & PTI

Ink ~ SU

Dies ~ Sizzix SU

Twine ~ The Twinery

 It's the first day of summer vacation, so I had a buddy to stamp with ~

 another card by Matthew.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
