CAS Father's Day Card

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you had a great weekend. We had a lovely family meal on Saturday and on Sunday I finished the day wedding invitations that I have been working on for a while. I couldn't make the evening invitations as I didn't have enough card. The card is on order now so I should be able to finish soon.

While I was making my husband's Father's Day card I thought it would be good to have a go at a simpler style for my dad. He doesn't really like fussy cards.

There is very little in the way of instructions, there doesn't really need to be. 

I stamped the Classic Car stamp from Visible Image at the bottom of a piece of white card with black ink and I heat embossed it with a clear powder. Then I coloured the image with my Promarkers. 

I added the sentiment cut with a Signature die from blue card that matched the mat.  There you have it, a quick Father's Day card. 

I spent most of Sunday turning this pile of bits  

Into these invitations. We are dropping them off next Sunday after we have been to the Portsmouth Craft show. I know it will be  Father's day but my husband doesn't  mind. We will go to the cinema afterwards, he will like that.

I hope my dad likes this card. He will be opening it next Sunday. 

I would like to enter challenge 17 at Get Creative Challenges.

Have a great week. 

Happy Crafting

Happy Father's Day

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

The weekend is here. I am writing this post just before we set off to take both sets of parents out for a meal. Everyone is so busy this is the best time for us to get together for Father's Day. My daughter will be joining us too. Tomorrow I will be mostly making wedding invitations. I have finished one set and they have been  delivered.

Today I am sharing the card that I made for my husband for Father's Day. He doesn't like a lot of fuss but he doesn't mind getting a card. In fact on the day we are going to a Craft Show in Portsmouth we are seeing a film and having a meal after so it will be a bit more of a treat for him. On to the card.

I started with an 8" x 8" card blank. I wanted to use lots of textures as I had a challenge I wanted to enter in mind. I used three embossing folder and a Sue Wilson border die to add the texture. 

The stamp I used is from Visible Image  it is the Classic Car. I stamped it in black and heat embossed it with a clear powder and then I coloured it with Promarkers. 

This die is a Signature die from Joanna Sheen I hadn't used it before I was very pleased with how it cuts. 

This sentiment is from Visible Image as well. It might not be quite right for Father's Day but I have been itching to put this on a card for my husband for ages. 

I would like to enter this for  Challenge 74 at Cardz 4 Guyz. 

I hope you have a great weekend. I am sure I will be telling you how we get on today at some point. Thank you for putting up with all my ramblings. 

Happy Crafting
