BBQ Dad - Happy Father's Day

For the Boys is our challenge theme at Creative Knockouts and our fabulous sponsor is none other than Dr. Digi's House of Stamps!  They have a huge variety of manly images and for my creation I picked BBQ Bill.

When I first started making cards, my forte was masculine cards.  My boys were young so I was just focused on card making for them and their buddies. I found it really difficult to transition into making feminine cards, I actually hated it - all the sparkle and fluff (tee hee).  Now it seems I don't make many masculine cards and I had so much fun making this one.

I colored Bill and his BBQ with Copic markers and decided to try my hand at a double easel card.  It took a few tries to get the measurements right and overall I'm happy with the turnout.  I was having some issues with it standing on it's own so I decided to use twine to keep it standing (see below).

  

What's nice about this fold is it's compact and can be mailed in a regular sized card envelope.  There are a few things I would adjust but that's for another time!  

The inside sentiment is from the Father's Day digital set by Whimsy Stamps and the outside is from Paper Smooches Uplifters (I'm so sad the shop is now closed). I used a screw head brad to attach the bread-clip embellie or as the package says "market tags" by I kan'dee and I have been hanging on to these for many years (not sure why) and is the first time I've opened the package.

I hope you are able to join us and enter your creation here for a chance to win 2 digis of your choice!

Time to celebrate that special Dad in your life!  They will be proudly sporting those ties, socks, bathrobes, hats and playing with their new sporting gear and tools!

This image is BBQ Bill from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps.  My poor hubby has the same look on his face very time he tries to barbeque.  The boys and I have come to realize that no matter how hard he tries, everything will be well done.

I hope you all spoil your men and have fun!!

Dad Challenge at Cards for Men

It's time for Challenge #11 at Cards for Men!  Our theme for this challenge is "Dad".  You have until June 9th to link up your creation for a chance to win 2 digis from our sponsor, Dr. Digi's House of Stamps.

I love making guy cards and Dr. Digi's is an awesome place to find guy stuff.  This digi is BBQ Bill and I colored him up with my copic markers.  The black background paper is from my stash and the red paper is BBQ Words by Pebbles Inc.  The hot dog embellie came with the BBQ Words paper pack and I added some twine and a computer generated sentiment.  Voila! 
         

Welcome to the brilliantly bizarre brain of Dr. Digi's House of Stamps. 

Here you will find Monsters, Aliens, Odd balls and Dundertons as well as many many more wonderful digital stamps.   Our artist and founder cut his teeth in the craft world at the company "Just Inklined", where his unique digis made a huge impression.
