Super Fun(tache)tic Dad

Christmas [or not] Bingo Challenges has a new challenge ready to go for you!

CBC will feature a new Bingo card for each challenge and while this isn't your typical game of BINGO, you are required to use at least three items in ONE column.

We are a "just for fun" challenge where you will have the chance to proudly display our Winner or Top Pick Badge!

My choice is the "N" column - Masculine, Enamel Dots, Teal and Fancy Fold.

 Assembling the gate fold card I used papers by Max & Whiskers, Elvis Collection and the sentiments are from Dude! by Kelly Purkey and Fun(tashe)tic by The Craft's Meow (both no longer available)

I cut a number of mustache layers using Matey Mustaches die cuts by Echo Park and glued the layers together to make a stack. I glued the mustaches to the lighter panel, added some teal enamel dots and applied the sentiment using foam squares.

So glad you stopped by and I look forward to seeing your creation!

Dad, you are ....

Hello all! I'm back with a couple of my creations using images by Kate Hadfield.  Since Father's Day is coming up, I decided to create a couple of cards for the special Dad's out there.

The first card was created using the "We Go Together Extras" Collection.  This collection is a freebie when you subscribe to The Doodle Den, so make sure you head on over to sign up!

The image above actually comes with fries however I just wanted the holder so I could add my own "fries".  I also added the sentiment along the front. For the fries I used my Cricut Joy to trace and cut the sentiments.  

This second card is a quick an easy make, using pre-colored Father's Day Journalers, also a freebie at The Doodle Den,  I used Essential Alphabet Dies from MFT to cut out "My Hero".  I added some foam tape to the back to give it a bit of dimension.

Make sure to check out the Gallery for some inspiration!

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!

You're the Man

I enjoy creating masculine cards so when I get a chance to build my stash of manly cards I get quite excited.    This digi is Gardening Gus by Dr. Digi's.  I own many manly digi stamps from Dr. Digi's, they have such a great selection to choose from!

I colored Gus with my copic markers then added some fun layers with brightly colored paper. I hope this will inspire some of you to start creating those manly cards. Thanks for stopping by!

Dad, You're the Best!

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!!

Firstly, Happy Mother's Day to all you mom's out there. I had a wonderful day, starting with beautiful treasures from my beautiful boys and coffee in bed!

The weather today is very unpredictable, sun and warm weather one minutes and grey skies with rain the next. This is a good opportunity for me to sneak downstairs and create!
