FATHER'S DAY CARD FOR MY SON

HEY BLOGGIES,

Several days ago I posted the Father's Day card we made at my new card group at a local church.  Today I created the same card but wanted it to be more specific for my SON.  So I used one of the stamps that came in MY PAPER PUMPKIN kit last month and now it is a Father's Day Card for my son:

 This is in it's see through envelope ready for me to give it to my son today.  But I wanted you to see how cute this TINY TAG is with some bakers twine on the end of it.

Here is a better closeup so you could see the SON tag.  Isn't it stinkin' cute??!!  LOVE IT.

Here is another photo of this card in the Landscape mode from our class.   I wanted you to see the STRIPES EMBOSSING FOLDER and how cool that looks.

I have entered this card at:

DOWNLINE CARDMAKING NIGHT

HEY BLOGGIES,

Tonight some of my downline came over and we created a Father's Day Card and a New InColors Bookmarker.  It was a fun evening that was laid back, fun and with lots LOTS of talking and laughing.  The Father's Day card was kept very simple so we could focus on our business meeting and discuss the amazing new catalog going live in about a week!

 I love the banners on this

Being a bit unorganized because of my moving, I forgot to take photos of our cards.  However Karen was sweet enough to email me a photo of her card so I could share it with you.  I designed it and provided the supplies; Tammy used her ecutter and MDS downloads for the sentiment and the embossed oval, and Karen made this one...DEFINITELY A TEAM EFFORT.  That is what I love about Stampin' Up!  Meeting new people who become customers, friends and then join your team so we can do even MORE things together.  These sweet ladies in my life have enriched it very much and I am thankful they found me so that we could become friends/

 A tradition I like to do each new catalog reveal is to have everyone make a bookmark of some kind that shows the NEW IN COLORS.  Last night we used PETITE PETALS stamp set and the 5 new BEAUTIFUL IN COLORS to create our bookmarks.

We also used some scrumptious satin Hello Honey ribbon and the new thicker twine in Baked Brown Sugar for the top.  And that cute scallop top is made by using the SCALLOP TAG TOPPER PUNCH - a MUST for everyone!!  You can make tags, banners, goodie holders, decorative cards, etc.  Very worth the investment to purchase this punch.

MOSSY  MEADOW, BLACKBERRY BLISS, HELLO HONEY, LOST LAGOON AND TANGELO TWIST are the names of these YUMMY colors  -  almost good enough to eat!!

thanks for stopping by to visit.  We would LOVE to have you join our team - Jen's Wrens.

I want to share the card I made from May's Paper Pumpkin Kit.  A fun Father's Day kit and I love the colors!!

 The card base has a very subtle pattern on it that the camera did not pick up.  There are two large banner stickers for each card.  the blow one is cut  with a zig zag along the bottom and the green one is in a point.

I used my aqua painter and first wet the green banner, then picked up some gumball green ink and painted that on and 2 different shades of blue and just water colored them on to add some dimension.

I also used a gumball green marker and my marina mist stampin spot to color the stamp.  Two candy dots and another banner layer behind the sentiment were added and then I used dimensionals to pop it up over the bakers twine bow.

I stamped "dad" in gumball and marina mist all over the envelope since I am hand delivering this one to my hubbs.

ALL ABOARD - TRAIN CARD FOR SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY CHALLENGE

HEY BLOGGIES,

Still in the "ready to move" mode.  Our closing date has been pushed ahead one more week.  So here we are with everything packed and just waiting until the closing so we can move and get settled in.  My kitchen is empty so we are living with paper plates, plastic utensils and paper cups.  What can't be microwaved can't be cooked at home right now.  We thought it was only going to be a few days but best laid plans, etc.  So we still have another week to be like this.

On to my card.  I got my NEW BOX OF GOODIES from the NEW CATALOG and the TRAVELER stamp set caught my eye. For SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY this week,

 Here is my take on this fun sketch:

I like the vintage feel of this train stamp in the TRAVELER set, so I knew that is what I wanted for my card. Tammy had a train track stamp from a different company's photopolymer set and I used that as my image on the left side.  Then my brain started spinning about what else goes with a train.  

My friend Tammy was helping me because all my stuff is packed except this new box of goodies, so she came up with the other items that coordinated with our TRAVELER stamp set.  I used the NEW in-color called HELLO HONEY, which is an interesting color yellow.  It works GREAT for antiquing edges.

We colored 3 large rhinestones with permanent markers to look like the crossing lights at a train track.  Then we used the Ticket Punch for the ticket and stamped with another photopolymer stamp from the "M" store.

The sentiment "THERE'S ONLY ONE YOU" from a retired Sale-a-Bration set called Vintage Verses from a few years ago seemed to fit perfectly with the one ticket AND is perfect for a masculine birthday OR for FATHER'S DAY.  Awesome, huh?  It was also such a great vintage design and with some antiquing with the Hello Honey around the edges and layered with red it fits perfectly!!

Some CRUMB CAKE ink sponged around the card to make it appear vintage and a fussy cut part of the ticket stamped in a different color popped up on dimensionals completes the card.  Oh, and corner rounding it on the right side.  

Hope you enjoyed this card.  If you have any questions, please let me know.  

Hop on over to SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY CHALLENGE BLOG and see what the other members of our design team have made with this sketch.  Then create YOUR card and upload it.  I would LOVE to see what you create.

p.s.  You are going to LOVE this HELLO HONEY new In-Color for the upcoming catalog.
