Hi Stampers,
This is the card I made for our son for his birthday. Coming up with masculine cards is always such a brain teaser. This one is great for birthdays, Father's Day, teacher...... I got the idea from fellow demonstrator Julie Davison.
I hope you will give this a try!!! I will be making more of these!! Easy masculine cards!!
Thanks for stopping by!
Hi Stampers,
Today for my Grads & Dads blog post, I made a cute Father's Day six pack. That's right, my hubby's favorite---a six pack of beer!!! This card originated from the card I posted for Easter below.
Instead, I used the cute jar framelit and silver foil sheets to cut out the beer cans. TIP: When cutting out die cuts with the gold or silver foil I place a sheet of copy paper over it then place the cutting plate on top. Any marks you have on your cutting plate will not show through on the gold or silver foil paper.
I also used the Foil Frenzy Speciality DSP again along with the new mini gift bows. BTW, I think these are SO ADORABLE!!! They are definitely one of my favorite new embellishments.
This card does fold flat and fits in a regular A2 envelope. However, with the gift bows I would probably hand deliver so they do not get ruined in the mail.
I used the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.
I also have a template for you to download for the measurements along with tutorial for the Easter Basket Card/Six Pack.

Hi Stampers,
Welcome back to Grads & Dads week. Today, I have a graduation card. I have been meaning to try this technique for so long and just thought I don't have the time. Actually, it is not time consuming at all but VERY ADDICTING!!! My head is spinning with all the ideas for cards using this technique. I am sure there are tons of names for it but I am calling it a Twist Card.
I used the new gorgeous foil frenzy speciality DSP from the new catalog. This paper is great for 3D projects--nice and thick!!! I also used the sentiment from Happy Celebrations. Open the card and this is what you see-the banner twists and opens to this:
Before I get a bunch of emails telling me I have lost my mind I think I better explain. LOL This is the first year in a very long time we have no openhouses!!! BUT-I know of at least 2 for next year so I used 2018. I cannot believe I already have a card made a year in advance!!! THAT NEVER HAPPENS!!!LOL
I hope you give this technique a try!! They are so fun to make!!

Hi Stampers,
Welcome back to today's edition of Grads & Dads Week. You can't think of summer without take me out to the ball game. I know, now you will have that song playing in your head. LOL Today, we have an alternative to yesterday's post. If your spouse, Dad, significant other is a baseball fan, then this is for them. A baseball cap treat holder. I scoured the internet for ideas. Most of the templates that are offered are for the baseball cap only and are quite small. I did find a few like this but they were smaller and for a fee. I took one look at the Window Box Thinlits and came up with my own size pattern. I hope you will give this a try.
Seeing how I live in Michigan, I had to make a Detroit Tigers colored cap. I hope you give this a try!!!

Hi Stampers,
Welcome to Grads & Dads week here on my blog. The first item is a card but not a card--more like a 3D project.
The little graduation hats are made with Stampin' Up!Window Box Thinlits. You cut out two of the Window Box Thinlits. You put together just like the directions, cutting off each score "end" on only one of the diecuts as directed. You will also need to cut off the 3 tabs for the top of the box (the ones with X's)
You then cut 2 pieces of cardstock, in this case Pacific Point. Cut one 4-1/4" x 4"1/4" and one 3-3/4" x 3-3/4".
Glue the bigger piece on top of the top of the Window Box Thinlits diecut. You will need to score the other piece. Lining the point at 1-3/4" score (as in the picture). On the opposite side, line the point at 1-1/4" and score (not pictured).
Fold back the larger scored corner and glue down. Place tear and tape where shown.
Line up with the Window Box Thinlits diecut and adhere down. Die cut one "congrats" from the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits. Adhere across the "pocket" inside.
Wind twine around to make tassle. Adhere on top with a Metal Rimmed Pearl. Place money in "pocket."
I looked for graduation mints to put in but couldn't find any so I improvised with IceBreaker Mints. I hope you will give this a try!!

I'll be back tomorrow with a cute little 3D for Father's Day. Hope to see you!!!
