This card was made for a very special man who recently turned 70! The base of the card is on Whisper White card stock. On top of that is a piece of Coastal Cabana card stock. The next layer is a wave design from Stampin' Up! designer paper. The three fish are made from a stamp I bought from Hobby Lobby. They were stamped, colored in with markers, fussy cut and then I used Crystal Effects also from Stampin Up to coat them. I used an eyelet in the center of the designer paper which was already attached to the Coastal Cabana card stock before attaching it to the card base. I also punched holes through the tops of the fish and used a silver cord to loop them together and then through the eyelet. The cord was taped in the back and then the whole thing was attached to the card base. The greeting was stamped with Coastal Cabana ink on Whisper White card stock and attached to a piece of Coastal Cabana and then I used Stampin Dimensionals to give the card some dimension. Then I made a liner for the envelope with a repeated pattern of the fish. This was also stamped with Coastal Cabana ink and die cut with a thinlits die. The front of the envelope also was stamped with the fish. Please leave a comment if you like this card or have any questions.

I made this card for my former supervisor/friend; Bob who is retiring on Monday. He always had interesting stories to tell about his former students, places he had been and experiences he had had. Bob was even an extra in the Johnny Depp movie - Public Enemy! I thought this card (I hope it did anyway) captured his worldliness and sophistication. I expect one day that he will publish an interesting novel. This is my newest Father's Day card. It is on "Pool Party" card stock. On top of that is a piece of grey card stock I embossed with a wood folder. The ties were created by coloring directly on the stamp and then stamped on Whisper White card stock. I then cut them out and affixed them to the "wood" background with clothes pins on a linen clothesline. The Father's Day banner was stamped, cut out and then affixed with square silver brads. The inside of the card is blank for your personal greetings The outside of the envelope is also stamped with "Happy Father's Day" on the flap and then lined with designer paper. Please check my store for pricing. Also please contact me for additional details. I am working on a graduation card and a memories album at the moment. I will post the graduation card after Friday, so the recipient and her family members do not see it until after she receives it. The memories album will have to wait until the end of this month.
These cards have a Father's Day greeting but could easily be for a birthday. I've decided to add the option of leaving the greeting theme up to you. inside is blank as well. I can put whatever you want inside, just contact me with details. This "manly" card is made on Whisper White card stock with designer paper on top from S.U.'s This and That collection. I stamped a ferris wheel and old fashioned bike on top as well as gears and ink spots. I also sponged the sides to grunge it up. I stamped Celebrate on a label and affixed that to the bottom of the card. Celebrate is also stamped on the back of the envelope as well as cascading gears. I lined the envelope with the same designer paper and stamped a ferris wheel on it to coordinate with the card. Here is one of the cards I made with a man in mind. This card was made with several stamp sets from Stampin' Up! the goose is from one called Wetlands. I colored in the goose with Stampin' Up markers, cut him out and placed him on a Whisper White card stock which had been stamped and colored with marker as well. The negative image was made with a super cool new edgelit die. I stamped the image of a group (gaggle?) of geese on a piece of cellophane and attached that to the negative frame and then attached that to a piece of card stock that I had run through my big shot with a wood grain embossing folder. Then I put those images on a Limeade Green card. I sprayed the card with ink to give it a grunge look. The inside of the card is blank so you can put your own greeting or if there is a special quote you like, I can put that on the inside. I did not put a greeting on the outside either so that you have the option of picking one for the occasion. If you want it for Father's Day or a birthday just let me know and I will put that on your card. The front side of the envelope is stamped with a line of geese. The back of the envelope is stamped with a feather from another stamp set. This would make a great card for Father's Day which is just around the corner. I will have another card or two to show you tomorrow. Please stay "tuned".
