For Father “Rustic” Card
Posted: Wednesday, June 4th, 2008 | CommentsWell, I’m aware that this card is suspiciously like my Spring Song card, but I do like the color combination and the look of this type of card.
The card is River Rock with the Weathered background stamp in Close to Cocoa.
The image from the "For Father" set is a toolkit stamped in Staz-On and colored with Stampin’ Write Markers of the following colors: Creamy Caramel, Sahara Sand, Mellow Moss & More Mustard.
The layers behind the focal image are torn pieces of Chocolate Chip cardstock and a torn piece of Creamy Caramel cardstock (crimped).
Sponging helps the ‘rustic’ look. How’d I do?

Accordion Card – Father’s Day
Posted: Sunday, June 3rd, 2007 | Comments
This is the Accordion card that I made my husband last year for Father’s Day. The papers used are called “Weathered” from Stampin’ Up!’s “Timeworn Collection” of background papers. They are different wood grain textured papers that are *very* realistic!
The “card” itself is a 12 x12 sheet scored in half to make it 6 inches high and scored at 3 inch intervals for 4 panels. The link to my project gallery for this project in more detail is here.
What I did for the one I made for my husband (top) is have each panel feature one child, three photos total each child… the two on the front of the panel are of them at approx. 2 years old and then 5 years old and then current age on the pull out bookmark. They each wrote a message to their dad on the back of the bookmark.
We made one for our Grads & Dads class this month (see second sample). It was a bit plainer to allow for more journaling.
