Men’s Vest Card
Posted: Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009 | Comments
Isn’t this adorable?
My husband doesn’t really like nature scenes (deer, wolves, etc.) for Father’s Day cards… he refers to them as ‘road-kill’ cards (niiiiiice… he’s so lucky he still gets one with that attitude!).
Since he dresses up for work (well, he doesn’t wear vests, but he does wear a tie), I think that this is more appropriate.
Accessories:
Close to Cocoa cardstock
To the Nines Designer Series Paper
Mini silver brads
Close to Cocoa ink, sponge daubers
Vanilla taffeta ribbon, ¾ inch square punch
1 1/16th inch hole punch, ¾ inch hole punch,
Dimentionals™
In advance to the requests, I have included the PDF template (left). Have fun with it! I really love the Designer Series Paper ‘To The Nines’ and the ‘Wanted’ set paisley stamp *just* coordinated!
*NEW* I have created a shortcut key in my sidebar to pull up all of the current and past Father’s day ideas that I have done, they only show four per page, so be sure to go back in the history (previous page) to see them all!

Father’s Day Dress Shirt Card
Posted: Thursday, May 28th, 2009 | Comments
I love this truly quick card.
And in anticipation of 1000 requests… I have included a PDF with the recipe and the dimentions and template. Just quickly though, I used the Manchester Designer Series paper, Twill Tape ribbon, and you can’t tell by the photo, but the collar is Always Artichoke which is the same as the darkest stripe in the shirt.
This is my gift to my wonderful followers for being patient with me for being an inconsistent blogger lately.
I am very excited to be a presenter at Josee Smuck’s Stamping Girls Convention in Ottowa, Canada starting tomorow. I’m a bit nervous as well and am hoping to impress!
As you can see by the detail shot (below) the top of the card is cut so that the collar doesn’t go above the standard sized card/envelope.
The knot for the tie is a trick… check out the PDF download for more information! I have some fabulous Father’s Day & Masculine card ideas coming… when I get home from Canada!

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?
