Accordion Card – Father’s Day

Below is the Accordion Bookmark card that I made for 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.  ... View Post

Au Chocolat Father’s Day Card

Okay, this definately lacks a WOW factor, but it is a quick use of the Designer Series papers "Au Chocolat" for my Grads & Dads themed Stamp a Stack of Stuff class this month.  I am not a dots and stripes person, but I absolutely love the paisleys and other "flourish" style designs on this "Chocolate Chip" and Vanilla printed papers.

I love the Autumn Leaf Prints set and am very sorry to see it go!  The paper is Sahara Sand, Artichoke & Vanilla.  Inks are Mellow Moss & Artichoke.  Some hemp & Hodgepodge Hardware do the trick to ...

Father’s Day/Masculine Card

I will be sharing samples from my May "Stamp a Stack of Stuff" this Thursday with the "Dads & Grads" theme.  Masculine cards are not always easy to think up with the abundance of beautiful floral sets! I saw this idea done in a recent magazine and got to thinking that our "Sentimental Journey" Designer Series papers fit PERFECTLY into little "shirts". The neck was "notched" out at the top, ...
