Happy Dad's Day

, , , ,

Happy Father's Day! I know that today is hard for some of you. It's also my husband's first Father's Day without his dad. My son was well-aware of this and said with a sad face, "Bucky (his Dad's Minecraft character) doesn't have a Baba anymore." We're making it the best day possible. I'm very lucky to still have my dad and I'm having my parents over tonight to celebrate.


This card for my dad features me (teehee), from the Life is Beautiful stamp set, coloured with Copics and embellished with Wink of Stella. I created a custom sentiment using the Happy Holidays dies and the Journaling Alphas dies. I used the centre of the letter A as an apostrophe and it works perfectly!

Smile, Smile, Smile + May Release Sneak Peek!

This friendship card features two adorable bears, illustrated by Elena Roussakis! You're already familiar with the cute little guy on the left, from Lumberjack Love. The other one with the ruff and holding the camera is from a brand new set that will be revealed next week. Did I just hear a squeal? I know, I know! I'm super excited about this set. It's the cutest, most unique circus set ever! You only have to wait 'til Monday to see more. ;)


Both the camera and happy mail are from Blog Planner, the sentiment is from Life is Beautiful and the grass is from Scandinavian Prints. Does it look like the bears are posing for a selfie? Heehee. I love it when combining so many sets still results in a clean and simple card. It's a great way to stretch your stamps and get a lot of use out of every set.

Life is Beautiful

, , , , ,
N&T Apr 13

Hello! It's Rubeena, and I'm back to share a guest post with you today. When I craft, I usually just want to make pretty things. However, today's card was inspired by a deep gratitude for the beautiful things in life. I mixed up a few sets to create a collage look. One of my first sets from Neat & Tangled was the Origami Map. I started with a 4.25" x 5.5" watercolor panel that I prepped with some powder to prevent stray embossing powder. I stamped parts of the map in the corners with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Then I colored using blue and green watercolor shades.

I die-cut black cardstock using A Lot To Say die. Then I stamped the sentiment from Life is Beautiful with VersaMark ink on it and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I arranged it in the upper left corner and trimmed it down before adding it to the colored panel with foam tape.

What I wanted this card to convey is joy. I feel quite blessed in my life, and I'm surrounded by good things and experiences in my world. I wanted to use the cute girl from Life is Beautiful, along with a few of the flower pots. I stamped them with a Copic-friendly black ink and colored with Copic markers. I fussy cut them and set them aside. The next part is a bit tricky. I used the Hoop die to cut through double-sided foam. I had tried it with Scor sheets first but forgot to tape one side to cardstock to make it sturdier. The foam worked out better. I removed one side of the sheet so I could sprinkle some blue glitter on it. After removing the excess, I cut off the hoop closure and taped the circle on the card. I added the girl and flower pots using foam tape. Finally, I finished it off with some sequins from Lucy's Little Things Phosphorescence Shaker Mix.
