I love creating cards, especially for Father's Day. It's so nice to give a hand made card to someone who appreciates it. This month at Scrappin Stuff I created two different Father's Day cards.

This one uses Fancy Pants pattern paper:

This one uses Graphic45 pattern paper:


Directions can be found here .

Summertime!

King of the Grill card
I started with a card base I created with my Spellbinders Grand Calibur dies. Check out that Karen Foster die - isn't it amazing!

Tag Book

This new post is up at Scrappin Stuff .

This really sweet Coupon book by Adorn-it caught my eye. While the packaging claims this kit to be a “heartfelt coupon book”, I wanted to see what else could be created with this kit. The kit comes with everything you need to create this tag book (except the paper), so I had lots of thoughts on the variety of projects to make.



Each page was created as a mini layout and then adhered to the envelope once it was completed. The base layer on each page was cut 3 3/8” x 6 ¼”, allowing a little bit of each envelope to show.



The front and back covers use Moxxie pattern papers along with some black cardstock to help the colors pop. I tied ribbon between the front cover layers and added an acrylic heart with metallic thread. Once completed, I punched holes and inserted the included rings. I then tied ribbons to the rings and added a key with metallic thread.


Pages 2 and 3 have spots for photos (2” x 2 ½”) along with some quotes.


Pages 4 and 5 have matted quotes.



Pages 6 and 7 have matted quotes, brads and a journaling block (3/4” x 4 ¾”)



Pages 8 and 9 have photo mats or journaling blocks (1 ¾” x 5 ¾”) along with some torn Moxxie papers.



Each tag was covered with cardstock and/or pattern paper. Quotes have been added to some and photo mats have been added. I have inked the edges where necessary.






This book would be a wonderful gift to give as a bridal shower gift. Change up the papers and create a Mother's Day Gift or even a Christmas gift. Oh the possibilities!!!!


Supplies:

Coupon Book: Adorn-It
Cardstock: Bazzill
Pattern paper: Prima, Moxxie
Brads: Creative Impressions
Ink: Clearsnap
Quotes: Making Memories

Masculine Spring Cards

Another project I created this month for Scrappin Stuff are masculine cards. I know that creating something masculine has many of us in a quandry, so I used some Graphic 45 papers to create these cards. Graphic 45 papers are double sided pattern papers that provide amazing color and theme combinations. I love using these papers to create cards. Masculine cards can be somewhat difficult to create, but this sports themed paper is perfect for creating masculine cards. Stop by the store and pick up some papers today.

School Days Mini Album

I love to create mini books. I find they are the perfect project to create when you need a gift. They are quick to make and oh, so much fun. You can also use up tons of scraps with these minis. This month at Scrappin Stuff, I created a School Days mini book.



I think this would be a perfect gift for a grandparent to see what a child has been up to during the year. I also think it would be a perfect end of year teacher thank you gift. Details are on the blog.

Christmas Cards

At Scrappin Sports this month, there are tons of fabulous projects to see.

I found some awesome papers in the store and created Christmas cards. Using an assortment of papers from the store, I was able to create some lovely cards. Don’t be afraid to mix up your papers and use them for a variety of projects. The green Reminisce striped paper, for example, is a sports themed paper. The opposite side is full of sports words. While I purchased this paper with the intention of using it for a sports layout, it was perfect to use for my Christmas cards.
