Father's Day Cards









I’m so happy to be off for the summer!!! I have gotten to play a little the past couple of days while trying desperately to catch up on laundry. I needed to get some Father’s Day card made so that was the project for today. Two of the cards I used Beate’s Weekend Challenge. Boy has it been I while since I have gotten to try out a challenge of any kind.
I check out the challenges but have not had time to play lately. I really got into distressing!!! Maybe I was trying to relieve some stress leftover from work??? Anyways these cards were a lot of fun making. I used a one 5 ½ X 12 in. piece of Su Designer Paper on all five cards. Tonight my hubby gets to pick which one he want to give to his Dad. We will be celebrating Father’s Day tomorrow with his Family since we all will be on vacation on Father’s Day.

Supplies I used:
Bronco Buster, Wanted, Weather BG Stamp Sets
Blue Bayou, Really Rust, Sage Shadow, Close to Cocoa, Very Vanilla, SU Designer Paper
Really Rust, Close to Cocoa ink
SU Punches, Su Buttons, Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Tim Holtz Destresser (?), sanding block

Thanks for Visiting and Have a Great Weekend!!!!!!!

June Christmas Card Challenge



Today I worked on my June CCC08. I realized today that I didn’t make any cards in May for the challenge. My life was just to busy to get to them. I’m just going to let them go and not stress my self out about it. I made this set with a one sheet wonder I came up with for my stamp camp in April. You have to use a 12x12 double sided pattern paper.








First cut is 5 inch then two cuts at 3 ¾ in. ea., you will get three pieces. These pieces I cut in half either way and place on the same card. This is why you need a double sided pattern paper cause I turn on piece over and glue one on top and one on the bottom.

The next cut is 4 in. and then three cuts at 3 in. ea. this will make four pieces.

The last strip left you make two cuts 4 in. ea. this will give make three pieces.

When all cutting is done you only have a small piece of paper left. So there is not much waste and you have enough pieces to make 10 cards.

Supplies I used:
Basic Grey Figgy Pudding-Nestled pattern paper, SU Cranberry Crisp, Cool Caribbean, River Rock, Very Vanilla Card Stock
River Rock, Cranberry Crisp Ink
All Through the Year, Flakey Friends, Seasonal Scribbles (TAC) Stamp Sets
Scallop Punch, Circle Punch, SU Ribbon Cranberry Crisp and River Rock



Thanks for visiting!! Have a wonderful week!!
