It’s a Cat and Mouse Father’s Day Game Father’s Day Card

Today I am sharing a Father’s Day card that I have made for my husband for Father’s Day. This was another quick and easy card to make as I already had all the foliage and flowers die cut and the cat and mouse were easy to die cut and add to the card. This cat die looks exactly like our cat from the back.

My Project

For my card I have made a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base card out of white cardstock. I ink blended yellow and blue inks to the centre of the card front to provide a backdrop to the leaves and animals. I cut another piece of white cardstock 4″ x 5 1/4″ and die cut the oval aperture out using the Amazing Paper Grace Oval Elegant Twist dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Gina K Designs Hole in One Stamp set to the bottom of the panel in black ink and then adhered this panel to the front of the card using foam tape.

I die cut a range of foliage from the Honey Bee Stamps Honey Cuts – Spring Greenery from a range of green cardstock and white cardstock which was coloured with inks. These have been trimmed and added to the centre of the oval frame.

The cat has been die cut out of black cardstock and added to the centre of the oval with foam tape for dimension. The mouse has been cut out of brown cardstock and I sponged the edges with Frayed Burlap ink before adding it to the front of the oval with foam tape for dimension.

Happy Birthday Golfer Z-Fold Card

Kia ora Koutou

I was asked to make a birthday card for my husband’s colleague for her father-in-law who is a keen golfer and here is the card that I made for her. I have created a z-fold card to set a scene for a golf course with trees, foliage, golfing accessories and a bird that symbolises the scoring at golf. The golfing images have been coloured with copic markers and I have used a range of different Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers dies to make my backdrop. This is such a fun interactive card and I know that the recipient will cherish this.

Celebrating with Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers: Magnolia – Honey Cuts

I have a very pretty card to share with you today featuring the gorgeous Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers Magnolia – Honey Cuts. This is a beautiful flower with lots of details and was so easy to colour and put together. The pink flower really pops as I have used a complementary colour – green to coordinate with the pink. I am definitely going to invest in more Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers flowers as they are just stunning.

My project today

I have created a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card base out of white cardstock. I then layered black and white cardstock using my Crafty Corners. I cut a piece of white cardstock 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ and stenciled the brick background using Mint ink and the Gina K Designs – Stencils – Brick Wall. This was then added to the card front to create the base for the leaves and flowers.

I die cut the large leaves from the Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers: Spring Greenery – Honey Cuts out of Neenah Classic Crest 80Ib White Cardstock. I coloured them with Fresh Pear, Grassy Knoll and Key Lime inks and shaped them lightly with my fingers. I then trimmed the ends and added them to the card front creating a corner on the lower left of the card.

I have die cut all the leaves and flowers from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers Magnolia – Honey Cuts out of Neenah Classic Crest 80Ib White Cardstock. I coloured the petals with Ballet Slippers and Sparkling Rose inks before assembling the flower using foam tape to pop the petals. I then die cut the leaves from the same card and coloured them with Mint, Meadow and Emerald City inks. These were shaped lightly using my fingers. I added the leaves to the bottom left over the larger leaves using some foam tape for dimension. I then added the magnolia to the top of the leaves with some foam tape.

I stamped the sentiments from the Pink Fresh Studio – Basic Banners Stamp Set in Altenew Obsidian Black ink on white cardstock and die cut with the coordinating die. I then die cut two more banners using plain cardstock and stacked three banners together with the stamped image on top. This was added to the top of the card as shown.

To finish I have added some clear iridescent gems to the card for a bit of sparkle.
