Father's Day Card with Hero Arts

 A one-layer Father's Day card for my Dad!

The hot air balloon and first half of the sentiment is from Hero Arts Father's Day kit that was sold through JoAnn.

Father's Day with Concord & 9th

I kept this card very simple using the "Monster Hugs" stamp set from Concord & 9th.  The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn's "Dad + Me".  All were stamped in Versafine and heat embossed.  Then I used the Altenew Watercolor 36 pan set and finished the image using a few Polychromos pencils.

Father's Day & Birthday Card with Hero Arts

This was a fun card to make!
To celebrate my step dad's birthday and father's day, I created this large tri-fold card using many different stamp sets.

Stamps used:  Hero Arts Monthly Hero July 2019, Hero Arts Monthly Hero June 2018, Lawn Fawn "Happy Happy Happy", Sunny Studio "Bold Balloons"

All of the the components were stamped or blended with Gina K inks.

A Trio of Father's Day Cards with Alcohol Inks and Honey Bee Stamps - 2018

I got inky with my alcohol inks and played with colors until I had a few backgrounds that I liked.

Then I cut the top layer of the "Happy" die by Honey Bee Stamps out of gold cardstock and the second layer from velum.

The "Father's Day" is from Lawn Fawn's "Happy Happy Happy" stamp set heat embossed in white on black cardstock.

Father's Day Card with Hero Arts

I started creating this card by first doing some watercolor backgrounds using some handmade watercolors from Aloha Studios that are based here on the Big Island of Hawaii.

It's hard to capture in the photos, but this watercolor has a subtle shimmer to it that is absolutely gorgeous!

Once the background was dry, I die cut it with a Hero Arts Nesting Rectangle.  Then I stamped the deer and tree from the "Color Layering Snowy Tree" stamp set by Hero arts.  I created the ground using my black Copic and the stars using a white gelly roll pen.  I didn't want to cover up any of the scene so I stamped the greeting on the inside.

Thanks for looking!

Father's Day Galaxy Card

I racked my brain trying to come up with a good masculine father's day idea for my step-dad and finally decided on getting out the alcohol inks and trying a technique I saw on YouTube.

After many failed attempts with trying to use foil to add some dimension, I finally got one that I was happy with and just decided to use some white paint to add stars.

Check out Ashlea_Crafts to see the alcohol ink process that I used.

Father's Day with Inkadinkado - 2017

For this card, I used "Winter Wildlife" by Inkadinkado.

I stamped the elk on watercolor paper then covered him with Glossy Accents by Ranger.  I used Distress Ink to do a watercolor sunrise.  Once dry, I peeled away the masking fluid and stamped the sentiment from Lawn Fawn's "Dad + Me".

Father's Day with Altenew - 2017

For this Father's Day card I black heat embossed the sentiment from Altenew's "Best Dad" set on a piece of brushed silver cardstock that I die cut with the Sentiment Label Strip by MFT.

I stacked this on top of a strip of silver cardstock that I embossed with a Darice Diamond Plate embossing folder and then a strip of patterned paper that looked like wood slats.  I glued this to a blue card base and added a couple of embellishments that look like screw heads to complete the card.

Father's Day with Lawn Fawn - 2017

This was a fun little card I put together for my Grandpa for Father's Day!

I used "Dad + Me" by Lawn Fawn.  This time I stamped the bears on kraft cardstock.  Then I water colored a background with Distress Ink and cut it with a stitched rectangle.  I stamped the reeds and the dragonflies directly on the background.  Then I stamped and die cut the pond after adding some fish and Wink of Stella and added it to the background.
