Father's Day Cards

Hi,

My Dad loves to spend most of his time in the shed and loves new tools, he asked for new Drill Bits for Father's Day. Last time I was in his shed he had a huge pile of screws & nuts & bolts everywhere. Thus, when I saw this card I just had to make it for Mum to give him as a Father's Day card.
Here is my version. I covered it in the nuts & bolts stamp from 'Lots of Bots' in homage to his shed LOL.

And the inside, which uses the tool images, without the text, from 'Totally Tool'.

Next, I made Dad a card featuring a Punch Art VW Beetle that I CASEd from here. Dad had a Beetle in his youth and has an affection for them. I used the Wide Oval, Large & small Ovals, Horizontal Slot, Word Window and Scallop Circle (cut down for the tires) punches. The headlights are made from a Build-a-Brad with no image glued to the backing. Dad seemed quite chuffed with both cards.

I'll be back soon with yet more birthday cards. What's with the July-September birthday madness??? I need to go hang out my washing (yes, excitement plus), clean my house (more excitement), make some body butter (at last some fun) & make a Christening gift & card (yeah, more fun).

Have a great day,

Peas in a Pod

Hi Again,

One of my workmates gave birth to gorgeous twins last week, Angus & Stella. I wanted to make a cute pea card & found a great tutorial here by the fabulous Andrea Walford. I wanted to make two peas for the twins. I called it '2 peas in a Pod' although, really, it is several peas in 2 pods. Oh well, can't let accuracy rule over creativity LOL.

Enough rambling, here's my card:

I've used Certainly Celery CS for the peas, sponging the edges with Old Olive ink. The faces are Blush Blossom CS sponged with Rose Red ink. You use the Wide Oval and 3/4" punches. The background image is the flourish from Baroque Motifs. I've used Flower Fusion felt flowers & silver Vintage Brads. The sentiment was done on the computer. If you go to this blog, you can access all the RGB values required to print SU colours, way cool! I hope Angela likes the crad, just need to buy a gift now to go with it.

Have a great day,

Cheers,
