For Father's Day


Father's Day is less than two weeks away, so it is time to hurry and place your order so you can get to stamping!  For today's project I used a couple of sets from our Michigan series and several scriptures from a couple of our other stamp sets to make a card for my Yooper husband.   And I have to say...I sure do miss my dad!  ❤️

This project has hardly any coloring at all and even with all its different papers, stamps and die-cuts, was really quick to make.  I loved combining all these masculine prints (one from Scorched Wood and three from Metal Textures, including that cool steel tire tread pattern)...they work so well together.  


Here's a closer look at the Edmund Fitzgerald, stamped on texture printed paper with no coloring at all.  The only coloring on the entire card is the ship's wheel which has a very little bit of Copic brown.    


This fold is just a 4.25 x 11 inch piece of card stock scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2 inches. 


This is a peek at the underside of that circle that's adhered to the front and the center panel next to it.  I added scraps of some mappy paper from a discontinued pad that looks much like Vintage Emporium (I need to order that one!).  I wanted to include this "Train up a child" verse on this card as it is so perfect for a Father's Day card, so I stamped it onto another piece of that scraped metal texture paper that the ship was stamped and die cut from.  (I love that this fun fold gives lots of extra space for more stamps or designer prints).  


When the card is closed, the tags and little Father's Day sentiment are hidden, but when it is opened they are in full view.  


Here's a closer look at the tags.
