Super Dad Father's Day card (Kenny K sentiment)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this card for my hubby for Father's Day from our kids, yes they should have made one themselves but I guess because it's my hobby they always leave it to me! I used a gorgeous sentiment stamp from Kenny K but I think they may have closed down now sadly. I used black cardstock and die cut some stars out of it and then glued in yellow and red stars so some are flat on the card and some are stuck on top of the black cardstock (if that makes sense hehe??) I coloured in the image and I printed it out in blue.

The Wallpaper and Painter Guy Birthday card (Dr Digi image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I was totally inspired by this image from Dr Digi's to create a scene where's he's scruffily putting up wallpaper. I had seen a similar type card ages ago on Pinterest and it's always been on my mind to have a go myself. 

Once I'd finished my card I showed my husband and mentioned how I'd cut wood designer paper into strips, inked them to make them look like floorboards - he asked me did I cut them in different widths so that the "closest" floorboard was much bigger than the "back" floorboard - Well how clever is he!?! Now that he's said it I just keep thinking how I needed to do that to give it a more realistic look, next time lol. I used some liquid pearls for the "paint".



I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Brown Sugar - anything goes
Catch the Bug - the fast and the furious 
C.R.A.F.T. - inspired by a film - The Money Pit

Not Just Cards - summer challenge anything goes 
Polkadoodles - anything goes wk 22
Ribbon Girl - June card challenge 
Simon Says Stamp (Mon) - masculine

Skinny Dad's BBQ card (Bugaboo image)

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well and enjoying some sunshine. We just had Father's Day over here so I have a Dad card to show you today. My dad is tall and slim and loves a BBQ (we're Aussies) so this suited him to a T!! Is it T or tea hehe, while typing it I realised I'm really not sure. If you're from other countries you probably think I have terrible spelling but here in Oz we spell things differently hehe - like realise, colour, centre etc.

Anyway I digressed lol back to my card and I used an image from Bugaboo and the fence is from Flourish with a Bling. I used chipboard banners from Scrapmatts and covered them with patterned paper and added the lettering.  This is a pretty CAS card for me but I'm not sure my dad would like it too fussy.
