Top Pop Dad’s Day Card

Hi crafty friends,
I hope you’re having a great day. I am sharing another fun, quick and easy father’s day card.
GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here’s a look at my completed card. The finished size is 5 x 6.5. I started with a black cardstock base. I used the Top Pop card cut file from PaperCraftingWorld.com. I cut the wavy base from some blue bazzill cardstock. The star patterned paper and the red striped pattern paper are from the DCWV School Days stack. I created the top pop can and the ticket with the You’re the sentiment. It’s supposed to be a pun or play on the word pop for good o’l dad.

I wove some blue polka dot ribbon through the frame and tied a bow.

I wrapped the ribbon around the polka dot ribbon. Here you can see the side top pop title cut out.

Here’s a closer look at the sentiment ticket I created. I used my print then cut feature on my Pazzles.

Here is a view of the card slightly opened. I used some foam tape to give some of the cans a little lift.

Supplies Used
PCW Top Pop Cut File Set
DCWV School Days Stack

Father’s Day Card with Pazzles, DCWV Papers & PCW SVG’s

Hello crafty friends,
Today I am sharing another Father’s day card I recently created. So let’s get right to it.
GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here is a look at the finished card. The finished size is approximately 5 x 6.5. I started with a black cardstock base. I used my Pazzles software to create the base with that really cool edge.

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
I also used that same edge to create the outer layer of the hearts. The Pazzles software makes it really easy to do this. I shortened the top layer of the card so the heart cut out would really pop.

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here’s a closer look at the cool heart die cuts I created. They have several cogs in them. I really liked the design of this. As I was creating it, I thought how much the heart is like this….emotionally, physically and spiritually. A lot of moving pieces that comprise the sum total of a heart. I also thought of how much Father’s play a part in developing and nurturing the moving pieces in their children’s hearts.

Here is a picture showing how I started with a plain white cardstock and then embossed them with Gold, Copper and Moonstone embossing powder.

Here’s a closer look at the father’s day sentiment. I used the Holidays Tags Outlines stamp set and my black inkpad. Both the sentiment and the circle stamp are in this set. I used my circle punch to punch out the circle. I used a little foam tape to give it a little lift. I then used a strip of some bronze shimmer trim to wrap around the mat. The mat is paper from the DCWV Textures and finishes stack. I used some Saddle ink to ink the edges of the mat.

Here’s a view of the card slightly opened. I used the same DCWV textures and finishes stack paper for the inside mat.

Here is one last look at the completed card. With the SVG card set from PCW it came together very easily.

Fishing Gift Box, Card And Freebie

Hello crafty friends,
Today I am sharing a super cute gift box and card set. I created it for my Pazzles design team assignment. This week is Masculine Week and they are sharing some fun projects to inspire you for the “men in your life”
svg-fishing box-vest-card-650   

fishing-box-650
To start with, I selected the Gable Box cut file from the Pazzles craft room. I used some sturdy Blue Bazzill cardstock for the structure of the box. I then added some fishing themed patterned paper from Karen Foster.
GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
To decorate the box I used the MK Gone fishing title. I also used the fishing pole file. It came together very easily. For the pole, I cut it out in white cardstock. I used my silver metallic marker for the hook and my gold marker for the fishing reel. I cut the fishing title out of kraft cardstock and the other pieces out of corresponding colored cardstock.

For the fishing vest card, I created the card outline. I used some brown Bazzill cardstock. I then used the same Karen Foster paper and cut out the outlines.

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
I used my Pazzles Pen tool to add the stitching with my black fine tip pen. I used my pen tool to add the pen stitching. I added some buttons and a couple of die cuts in the pockets.

On the inside I added a fish pole and a couple of fishes from the Father's Day fishing pole fishes. I used some more of the Karen Foster patterned paper and my Pen tool to do the stitching. I also used my Versamarker pen for the highlights on my fishes. I also used some Brown ink to ink the edges of the pieces. This is a perfect set for your Father’s Day or Masculine Birthday celebration!
