Card of the Week at Robyn's Fetish!

My Daisy Days anniversary card was featured as the card of the week at Robyn's Fetish (IDIC!)  What an honor! Check it out!

Steampunk Birthday Card

I've had Lady Victoria by Kenny K in my files for eons now and I've kinda forgotten about her... until one of my friends asked me if I knew what "steampunk" was last week! LOL! It instantly made me want to her color her and put her on a card and think of all things steampunk!

Lots of distressing with my Tim Holtz distressing tool, ink and stamp by SU, gold embossing powder (birthday stamp, polka dots stamped on background), torn lace, staples, brad, and grommet eyelet.  The cajun colored piece also has flocked circles.  And hooray, all of these papers were in my scrap stash! 

Inked her up with Copics.  Added Crystal effects to her boots, her goggles, and the "glass piece" on her cane.

New Challenge at Party Time Tuesday - All Things Mechanical

There's a new challenge over at PTT! Our theme this week is "All Things Mechanical."  We are generously sponsored this week by The Robin's Nest (who mailed the DT some yummy papers and embellies, including lots of Dew Drops!), The Stamping Boutique, and Robyn's Fetish.

Here's my project using a digi from The Stamping Boutique:

Inked the image up with Copics.  Background paper and dew drop headlights by The Robin's Nest.  Cardstock by SU.

I wanted to add something stationery-like that was a little on the masculine side to my Etsy shop, so I turned this into a notepad holder. :)

One Stitch at a Time - Man

Moving Along With The Times - No cards

Can't wait to see what you guys create! :)

Simple Stampin Up Father's Day Cards

I've been having a hard time sleeping lately.  I go to sleep super, super late and then I wake up super, super late.  It messes everything up!  I really need to keep busy during the summer so this doesn't happen, because my body goes a little haywire when I'm not at work.  Any falling asleep tricks you guys have?

Anywho, all these masculine card challenges made me realize that I better get crackin' on Father's Day cards!  While in my zombie-insomniac stage last night, I whipped a bunch of these cards up using my scraps.  My pile is getting a bit too robust for my liking...

Used my stamp-a-ma-jig to keep the owls neatly in a row.  And LOVE the new foam stamp pads!  No more arm cramps just to get some decent coverage!  The owl is from a retired set and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  In clear mount!  I've been holding off getting the wood mount and I'm glad I did!  The new catalog features every stamp set in clear mount now (as well as wood mount)! Yippee!

Here's another one with different scrap paper.  Sorry about the kitty cat eyeball in the background.

He didn't wanna move from his chair arm!  He was digging the Hello Kitty blanket pillow and the husband's first aid kit as an arm rest.  Spoiled kitty.

Kaboodle Doodle - All Manly Men

Love to Create - Special Guy in your Life

Clear it Out - Father's Day

Penny's Paper Crafty - I Love you Dad

Ice Cream Graduation

A friend's little sister graduated from high school recently and I needed a card to house a Cold Stone gift card.  Here's what I came up with:

Used the SU bird punch, ribbon, and card stock.  The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms.  Lol, the husband had to help me tie off the little diploma.  I couldn't do it on my own! He held and I tied.

Used the retired SU slit punch to hold the gift card.  Then hand wrote the sentiments. 

Entering this in the following challenges:

The Ribbon Girls - Ribbon

The Shabby Tea Room - Teal, pink, brown

Krafty Girls - Mission Impossible (the husband had to help me tie the little diploma!)

Little Miss Muffet - Rainbows, clouds, or wings

'Till next time!
