Father's Day

Father's Day...

Through a porthole... Those two cards are another version of the card #300, the hardest part being wrapping the "porthole" part.

Two peaceful scene for a relaxed father's day...

-300-

I used the cricut "Life's a Beach" cartridge for the chair and the sailboat, and used scrap of papers for the background. The cloud is punched with my all time favorite tool, the fiskars clloud punch.

Until next time...

Father's Day sailboat

Father's Day Sailboat.

As i was looking for a sailboat sticker in my stack for the previous card, I fell upon this embellishment I had for age but never used because I was waiting for the right occasion.

Well, today is the day! 

Another father's day card with a sailboat, but this clipper had to steel the focal point.

Nothing should take away from the majesty of this piece.

How about making her sail on one of the seven seas and catching a snapshot?

On a sky blue background, I torn the outlines of the waves out, and added half a lone cloud to counterbalance my one masted schooner.

The embellishment is from Jolee's and I used my Fiskars mini cloud punch.

The sentiment is printed before hand with Architect font.

Here is a second version...

Until next time.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day.

Can you believe that Father's day is just around the corner? 

As much as Mother's day card came naturally to me (flowers, flowers and more flowers..), it was very hard to think of something to case for a Dad.

Until now. 

I was checking a blog in Swedish (nope, I am not fluent in Swedish BUT there is at the top of the blog a very useful "google translate" application that works beautifully.)

Anyhow, pictures need no translation.

Do check that blog, though, you are going to be flabbergasted... believe me...

I (almost) had a blast rolling this cotton thread around a ring made with 

two Nestabilities circles. It took forever, but I like the results.

I added a Jolee sailboat sticker, and cut out some waves in a blue card stock with a scalloped circle punch.

 I also added half a cloud made with my Fiskars cloud punch, with a small sun behind.

The sentiment was printed beforehand. The font is called Architect.

Until next time.

Life is a Beautiful Ride

Life is a Beautiful Ride.

Oh yes, it is... you look back on the years behind you, and funny as a human being is, you only remember the good times.

Better it is this way, or the human race will be extinct... if a woman could just remember the pain of childbirth. Right?

No, what she does remember, is the first time she held her baby in her arm, the first time he smiled, or the first time he handed her a flower he just picked up in the garden.

Yes, life is a beautiful ride. And a fast one too....

I chose to use  Kraft paper and added a stamped sailboat from ITTY BITTY as well l as the stamped sentiment from the same set on white linen.

I added two flower brads and used a stencil and a white marker to draw waves under this sailboat on its wonderful ride....


Here is another version of the same card:

Get well soon.

I added a Papertrey Ink stamped sentiment and a lone wavy line made with a white marker and a stencil.

The sun and the cloud are made with punches.

Until next time.
