Father's Day club card

I always like to make cards that demonstrate how a certain stamp set can be used for another theme than they were intended for.  I saw this card in an email and knew I wanted to replicate it.  It uses the stamp set Something for Baby, but not for a baby card, but for Father's Day.  you could use it for a masculine birthday also.  

STAMPS: Something for Baby, Really Good Greetings
COLORS: Hello Honey, Mossy Meadow, Marina Mist
ACCESSORIES:  Hello Honey 3/8" satin ribbon, tag topper scalloped punch

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all those dads everywhere!  I miss by dad terribly, as he passed away 12 years ago.  He is in my heart and I am grateful for the lessons I learned from him while he was alive.  In tribute to all those wonderful dads everywhere I share some of my My Digital Studio creations which have been given as gifts today to some pretty awesome dads!  The card at the top of the blog is one I made to send a few years ago to all the dads in my family; brothers, and uncles.  It was fun to reach out to all of them!

This next item is a fun, personalized gift for the dad in your life!

This one is for all those "SUPER" dads!  I hope you are spoiled and given the love you deserve.

Happy Fathers Day! (ok - so I'm a bit late)

I had some fun times making Father's Day cards.  I had one for the club members to make, but when it came right down to it, I wanted to make Mike a different one - sooooo here is the one I gave him.

it uses the stamp set Tool Time. I finally broke down and bought this set - I have eyed it for a while now (like 2 years) but remembered this fun card I have seen MANY places online and knew the time had come to buy it.  The letter 'a' is from a retired alphabet set and the "lucky you" quote is from another retired hostess set Afterthoughts.

Mike enjoyed his pampereing day- the kids got together and bought him a mini donut maker and he was showered with a HEART attack - REAL style- about 80 donuts!  The kids had me make mike his own heart attack card too - he has put that somewhere safe and since I forgot to take a photo of THAT card, I'll hunt and try to post it later.  

May club day 2 -

The next 2 cards were both from new items in the Summer Mini Catalog.  We had to have a Father's Day card ready for the men in our lives, so I used the new set Best Dad Ever and made a Joy fold card.  The ladies loved the look and the simplicity!

The colors we used were Not quite Navy, Garden Green and More Mustard.  I had them color the ties individually as they are all on one stamp, then we used a sentiment from Oval All and added a bit of texture to the front left flap with the Perfect Polka Dots impressions folder.

The last card from the Summer Mini catalog featured the striking set The Open Sea.  I am so driven to this set - Stampin' Up!  really hit the mark with this set!  I CASE'd this one from the mini catalog - thanks designers!

The colors on this one were inspired by the Designer Paper Nautical Expedition.  Not Quite Navy and Cherry Cobbler.  I think this card may be the graduation cards for all the graduates in my life this year!  (well, I thought they might - but haven't gotten them out yet!)  The greeting was from Word Play again!  I also used the Postage Stamp punch - NEW FABULOUS punch!
