Stampin For The Weekend Card - Show Us Your Style

Hi everyone, it’s time for a new challenge over at Stampin for the Weekend!

The theme for this fortnight’s challenge is:

Show Us Your Style!

We are being sponsored by The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop, who is offering the winner 600 Self adhesive pearls in various colours as prize!

Here is my card:

It’s my Dad’s Father’s Day card! Normally girly cards are more my style, but even though this is a masculine card, it’s still my style. I love using ribbon, pearls, Whiff Of Joy images and always distress.

This is the first time I’ve used this image(it’s been lying in my stamp box for a while now!) and I coloured it with the following Copics:

E35, E33 and E53 - For the Mouse’s skin.

R20, R21 and E00 - For his ears, tummy, feet and tail.

B05, B02 and B000 - For his hat.

E37, E35 andE33 - For the log he sits on.

B000, E53 and W3 - For the rocks.

R29, Y15, Y11 and Y00 - For the fire.

W3 - For a shadow around the stamp.

I made a loop with this ribbon and tied it together with a knot and then stuck a pearl on top.

And that same ribbon with the knot and pearl on the inside.

I put a golden corner in the top left corner for a finishing touch.

And a few pearls in some of the other corners.

I hope you like my card! Please hop over to Stampin for the Weekend and see if you can take part in our challenge, there are also some stunning other cards!

A Fathers Day Card - By Danika

Hello every one, happy Friday.

Before I begin, last week Danika also took part in a few challenges with her invitation card.

On her Birthday (Tuesday the 14th) we got an e-mail to inform her she made the top 4 at the Raise The Bar challenge!

They also asked her if she would like to be a Once Off Guest Designer.

Danika said yes!

This week the theme at Raise the Bar is: “What A Special Guy”.

She made the card for my dad.

Here is little Danika’s card (She turned 7 on Tuesday).

She coloured the stamp all by herself. 

Danika also wrote ‘1^st’ on the piece of wood, the boy is holding, because our dad is the Best, or in other words 1^st to us.

Danika also made a pocket for a little note on the card and it is prefect.

On the tag she wrote Pappa (Daddy) in her own hand writing.

Here Danika is punching a hole in the tag to put the ribbon through.

As you can see she loves being a little princess!

The crown on her head she got as a DIY gift on her Birthday.

She wore a lovely princess dress my mom made.

As I already said, Danika turned 7 on Tuesday the 14th of June.

My Mom and I made Danika a set of 7 Pre-cut cards, she can colour and assemble on her own.

 Everything in this present was off-cuts from my card making supplies! 

With these Pre-cut cards, she will now be able to make her own cards on Monday-nights when I make my cards!

She made this Fathers Day Card from one of the Pre-Cut cards.

She also took part in the flowing Challenges:

Crafty Cardmakers - Cards For Men (challenge #23)

Crafts and Me Challenges- Friends and Family (challenge #6)

Cupcake Craft Challenges - One For the Boys (challenge #95)

My Time To Craft - Extra Special (challenge #95)

Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Saturday - Pockets (week #44)

So I hope you like my little sister’s card.

Remember to pop over to Raise the Bar and check out the DT members’ beautiful creations.

Have a blessed weekend

Fathers Day Card for my Dad

Hello everybody. 

My family and I’ve had a very busy week, preparing for Danika and Andrew’s birthday parties.

CJ, my oldest brother and I are also working in my dad’s health shop, because the shop assistance is on holiday.

Danika and I got our ballet costumes’ material that my mom must make for our ballet concert in September.

Some of you may know I just love ballet, and I’ll put some pictures on my blog of the concert.

But, I still had time to make a card for my dad for Fathers Day.

I used the Friday Sketchers Challenge lay out for my card and took part in the flowing challenges:

Friday Sketchers Challenges – lay out (Sketch #105)
One Stitch At A Time - Boys to Men (Challenge #16)
Cupcake Craft Challenge - Dazzle Us (Challenge #94)

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - Father's Day /Men's Cards (challenge 54)

Here is a stunning sketch by Janneke

And here is my card; it is the best ‘Male’ card I’ve made.

I used a Magnolia stamp that I’ve won at a blog hop.

I have never used it before, and it fit prefect with this card!

I put a clock in the upper left corner.

Because my dad is very busy, and still have time for us.

In the right bottom corner my mom made a lovely bow.

I wrote a sentiment in the upper right corner.

I also distressed everything with a thick layer of brown distress to give it an old look.

I hope your Fathers Day cards are also finished or nearly finished.
