Kristina Werner CASE
Filed Under Cards, Fathers Day | 1 Comment
I lovethis card by Kristina Werner. I knew that it would make for the perfect card for my husband for Fathers Day. My husband isn’t into golf, or grilling, or tools. He doesn’t wear ties. So I was stumped on his card. But, duh!!!! He loves his kids! So their cute faces need to be on the front of the card. What do you think?
The paper I used is from Making Memories, Noteworthy line. The chipboard is from Stampin’ Up! and I inked it up with Chocolate Chip ink. I punched a hole in the card and tied the card shut with some chocolate Chip ribbon. The finished card size is 4×4.

Simple and Masculine
Filed Under Cards, Copics, Fathers Day, Taylored Expressions | Leave a Comment
I LOVE to make smple cards. But I always struggle with making masculine cards. Almost all of my stamps are floral sets and I am addicted to ribbon and buttons! So making Father’s Day cards is always a huge challenge for me.
This is a super simple card that I made for my Father-In-Law using the set Boys Will Be Boys by Taylored Expressions. I just stamped the image on Kraft cardstock and colored it with my Copic markers. The white layer on the card was run through my Big Shot with one of the texture plates from Stampin’ Up!
I am taking a picture of the card I made for my hubby right now. I will schedule it for tomorrow. Promise!!!!
Today the kids have swim lessons, then swimming in the back yard. In the afternoon we are going to do a craft together and hopefully work on writing their names. I am so happy to have my hubby home today. Maybe I will be able to sneak a little stamping time in! Have a great Monday!!!

I love to CASE cards from other talented stampers! I spend way too much time in blog land and when I find something that inspires me- I usually pick up the stamp right away and run with it. Sometimes it is an almost exact replica when I finish. And other times it looks nothing like the original.
Today I have 2 cards for you that I cased from Andrea Walford. And I think she CASED here card from one in a magazine! I cased tha layout but used different papers and stamps. And since I likes the layout so much- I picked some more paper and stamps and made a second card!
I love how masculine this card turned out. I never have any masculine cards handy. And this would be a great Father’s Day card, don’t ya think? So I went ahead and made 2 of this one!
Here is the same layout with different papers and stamps. Sorry the sentiment looks so yucky. Need to re-ink my Old Olive pad I guess. It is also hard to tell in this pic, but the white is dry embossed with the dots!

Today my hubby and I are taking the kids to go see Horten Hears a Who. I don’t know why- but I love that movie! So I am excited. Nothing like buttery popcorn and M&Ms for breakfast!!! Then after the movie, the three older kids have a singing class with Parks and Rec. They are thrilled about it!
So I am taking a bit of a risk showing you this card today. See I always tell my friends to check out my blog. But I don’t think my non-stamping friends really look!!! So I am showing you a Father’s Day card that I made for one of my bestest friends. We’ll see if he listens to me!!!
