Hey Dad

With Father's Day approaching, I thought it was time to make a card for my husband from the cats. We currently have two cats, Catapult and Velcro.  We lost our beloved Peevey 15 years ago, but I thought he needed to be part of the card. I wanted more masculine paper, so I pulled a very old My Mind's Eye paper pad--Adventure. The colors and patterns make for a great "manly" vibe. I then die cut the striped paper with a die from Newton's Nook Designs-Frame & Flags die set. I cut a small piece using the blue paper. I added a cream trim to separate the carpet and the wall. I then stamped the TV set from a beloved stamp set by Paper Smooches--Boob Tubes. I then did some masking and stamped the little kittens from Lawn Fawn's Happy Couple stamp set. I then stamped the kitty from Lawn Fawn's Keep on Swimming stamp set.  I colored with Copic markers and did some fussy cutting. As I arranged things, I felt that the "room" was missing, so I pulled out Newton's Nook Designs Cozy Home stamp set. I stamped the little table and the vase, colored, and fussy cut.  I arranged everything and adhered to the panel.  I then cut the wood panel strip and added it to the card base before adding the panel.  My final touch was stamping the sentiment from the Boob Tubes stamp set.  I think this is going to make a wonderful Dad's Day card!

For my card this week, I created a distressed background. I then die cut a lattice using the  Lattice die. I adhered the lattice to the background. I stamped and colored the Easter image from the Newton's Easter Basket stamp set. I used my Scan 'n' Cut to cut it out, but a coordinating die is available. I used adhesive foam to adhere. I stamped the sentiment and mounted it to an orange glitter scrap from the Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment. I added a trio of gems to the lattice for a bit of glam. That's it. I really like how this card turned out, and I am finally getting better at distressing card backgrounds!  Yippee!

I hope I've inspired you to come join us!

This card is for my hubby who has his very own music room where he enjoys his vinyl collection. The stamp set is by Paper Smooches-BeBoppin.  I arranged the stamps on my Mini Misti.  I stamped on one corner. Then turned my paper and stamped the opposite corner.  I love the mirror image. I then stamped the sentiment.  I added a black border and placed on a green card base for a pop of color.  Super CAS, but I think it's perfect for a masculine birthday!

Challenges for this card:

I was inspired by the black, white, vinyl, and musical notes on this list.
