Best Dad. Ever.

May 8, 2018 by Nanette

Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop! This month’s theme is “Masculine.”

If you’ve been following me for awhile, you know that I have probably never even posted a masculine card. I don’t know… Maybe once. It’s not that I don’t enjoy them, because I thoroughly enjoyed making this one. I think it’s because, in some areas, I simply lack imagination 🙂 However, If I do say so myself, I think this one turned out pretty cute!

For the leafy background, I used the new paper that just came out by Stampin’ Up from the Share What You Love Gotta Have it All Bundle. I’m sure you already have a great piece of patterned paper in your own stash 🙂 The stamp and die set is from their Apron of Love Bundle. Look how versatile it is! It can be used for men, women, and multiple occasions…

I used black cardstock with all the die-cuts, except for the BBQ utensils, which were die-cut on Silver Foil Cardstock. I used a Sakura Decorese White Pen to make faux stitching on the apron, pocket, and mitt.

The banner was just a hand-cut piece of black scrap cardstock. On it and the apron, I stamped sentiments with Versamark and then heat embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. I used a red marker to color the little heart on the chest of the apron.

I layered and adhered all my pieces using adhesive and Dimensionals. The strip of burlap is Stampin’ Up’s Burlap Ribbon.

(Supplies are listed at the bottom of this post).

    It is a cute card, Nannette. I don’t have that stamp set, but your card is making me re-think getting it. Dad is sure to love it.
