Happy Father's Day!

Well, this is what my dad is getting on Sunday- a card full of veggies!
I started work on it at the Retreat-where I could go through loads of stamp sets experimenting with the ones that look like foliage and veg.
I'm quite please with the cauliflower-cabbage type thing on the bottom row (who could tell it was a flower from Everything Eleanor?!)

I took the idea and layout from a card I saw on the Marks & Spencer website!

I am quite proud of this card, so have decided to enter it into Make My Monday's competition: Father's Day/Masculine cards.




Here's the card with the different stamp sets used

Bird punch box and cards set

I've got a little thing for making 3x3" cards at the moment, I love making them, and they may lovely presents too-when popped in a box and this time I even made the envelopes too!

The dsp pattened paper is retired i'm afraid, but the bird punch isn't, nor the word window punch. I even made multiple stickers using the 'Teeny Tiny wishes' stamp set that will fit nicely into the word window -so the cards can be made up for any occasion.

Man card!

Cards for men are often tricky, but I sat down and had a go for Stampin Royalty's challenge this week: Masculine Cards!

I used the Happy Birthday Sentiment from "Happiest Birthday Wishes"- a hostess set from SU! and last year's sale-a-bration "punch bunch" square scallop stamp with the matching punch.

I pretty much relied on  my Stamp-a-ma-jig to get the stamp in the correct place for the repeat pattern.

To finish it off I added another bit of red at the bottom which I also punched with the scallop edge border punch.

Enjoy!
