Happy Father's Day Card

 So are you ready for Father's day? Or need an idea for a male inspired card?

I have one for you today!

Using the colour challenge over at Paper Craft Crew Challenges. 

I have a house full of boys and so when I saw the Handsomely Suited Bundle in the spring catalgoue, I just knew I had to have it!  The card I am sharing today is about the 7th different styled cards I have made with this bundle.  You can see the other cards I have made with this bundle here. 

Today's card matches the colour challenge, using Basic Black, Basic White, Basic Grey and blue with the Well Suited DSP.

Don't you just love these little bow ties?!  They are so cute.  I love that you can pop up that center when you use the DSP.  I framed them using the Scalloped Contour dies.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Happy stampin'

Handsomely Suited Father's Day

 Hello and happy Monday,

I hope you had a great weekend.  It was hot here again - well hot for Ontario, it felt like 36 degrees.  That is hot enough for me.

Do you have your Father's Day cards ready yet? June is such a busy month in this house with 3 birthdays, Father's Day and this year 2 graduations!  It needed to work way ahead.  ;)

Here is one of the cards I made for Father's day, I want to submit for the challenge over at TGIF Challenges.

If you are like me and need ideas for male style cards, you will want to get the Handsomely Suited bundle from the Mini Catalogue.  That is what I used for my card today.

I just love the ties these dies provide, a great neck tie with 2 patterns in the stamps as well as 2 bow tie style dies.  Super cute!  

I used the Well Suited DSP pack to help with choosing the colours I used.  Night of Navy, Basic White and Basic Grey.  I used my Stampin' Blends to colour these ties.  

I framed these ties using the Scalloped Contour Dies from the new Annual Catalgoue. 

Be sure to stop over at TGIF Challenges to see of the creations using this fun colour combination.   

Happy Stampin'

By the Dock

Hey there!

Are you ready for a couple of Sun Fun inspired cards?  How about two using the same products but just a little different and for different occasions?

I have tapped into the Global Design Projects challenge this week to share with you two cards that I made using By the Dock stampset and coordinating Dockside Dies.

Here are my two cards.  One is an easel style card.  Both use the same colours Night of Navy card base, Whisper White as a border and Balmy Blue for the scene background.  

I stamped all images in Whisper White and coloured them in with my Stampin' Blends!  My favourite colouring tool!  I used Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Old Olive.  To this one, I added many cut out paddles on the card base to give it some dimension.  The greeting is from By the Dock Stampset and then I fussy cut around the edges. 

This one is a landscape layout using the same products, I just used two of the shore line stamp to make it go all the way along.

My greeting is from Word Wishes Dies - I just love these.  If you are a scrapbooker these are a must in your collection.  

This is my husband's father's day card, he is the hero to all three of our boys.  The inside is from A Wish for Everything.

This maybe the closest we get to the lake this year with COVID, but we are making the best of it.

Camping Father's Day Card

Hey there,

This week is all about celebrating the dads in our lives.  I wanted to share 2 cards I have created with a camping theme!  I have the great pleasure of creating cards for a couple who ask me to make many cards each month and these cards were created for them to give.

The first card was was all about the campfire!  I used the retired Great Outdoors stampset.  If you have this in your stash, this is a great one to use for the dad who loves to camp. 

I used the campfire and camp chair.  I stamped them in Memento Ink and then coloured them with my blends.  They are framed with the Rectangle Stitched dies.  

My next camping card is created all with die cuts from the Outdoor Adventure Dies.

I just love the little scenes that these little dies create especially the little snow caps for the mountains.

Happy Father's Day with TGIF!

Hello everyone,

Are you ready for father's day?  We will be celebrating from a distance this year with COVID restrictions still in place  But what better way to do that, than to send a card!

I am a very luck person who get's to celebrate many dad's, I have two of my own, my husband and my father-in-law!  Lots of cards to create - I love it.

So, I have pulled out some old favourites to create them.  Here is the first one to share with you.

Over at TGIF Challenges, they have a neat challenge this week and that is to trim down the front panel to reveal the inside.  Awesome reminder - this is a fun way to mix it up a little. 

Here is the card I made.

My dad who lives down east, in New Brunswick to be exact, is all too familiar with moose.  They have so many there!  So I wanted to use the stampset from years ago called Walk in the Wild.

This big guy was stamped in Memento Ink and coloured using my Stampin' Blends.  Soft Suede and Crumb Cake for his antlers.

Here is a view from the top.  A simple fun fold card where you fold the front of the card back onto itself. 

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope this has inspired you to pull out some of your old favourites too.  

Happy Stampin'

Happy Father's Day with Mojo Monday

Well hi there,

Are you all ready for Father's Day?  I am half way there.  I have mailed my card to my dad in New Brunswick and have started quizzing my kids about what they want to get for my husband. The boys in my house really aren't that great at planning ahead!  ;)

To celebrate Father's Day I wanted to create a card of course!  So I hoped on over to Mojo Monday and their challenge this week ( MOJO452) as a really great sketch to follow!

Don't you just love the detail in this sketch?  So much fun! 


So I thought I would use up some of my retired DSP and particularly the Go Wild stack from the previous Annual Catalogue.


Here is my card....

 
I wanted to be sure to use one of my newest favs from the new catalogue as well - can you see it?  It's the Thoughtful Banners stampset with coordinating punch (Duet Banner Punch)!  Can you say millions of possibilities?  Squeal!


The other stampset I used on this card is Watercolour Words!  Not sure why it took my so long to get this set, but oh so happy it made it back to the new annual catalogue.


Be sure to stop on over to Mojo Monday to get some more inspiration!


Happy Stampin'

Happy Father's Day with Roger's Daytime TV!

Hello there,

Happy Father's Day!  I hope you are enjoying today and celebrating of the wonderful dad's in your life. 

Today, I wanted to show you pictures from my recent Roger's Daytime TV show celebrating Father's Day.

I had SO much fun with Will Nash (host) and his dad and Melanie Case (host) and the other wonderful guests on the show.  We had a fabulous BBQ with ribs and lots of grilled veggies, there was a massage therapist and a golf pro and me with Stampin'UP!  What a great pre-father's day celebration they had - food, fun and a home made card! 

Here are the pictures of the projects that I made as well as the display I had for the show!

 Here is the scrapbook page I made using the Hello You Thinlits and Star Framelits

Three different sized gift bags using the new Gift Bag Punch Board.  We actually made one live of air.
 

Finally, some treat bags of course!
 

Wishing you and yours a Happy Father's Day

Be sure to stop back by tomorrow when I have some VERY exciting news to share with you!

World's Greatest Dad, Mojo Monday Style

Hey there,

Forgive me for being a bit late on my posts this week.....June is SUCH a busy moth for me!  All three of my boys celebrate their birthdays, in Ontario school ends (teacher gifts, bus driver gifts - you get the idea) and last but not least.....Father's Day!  And, I am a lucky girl who get's to celebrate two wonderful father's of my own as well as a terrific Husband and Father-in-law!  Lots of celebrating this month at my house.

To help with all of this gift giving, I went on over to Mojo Monday (MOJO401) - well actually, I am a subscriber to their e-mails, so their ideas land right in my inbox - and got some great card layout inkspiration so to speak  ;)

Here is my card....

And here is the sketch layout.....

So, how did I do?

There were a few things I knew I wanted to use for this card - the Guy Greeting Stampset  that was carried over to the new Annual Catalogue (yah) as well as the new ultra lightweight DSP from the new Annual Catalogue - perfect for adding to a card.  All of the dads in my life are very mechanical, so I was so happy to see the tools in this stampset.  Now, just to decide which dad to give it to.  lol

Happy Stampin'!

Father's Day with Rogers

Hello there my stampin' friends!  Thank you for stopping by!

 

I has been a little bit since my last post, but I think I have everything under control for now! 

 

 June is a really busy month for the Gill household...like most people in Ontario, there is the end of the school year which means teacher and bus driver thank yous are being created and delivered, summer plans to be made, Father's day celebrations and for me all three of my children have birthday's this month too! 

 

Although it is always SO much fun to celebrate their birthday's you begin to look like a cake by the end of it all! 

 

Something else that has kept me busy, is I have had a second appearance on the Roger's Daytime TV show!  This time was a father's day theme!  I had SO much fun playing with some new tools and products from the new Stampin'Up! catalogue!  I just LOVE getting some new things for my stamp space!

 

Here are some pictures of my display..

 

 

I got the new Star Framelits!  They are awesome for a mom with boys in hockey!  Perfect for some scapbooking pages, birthday and thank you cards!

 

 

I took my colour cue from the DSP Maritime fun - Red, White and Blue, a real classic.  I added some Crumb Cake to give another base color to work with.

 

I used the Sea Street Stamp set and the DSP to make one of the cards I had on display.

 

I used the Star Framelits and my Mini Star Punch to make this card - we made this one live on TV as well.  Do you see that?  The new catalogue in the background?

 

I also made a card using the new Time Travel Stampset with a calmer feel.  The greeting on all of my projects is from the new set called And Many More - every greeting you can think of is in this set!

 

I couldn't resist getting the Mustache framelit and making some fun mustaches.  We opened my segments with them - my kids loved them too!

 

We finished the show by making a treat holder using the new Hamburger Big Z die!  Oh my!  What a great little box!  I finished it off with some DSP and a paper bow using the Bow Big Die.  The tag is a part of the Hamburger die! 

 

As always it is really fun to see everyone at Roger's!  Thank you to Deanne, the producer and to Melanie and Alex, the two wonderfully talented hosts for a great season!  Enjoy the summer break!

 

I hope my pictures helped with some summer time inspiration!
