Cards for Wonderful Guys...and One More Father's Day Card

My guy-card stash was almost non-existent...

so while I've had guy-ish stamps and dies out to make Father's Day cards

I thought that I'd also create some generic guy-friendly cards to replenish my stash.

Before I finished up this years Father's Day card making...and moved one to the generic guy cards...

I HAD to create a few cards with a beautiful Papertrey Ink sentient that I've had for a while.

I've never used this sentiment before....

(Papertrey Ink:Tucked In ~ Father's Day Stamp Set)

I forgot to use it last year...

and didn't want it to be neglected for another year...until Father's Day rolled around again.

So while I was die cutting the golf balls and tees....

(Taylored Expressions: Golf Ball & Tee)

I cut a few extra for the Father's Day cards

This is a very CAS card...

but it has depth (the framed shadow box look)

and texture (the brown woodgrain card stock and embossed golf ball detail)

 and a little bit of shimmer (from the metallic card stock)

I hand cut the sentiment banner..

and used the background green metallic card stock to mat the banner.

I used a Spellbinders rectangle die to create the window in the woodgrain card stock .

And now...

after making a few of this card...

I can say that Father's Day card making is officially over for this year, in my studio!

When the Father's Day cards were done..

I began creating the all occasion guy cards that I originally sat down to create...

(Before side-tracking myself with the Father's Day cards.)

Here they are...showing off... in their own private little photo shoot...

For each of the 4 cards below....

I used the same material...elements..card stock...sketch etc...

and..

I used Inky Antics Magnificent Men stamp set for each of the sentiments.

(I LOVE this stamp set!...It's so versatile!...Lots and lots of mix-n-match options) 

First up....

A "brother" card

I really like the sentients that I used..

They allow the cards to be used for many occasions...

Birthday...and beyond.

and..."Father"

"Grandfather"

and...

last but not least...

a card for a wonderful "Husband"

I love this Inky Antics stamp set because it can be used on so many cards...

for the different men in your life..

and also for different occasions

(It includes Happy Birthday...Thank You...Father's Day....

and a bunch more specialized sentiments.)

I've always enjoyed creating multiples of cards...making them similar...but different...

This grouping of cards was one of those cards.

The same card...

but made a bit different..

Thanks to a few wonderful stamp sets!

Thanks for visiting today my craft and creative friends!

Have a wonderful day!
