Father's Day Card

 

I won a contest on NSD at Pumpkin Spice and got to choose a prize!  How fun is that!  I chose the Happiest Moments stamp set by My Pink Stamper from their store here.  I love it and can I say that they had SUPER fast shipping!  Wow.  Love that!  They had some wonderful items in their store, but because I don't have many stamps, I chose this set because it covers the basic holidays.  I have to start somewhere!  LOL.   I'm picturing Valentine's Day cards, Easter goody bags, Halloween treats etc. with this stamp set! The asked me to create a project with the prize I won, so I decided to make a Father's Day Card since it is fast approaching.  Masculine cards are the hardest for me but....I like how this one turned out.  I had such fun doing easel cards for Mother's Day that I decided to do another one for Father's Day.  I still need to make my Father-in-Law a card but at least I have one ready to go and it's not last minute!  Hope you like it!  The pocket cut is from a freebie file from Designs on Cloud 9 that she shared a while ago.  I think it works great for a manly card!

FIL Father's Day Card

This is a card that I made scraplifting an idea from Lisa.  Here card is shown below.
 

Here is Lisa's Card that I scraplifted the pocket idea from.  Cute huh!

Since Father's Day is just around the corner, I decided to make my FIL a card and followed a sketch from a challenge at Scrapping Bug Designs.   I scraplifted the idea of the pocket on the card from Lisa Juracek.  Unfortunately, I can't find her "blog" or where I got this so....here is the picture of her card  anyway.  My FIL loves to garden so I took the little tools from the Home Grown with Love set from Scrapping Bug Designs and made this easel Father's Day card.  I hope he likes it.  I have a hard time with masculine cards but I don't think it looks girly so I should be ok!  :-)
