We're celebrating the first part of Father's Day with Sarah, Adam, and Caleb. Later this afternoon we'll be hitting the road home. Matt will get his card tomorrow night, but I don't think he ever reads my blog, so posting it now will make no difference!
All three of these guys are the greatest dads! The love they have for their children is boundless, they spend hours with their kids, and are available for advice and help at any hour! I couldn't be more proud of them.
The first one is for the #1 Dad---that would be Tracy! After forty plus years of marriage, and thirty-five years of parenting together, I can say without a doubt, you'd be hard pressed to find a more devoted and caring dad.
The #1 wood veneer came with a recent purchase from Gossamer Blue. I already had the starred wood veneer frame from Lawn Fawn, and the card didn't need much else beside a strip of black and white paper from the "Black and White All Over" pad by Papertrey.
The next card is for Adam. I recently purchased the Petite Places: City Station stamp set (a bargain at $5) and wanted to play with it. It took a little doing, but I'm happy with the result.
I started by stamping, masking, and cutting out the pick-up trucks to create the little scene. It's pretty tiny so in my scrap dish, I found a piece of Smoky Shadow paper I'd embossed with the Herringbone Impression Plate. It was the perfect size to fit behind the Tag Sale #11 die cut from Pure Poppy. The sentiment was die cut from one of the small dies included with the Center Style: Masculine die set which I just received in my last Papertrey order. The Fog card needed a little texture, so I stamped it with a watermark ink, using the Diagonal Stripe stamp from Simon Says.
Matt's card came together much more quickly.
After cutting the die from True Black and decided on yet another paper from the "Black and White All Over" pad, I needed three stamp sets to complete the sentiment: Winnie and Walter's "The Big, The Bold, and The Happy," "The Big, The Bold, and Party," and Papertrey Ink's "Handy Hardware."
Happy Father's Day to all who are celebrating today!
