DAD

Hello Sweeties!

Donna K here with you today sharing my DAD card.

I was trying to keep my card masculine so I just added a few 

elements and a simple DAD sentiment.

Father's Day will be here before we know it. 

I hope you have your cards ready!

Be sure to join our latest challenge and link up your Dad projects this week!

Scroll down to yesterday's post for the linky.

Have a happy day.

For Dad with Guest Designer Elizabeth Hart

A Sweet welcome to Elizabeth! She will be joining in our June challenges as a Guest Designer. You can check out her creations here on Thursdays!

And now, a little about Elizabeth:

Welcome from Maryland. This is Elizabeth from Warm Harted and I am thrilled to be a guest designer for SweetStamps for the month of the June. This means that I have the opportunity to use the many fabulous stamps and supplies that SweetStamps offers in their on-line store and then show what gorgeous projects you can make with them! This week's challenge theme is: 

For Dad

I used the Gone Fishing Silhouette stamp (6009e).

I chose to make a center stair-step card to prominently highlight this great image.

First, I water colored the background paper then stamped the image in black ink. This was a very simple process but the effect was very dramatic.

I think any Dad, whether they fish or not, would enjoy this card.

Keep Stamping and I'll see you next week.

For Dad with Guest Designer Donna K

A Sweet welcome to Donna K! Donna will be joining in our June challenges as a SweetStamps Guest Designer and you'll be able to see her posts here on Wednesdays!

Hello from Eastern, NC! I am Donna K from Created by Donna K and I am honored to be posting as guest designer today for SweetStamps.

Just a quick note about...ME: I've been creating with paper since about 1999.  I started with scrapbooking and quickly found my way to cards and mini albums, which are my favorite. I love the satisfaction of finishing a project in a short amount of time. (even though some cards have taken me HOURS to complete!)

I am the wife of a retired Marine and mom of three adult children and one spoiled Yorkie. Aside from crafting we spend a lot of time cycling, walking and riding our Harley. 

I came across SweetStamps via Facebook and I'm so happy that I did. I love the precise images of their stamps and have even played with the SweetCuts dies recently and they are just so very fun!

I hope that you will play along with this week's Dad challenge and link up your project for a chance to win some amazing SweetStamp treasures.

Now on to my card...

My Happy Father's Day card features a variety of papers and textures. 

My "goal" was to make the silhouette stamp stand out as if it were a vintage photo. I stamped and heat embossed the image in black. I think it shows up nicely on the aged papers.

I used the following goodies from SweetStamps to create this card:

9011C Happy Father’s Day

6009E Gone Fishin Silhouette

Thank you for stopping by today and thank you so much to Stacey and the talented crew of SweetStamps for having me.

I hope you have a wonderful day today!
