Happy dad's day

Good afternoon!! I thought I would get a head start on some cards...I am so over doing Christmas cards :)

I have a masculine card to share today.....not the easiest to make!!

I pulled out the most masculine Hero Arts stamps I had and tried to make it work! Shari Carrol has an amazing video on making pocket cards. You can check it out HERE.  I have never made one before, so I thought I would give it a go! Here is my pocket card:

Here is a pic of the inside....Of course it has a Tim Horton's card...I am sure you all know...Here in Canada we LOVE our Timmy's :)

Here is the wood block from Hero Arts that I used...an oldie but a goody :) S5141 Four Leaf Grid...works great for manly cards  too :)

I am going to enter this card into Ellen Hutson CLASSroom challenge Ellen Hutson LLC Hero Arts Wood Take 'n Make to use a wood block Hero Art stamp!

I am also going to enter this card in the month long challenge over on the Hero Arts blog....

I am also going to enter it over at the Wee Memories blog challenge #78- Free for All....

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit :) Have a great day, Hugs, TRace

Good morning!! Anyone else feeling the time crunch on getting their Christmas cards mailed out!!!

I thought I would play along with a new challenge blog:) Laurel is currently is having a challenge- Inspired By...

Here is the inspiration photo.  I choose to use the cool colours and Christmas theme from the photo for my inspiration. I also liked the modern feel...so I used non-Christmas stamps. The Background is a quilt pattern stamp and the middle panel is a dot pattern stamp...both by Impression Obsession :)

My blog friend Barb also inspired me with her beautiful cards HERE.

Here is a close-up to show the effects of the Tim Holtz Distress crackle in rock candy and the Perfect Pearls spray...SO addicted to using this stuff!!

I am also going to enter this in Simon Says Stamp Challenge-Anything Goes :)

Have the most wonderful day!! Hugs, TRace
