AVJ #6 All About Him

I'm sure I don't know where the time is going, It seemed like a day or so ago I was checking the Vintage Journey theme, and low and behold i've just gone back to double check when it closes and i've only got a day left to join in!!
Who is stealing my days!! Come on, own up!
So I grabbed a load of Timmy stash and quickly knocked up this little beauty.

I took the opportunity to get a fathers day card made as i'm sure that will creep up on me if i'm not careful.

I used Tims papers, alpha stamps and dies, I stamped the Dad in versamark and used distress embossing powder, but think I rubbed too hard as alot of the powder came off, so I inked over it, the versamark gave it a sort of grunged up watermark look, so to make it pop I cut the letters out.

1 down, 1 to go..

Right I can't stop as it's my 1st Hobbycraft Induction day tomorrow and I need to get myself ready and get in an early night!!

Thanks in advance for your visit xo

Blog Neglect Again!

OK Come on who is stealing my time away!!! Was it you, or you, perhaps you at the back!!
Anyway I'll keep it short and sweet today as just wanted to share my father's day cards that I had forgotten to blog (on father's day!!)

Better late than never I say lol

 As you can see, I chose the same design but with slight changes to tailor fit each Dad.
Right that's me for now, Till next time..

Mojo a No Show! Pt 2

Another day another mojo.. this time not so pretty..
My good friend Alison made a super card for this weeks Stampotique challenge using the fab 'Portland' image... Now there has been some discussion between us as to the gender of this character, she thinks its a girl, i think its a boy..
So i decided to make a manly card and this weeks 'not so sweet 16' theme seemed perfect.
This also fits in with the GC68 Colour challenge which is 'Red & Black'

Unfortunately after making the card i discovered that the actual challenge was to make a non girly girl piece, so i fear my boy card doesn't count but i figured i'd still share it anyways, they may forgive my mistake.. that i of course totally blame Alison for lol

So people what do you think.... Is Portland a feminine Boy or a manly Girl???

x Happy Father's Day x

This is the card i made for my daddy to wish him a special day today

It fits in with the OneStopCraft challenge with their 'One for the Boys' theme

I inked the card with barn door, stamped 3 of timmy's lions also in barn door {as it is world cup time you know!!!} and my dad does like a bit of the old footy...
I then stamped the dad letters onto some old book page and glossy accented some fragments over each one, i then cut them out and placed a letter on each lion, gave the middle lion a gold dabber crown, added the other wording.. and then to fill the plain gap that was left at the bottom i used the timmy stars.
Simple but quite effective, just hope my daddy likes it.
Sending all my love to you Dad, today and always xx
I also did a card for my OH's Dad and you can see that one HERE

Thank Crunchie....

.....It's Friday!

No reason other then i had no better title!

Here is another of the christmas gifts i made.

Pretty easy really but a nice male gift i thought.

All i did was attached a couple of old scrabble tiles {the guys initals to be precise} to some pre-made cufflink findings.. as the meerkat says.. simples!

Thanks for dropping by...Have a fabby weekend whatever your doing and pop back soon as i have more to show you!

Fathers day sorted

I've been a good girl this year and have got myself organised.

I have done both my Dad's and Tony's (my OH's) Dad....

I figured as i was probably gonna send some cash

for my dad to have a little drinkie on me,
that i would make a card fitting for such a gift...
ah voila the wallet card was born...

It opens and closes just like a proper wallet with a fully working popper you would use on clothes, just popped on with the use of my trusty Crop-a-dile.
It also has a proper wallet holder so when open you really can put the money in it like a real wallet. And i hand stitched it together for a more realistic feel

I am so happy with the way this turned out, just hope my Dad does aswell.

-------------------------------

The card i made for Tony's Dad, as you can see, is rather a clocky theme, he has a clock in every room of there house almost, and we have just got another one for him lol, so i thought it only fitting a clock card to match the gift, plus it gave me a chance to have another play with the great time/clock stamps i got at my Stamp Connection/artistic stamper workshop @ Ally Pally last month.

The background was stamped and masked and then stamped again and so on till i pretty much had the page covered and was happy with the result. I then stamped and coloured the grandfather clock, and once dry i added crackle glaze and some gold to highlight almost like a guilding effect, just so it looked aged.
I made the card a little different in the folding to really focus on the clock one side and the wording the other, which was printed out on acetate, edged with Krylon copper and attached with brads.

Lets just hope the dads like my offerings
