My wonderful father passed away in 2007 so I won't be able to share this card with him; this card has several shades of brown and a bit of orange - two of his favorite colors.

Super Dad Scenario from long ago: my mom was outside hanging up the washing and my dad was inside painting a hallway to our bathroom.  I was about five years old and when he wasn't looking I decided to grab the paint brush and add some "artistic" touches to the wall.  He just smiled and said, "we better cover that over before your mom sees it" - no scoldings there.....he always had my back.  Such a little moment but I always remember it!

I wanted to create a masculine card with some texture and dimension so I opened up my craft arsenal and pulled out the following:
LoveBug Creations Orange Mama's Mesh HERE
Brown Twine
Stampin Up stamps for Dad's Day and Whisper White and Light Brown Cardstock
A wood panel embossing folder
Distress ink - vintage photo
Gel pen for highlighting and accents

I ran the whisper white with the embossing folder through my Big Shot and inked the panel with vintage photo distressed ink; I stamped out the images and sentiment, fussy cut and mounted each on a piece of cardboard and cut again - for me this is the best way to have images sturdy and defined.  The finishing touches were Mama's Mesh, brown twine, and a corner rounder for the edges of the card............remember no matter how you bunch your blooms, rumple your ribbon, and piece your paper, have fun with it.............cyber Dad's Day..........Mama LoveBug

Father's Day Hop - Time to Salute the Dads in Your Life

Looking for the 100 Acre Woods Blog Hop - click HERE

Welcome to The Father’s Day Hop.  If you zipped over from Connie you are on the right course, but if you stumbled on this hop and want to start with our blog hostess, go to Miranda

Father’s Day for me is bittersweet as my dad (William George Pattison) passed away about a week from Father’s Day in 2006.  He was the very best of fathers and always remains in my heart as the Model Dad!!  He was charming and funny; he was the ultimate gentleman and hard worker.  He provided a wonderful life for my mother and me.  As a Staff Sergeant in the Army Air Corps, he was a veteran of WWII and a proud member of the SAR, VFW, and American Legion.

After he retired as a tool-and-die maker for Chrysler, he enjoyed playing cards, especially cribbage, golf, bowling, and making jewelry, but his special passion was cheering on his football team, The Pittsburgh Steelers. His third-great-grandfather, Nathaniel Wilson Smith, was a jeweler of note in the Pittsburgh, PA-Columbus, OH-Wheeling, WVA areas, so I imagine that’s the impetus for jewelry designing and football preference.

Whenever I think of the colors I’d associate with my father, they would be yellow and brown – he favored that combo and usually wore some sort of yellow polo and brown slacks for casual wear.  With that in mind, I decided to try out a few new products (to me), to design a Father’s Day card in his memory.

Recipe
*Mr. Huey Mask - Chevron and Mr. Huey Sprays in yellow and brown - instead of stamping the triple layers, I sprayed using the chevron mask (1st time to do this)
*Triple-Stamped Card base with SU Yellow and Whisper White cardstock
*Tie Stamp and Sentiment from SU, stamped in brown and brown Stickles for tie
*Punched base on yellow using two different SU punches
*White and yellow twine
*Mama's Mesh from LoveBug Creations HERE under New Product
*A ton of love

Since I have a new tool in my crafty arsenal, a Cameo, I had to give it a whirl on several tie cards for my husband - I made two but can't decide which I like best.........these were shirt and tie cuts from the Silhouette Cameo Store plus DCWV double-sided paper and a bit of Stickling thrown in for a subtle glimmer; sentiment was from my stamp stash:

Father's Day Offering for Paper Hoarders DT

It'll be Father's Day at the end of the week and as a Paper Hoarders DT Offering the LoveBugs are sharing projects for that occasion. To see all the projects please start with Tanya's Blog by click it!

Mama LoveBug made a pocket card with her husband in mind - he is a Navy Veteran of the Vietnam Conflict so here's the card for him - In The Navy:

I made a paper doll Navy guy and took some Stampin UP materials - Father's Day tie set and sentiments - Thinking of You and Happy Father's Day and used silver and gold embossing powders. I cut out the top sentiment for the Navy hat and the bottom ties for the base which I adhered to several scalloped mats.  The paper was also SU.  Of course, what's a card without Stickles for the tie, life preserver, and the Navy guy's eyes!!

Awwww....Mama's project for my (Kimi) dad is too darn cute, huh? I also went the Father's Day route and made this card for my hubby from my kiddos! I used about 7 patterns from PPbN to make this card! You ought to check her site out as she has adorable patterns AND is having a HUGE SUMMER SALE! :) When I saw her new "I LOVE DADDY" sets I knew I had to use them for my card!!! I also used pattern paper from DCWV (Sweet Treats Stack) Buttons from SU! sentiment stamped using KinderStampo's "Say it in Type" set, PK faces and twine from my stash! Everything else is all PPbN! Hope you enjoy this card as much as I do! :)

Please make sure to check out Tanya's Blog and visit the other PH DT member blogs as well! We've all put in a lot work on these projects and want to know you are seeing them!

Bug Hugs,

Kimi
