Happy Father's Day
I haven't worked for 6 weeks, so hopefully I'll remember how to do my job today. Always miss my dad, but days like this are especially hard. I know a lot of you are in the same situation.
Last night I was able to finish a couple cards. First up is my entry for PTI Create Along With Us. I pinned a lot of the DT cards, but finally decided to case the design of this card by Nicole. I pulled out Watercolor Wonder & stamped the images in PTI Lavender Moon, Spring Rain & Mint Julep. The dots from Harvest Berries are stamped in Soft Stone.
My first time to do a double sentiment this way--just love it! I used Splits: Just A Note & Wonderful Words: Hello with Soft Stone & Versafine Smokey Gray. The whole card is covered in Shimmer Spritz for a lovely sheen. I'm also entering Share Joy.
Next is my card for day 2 of MFT Camp Create. The video shows a darling slider card, but the creative challenge is make a card with any type of movable part. I don't have the supplies for sliders or wobblers, so had to improvise.
Needed a card for Fritz to give Daddy so for the first time I used the dog from MFT Boy & His Dog Snow Adorable. I colored with markers, fussy cut & added Diamond Glaze. The Memory Box heart die cut was stamped with an old Stampin' Up paw print & then I attached the dog using a spring from an old pen (cut down) & Diamond Glaze. May not hold up too well, but trust me, the doggy moves when you gently push down on his nose--kind of fun!
The words are from MFT Complimentary Greetings. For the inside I used another MFT set & colored the little heart to match the doggy's scarf. Think hubby will get a kick out of this card!
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. I'll catch up with you as soon as I can. I'm also entering Double D.

That's a great card from Fritz and a great idea to use the spiral from an old biro cut down for the wobble effect. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that Fritz gives a card to your hubby for fathers day. I forgot to make one for my Dad from the cats, but I might be able to make one for him when he gets back Wednesday. YOur first card is really eye catching. I love that soft color off on the right side with the double sentiment stamping.
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous cards Miss Greta...love them both but your sweet doggie card is just adorable.
ReplyDeleteTwo fantastic cards Greta, but your little doggie card just stole my heart...too, too cute! :0)

ReplyDeleteLove how you did the sentiment for you first card. I must remember that and see if I have anything that works. Pretty colors. And, of course, your doggie for daddy is adorable. Clever improve with the spring! Good to see you in our Double D challenge, Greta!
ReplyDeleteWonderful collection of cards Greta, particularly that first one, wonderful stamp set. Love how you improvised with the wobbler, very clever.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards Greta. Love the first one and how cute is that second one...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards...love the double sentiment! Yes, it's difficult on Father's Day without our fathers. But, I must say this was one special Father's Day for the Cavs finally won! My Dad was smiling in heaven!!!:-))
ReplyDeleteOops, wanted to say what a CUTE card from Frtiz for your husband! Love the sweet little dog and the big hearts!!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute cards Greta! My fave is the one from Fritz :) How cuuuuute!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards! Love the watercolor card and the sweet little dog on the second one. Have a lovely week, Greta!
ReplyDeleteMarvelous CASE of Nicole's card....Love those splotches of color edging. What a marvelous way you've done the doggie heart. Brilliant idea to use the pen spring to create your wobble, and I would never have thought of that ...so inspired & creative. I'm always more impressed with how a cardmaker adapts supplies than if all the 'inspiration supplies' are on hand. This is just delightful with the pawprint heart, and I bet both your 'boys' loved it. I surely did! TFS & have a great week.
ReplyDeleteAhhh... so awesome, hate to miss all those fun at MFT!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Greta your first card is outstanding!! I love the split sentiment and the fun "Splotches" : ) FUN! wobbly pup as well! what a blessing you are!: )
