Wilderness Awaits Father’s Day

At May’s library class, we made two quick and easy cards.  The first was a Mother’s Day card.  You can see it here.

Our second card was one suitable for Father’s Day, using The Wilderness Awaits stamp set.  Today is the last day to order this set, so if you like it, order it now, before it’s gone forever!

Stamps:  The Wilderness Awaits, Greatest Greetings, Hardwood

Cardstock:  Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla

Ink:  Soft Suede, Early Espresso

Punch:  2″ Circle, Triple Banner

Other:  Linen thread

Tomorrow we’ll have a new catalog, and all new products!  I hope you’ll come back to see some new projects!

Until then……stay inky, my friends!

 

Delayed Easter Projects

I know Easter is long past, but I do want to share a few projects from our March classes.  I hope you enjoy seeing them, even though it’s late.  I lost my mom in March, so it was not a good month for me, and I’ve gotten behind on blog posts.

First up is a cute bunny card.  This was adapted from a card on Pinterest by Kelly Acheson.  I switched things up a bit, but the original idea came from her.  🙂  This card uses the Tiny Triangles TIEF, and the Friends & Flowers and Greatest Greetings stamp sets from the Occasions catalog.  The DSP in the background is vintage but the new paper stack would also work great for this.

I’m a frugal stamper, and I don’t like to throw anything away.  So, I decided to make this cute little lamb card using the circle punched from the gray panel on the card above.   We used the white chalk marker to color the “wool”.  The stamp is Easter Lamb from the Occasions Catalog.  It comes with the lamb and words on the same stamp, but I cut mine apart to make it easier to use separately.  The lamb would be so cute on a baby card.

Here’s another cute Easter project.  It’s made with the scallop tag topper punch, and uses the Friends & Flowers stamp set again.  The bunny is colored with aquapainters and backed with a scalloped circle of Blushing Bride glimmer paper.  There’s a Hershey nugget inside for a nice little treat!

One more Easter card using the Circle of Spring set from page 77 of the Annual Catalog.  This also has a “hello spring” stamp, so it doesn’t have to be an Easter Card.  If you purchased the Wonderful Wreath bundle from last year’s holiday catalog, you already have framelits that coordinate to cut out the wreath, if you choose.
