I had such a fun time putting these cards together! I took my crafting supplies out to a party and pulled some little helpers to play around with the inks too. They had a blast creating backgrounds and then making them into cards.

 Ok, I have appreciated Steamboat Willie for a long time now, but after visiting Disneyland, this stamp set was a MUST! 

 Here is a look at the cards I made up for Father's Day this year using the cute Lawn Fawn You Goat This set.

 Father's Day is two weeks away! Here are some simple plantable cards I made up to try out the new-to-me Robin & Wren set from The Greetery.

 As usual, I left these cards to the last minute and was needing something to come together fast! I came across this idea on Pretty Pink Posh's Instagram and decided to make my own sports background using the new Lawn Fawn All-Star set. 

 I had big plans to make some more elaborate Father's Day cards, but with all of the June family events I ended up keeping these fairly simple. I was able to create a fun background using the Big Plans Background stamp from The Greetery. I embossed it in white onto some white cardstock and then ink blended some Faded Jeans distress oxide ink. I kept my ink darker in the corners and lighter in the middle.

My package from Taylored Expressions arrived just in time the other day to make up some Father's Day cards. I just love all of the names that come in this Building Blocks - Him stamp and die set and think it will be great not only for this occasion, but for birthdays, too! The plaid stencils will be awesome for masculine cards - something I often struggle with! I was inspired by Taylor Van Bruggen's use of these products and set to work with some Chipped Sapphire + Pine Needles distress oxide inks and some Toffee, Earl Grey, and Blue Corn cardstock.

Father's Day cards have hit Lane & Meadow this week just in time for the coming weekend celebration. I wanted to create a watercolour look with this sailboat and decided to colour right onto the stamp with my Tombow markers. I really like how delicate this Verve sentiment font is and like how it coordinates with this seaside set.

It's often challenging for me to design a more masculine card but I finally set to work with this older Close To My Heart seaside set. I played around with the colour a bit...I knew I didn't want to stamp it in black ink so I was trying to colour in each part of the lighthouse with different Tombow markers, but the translation just wasn't happening to my liking. I finally decided to keep it simple by colouring the entire image with this beautiful Marvy navy hue and I love how it turned out.

When I first saw this stamp set it instantly reminded me of one of my all-time favourite places to be - Kootenay Lake! I knew it would be great to pull out to use for some Father's Day cards. I used some second generation stamping and loved the different textures obtained from the stamp set itself. Can't wait to play around more with this set :)

I wanted to create a special Father's Day card for my husband, so I set to work with some beautiful new wood papers that I just got from my trip to Toronto, along with some favourites from Studio Katia. If you look closely there are kraft coloured dots on the white triangle! I used Freshly Made Sketches to put together the layout and am linking up with the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge to make it masculine.
