Father's Day cards

Since Father's Day is just around the corner, I thought I would show off a couple cards I created with a masculine/Dad theme to them.

I have a couple brand new stamps from Cornish Heritage Farms and while they have an astronomy theme to them, how could they fit any better for the guy in your life? I used a Stamp Block to create my background piece. The paper that I stamped it on is by BasicGrey and it is a mix of blues and greens. It was just subtle enough so that when I stamped on it, the design showed up really well.

Notice a couple Core'dinations techniques on this card. I used a piece of cardstock from The Chocolate Box collection. That means it is a shade of brown on the top side and this one is a yellow color on the bottom side. When I tore this piece of cardstock, the yellow core was exposed. The card base is a piece from the Vintage collection. It almost looks like it was sanded and then I did sand the edges of the entire card to show off the core.

I used a couple patterns from BasicGrey for this card.

I used a lettering template to cut out two of each of the letters for DAD and then I tore across the middle of one of each of the letters so that the core of this Black Magic cardstock was exposed. I also sanded the letters and sanded the entire outside edge of the brown colored card.
