Triangle Turnabout & A Truck

Oh, hi! Just poppin' in really quick today to share a Father's Day card I made for my Father-in-Law.  I  do struggle with masculine cards, but I gotta tell ya, that Triangle Turnabout Stamp is perfect for masculine cards. But it can totally be used for more girly cards, too.

The whole idea and design of the turnabout stamps from Concord & 9th is genius!  Genius, I tell you!  I have a sneaking suspicion that a few more of them are going to find their way into my little craft room.

Anywho . . . on to the card:

Congrats on Your New Home

Oh, hi!  I've got two Congratulations cards to share today because two couples I know just bought a house.  And the Pink Avenue stamp set from Pink & Main was perfect!  The set has a variety of houses and super cute accessories like trees, a mailbox, a birdhouse, even a little car.

Anywho, here's the first card.  I googled a picture of Mr. and Mrs. S' house so I could get an idea of the colors of the house and it turns out that their house sits on a good chunk of property. Sooooo, I thought a simple layout of a sweet house surrounded by trees would be perfect.

I also used a picture for inspiration for the second card.  Mr. & Mrs. P's house is a cute little craftsman style with  brick along the bottom and shaker shingles on the front.  I was able to draw in the brick, but the shingles. . . not so much, so I opted for siding instead.

Tri-Fold Friendship Card

Oh, hi! I've got something a bit different today. . . a Tri-Fold Card.  Yep . . . the theme for June for my stamp club is to create a tri-fold card. And, I did some watercoloring using Distress Inks.  Watercoloring is not something I do very often, but I think this card turned out really cute.  Although, that probably had something to do with the super cute bears!
