Can you believe it’s almost Father’s Day?? Time is flying fast, and The Greetery is coming in just in time, with a fabulous release dedicated to Dad. I made a few cards showcasing the new products, so let’s take a look at what will be in The Greetery Shop tomorrow.
Up first is Dad Squared stamp set and die. I started with the background. I stamped Big Plans background stamp with gray ink onto gray card stock. The panel was trimmed with a Crimped frame, and attached to a card base with craft foam.
I inked the stamp with Antique Linen and Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink, using finger daubers. I stamped “Love You” with black ink, and attached it to the card panel with thin foam squares. I finished with “Happy Father’s Day”, one of two small sentiments included in Dad Squared stamp set.
I used Dad Squared again for this card, this time using an included stamp to stamp the bottom portion of DAD, and used the second small sentiment, Happy Birthday. I framed it with a black Text Box, and made a background strip, using Tartan Builder Stencil.
The Tartan Builder stencil was used again for this next card, which I paired with the new Reflections stamp set. I inked the Reflections scene with distress oxide inks (Broken China, Tea Dye, Mowed Lawn, Vintage Photo, Forest Moss), then picked Pinkfresh Studio inks to make the background. (Summer Shower, Fresh Pear, Grassy Knoll) a few added pencil detail were added to the trees and grass, then the panel was die-cut with the coordinating die.
I picked Pinkfresh Studio’s Gray color family to stamp this card. (Misty Coast, Rocky Slope, Metropolis, Licorice) I blended a bit of gray ink onto a white background, before attaching the die-cut panel.
I giggled when I saw this Dad Jokes: High Steaks stamp set. I come from a medium-rare family. We all love our steaks red, and dad cooks them perfectly! So I definitely had to make him a card. I inked the steak with Tattered Rose and Crackling Campfire Distress Oxide inks, and the the fork with Black Soot and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide inks. I trimmed a black panel with the large Postage Frame, and white heat-embossed the sentiment. For a little added interest, I stamped, and clear heat-embossed, the reflection stamp from Reflections stamp set.
