No Disguising Dad

Hi there crafty friends, Sharon aka One Crafty Mrs. here to share my Monday make with you.  I had a little help and used Lori Whitlock’s Circle Flip Swing card file for the Silhouette Cameo to make today’s card.  I used the faces from the King Of The Grill set by Lisa @ Sunsational Stamps. 

 

 

It may look simple but this card gave me a run for my money trying to figure out how to fold it, lol.  Once I figured that out, I printed the faces and cut them each into a small circle to fit. I cut 3 more larger circles out to layer behind the faces.  I used my PrismaColor Markers and a couple of Copics to color the faces.  I cut 3 more small circles out of white cardstock and 3 more larger circles to layer behind them.  Then I laid all of those pieces aside for the time being.

 

 

 

I used the template from the card file to cut two pieces of cardstock for the front and inside panel of my card. I used a PrismaColor Marker to run along the edge of the cardstock to give it some definition.  Then I adhered it to the card front with some Tombo Multi Mono Liquid Glue.  I cut another piece of cardstock and adhered it to the inside.

 

 

 

The final step was to attached the faces to the front and the sentiments to the inside.  I added a piece of washi tape and called it done!

King of the Grill

Hello!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards joining you today!

With Father's Day coming next month, Sunsational Stamps is featuring sets which would be perfect to use for cards or layouts honoring the dads in your life.

Today I'm using the King of the Grill digital stamp set.  Here's a look at the full set:

I had two cards in mind for this set.  It was really difficult to only make just one as I loved both ideas.  Here's the winner .  The inspiration for this card came from my blogging friend, Kelly, who is a consummate card maker.

I designed this card in my Silhouette.  The base is 4 1/4" x 7", scored at 3 1/2" cut from Riding Hood Red card stock.  For the greeting, I created a text to path on a 3" circle.  The mat was made with an 1/8" offset.  I attached this piece to the base to make a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" or A2 sized card.

I imported the grill and utensils into my design screen, sized and traced them. Then I print and cut them together with the stripe and plaid patterned paper.  The images were colored with Copic markers; C3, C5, C7, C9, 100, E33, YR18 E57 & E59.  Here's a closer look at the coloring:

For inside the card, I got the adorable idea for the greeting from the set.  I changed the font to match the greeting on the front and with that, the card was finished.

A little story about the sentiment.  I looked at it once when I typed it, again when I printed it, a third time when I attached it to the inside of the card and a final time when I took the pictures.  After all that, I didn't notice I typed Happy Day's Day!  I find it amazing that I could overlook such an obvious error all those times.  It was the sharp eyes of our DT Coordinator, LeeAnn, that saved the day!
