Fathers Day card

Hi Stampers! Here's a maculine card I made for Father's Day, coming up this weekend!

This card uses the stamp set Serene Silhouettes . 

For cardstock colors, I used Tangerine Tango, Early Espresso, and the new Baked Brown Sugar! (Love that color!), as well as some Early Espresso Bakers Twine.

I embossed the Baked Brown Sugar with the Chevron Embossing Folder, and sponged around all the edges with Early Espresso. 

The tree is stamped in Baked Brown Sugar ink, then thumped overtop with markers in Early Espresso and Tangerine Tango. Then I sprtized the Very Vanilla cardstock with my Stampin' Spritzer (mixed 4 drops of Early Espresso ink refill and rubbing alcohol in it.) 

I hope you like this Father's Day card!

Christmas Trees!

 
Good Morning!

I wanted to share with you these Christmas trees I made with my kids recently. We had a great time!

You can see from the bottom view here that I used styrofoam cones from the craft store, and added the paper curls all around. 

You just cut double sided paper (I used the retired set called Holiday Thyme) into 1" X 6" strips. (You need about 3 12X12 sheets per tree.)  Then, using your Bone Folder, curl one end at a time, as you would with curling ribbon. Leave a flat space in the middle, and put a sewing straight pin thru that area into your styrofoam shape. No glue required! 

You can also do this on foam wreath shapes too, but make sure to get the dense foam so the pins don't fall out! This was easy enough for my 7 and 11 year olds to do, but I did help them with the curling part.

Enjoy!
