Cards for Dad with CrafTangles

Happy Thursday!

A very rainy start to the day but I'm up on the CrafTangles blog HERE with a trio of cards perfect for Dads.  You could use these stamp sets for birthdays or Father's Day which is coming up soon in the UK.

These cards were all created using the Father related stamp sets brought out recently.  For my first card I added a touch of glitter with a little washi tape and alphabet lettering.

I do like the sentiment which has become quite popular over the years.  I used my Zig pens to colour the image, fussy cut it and adhered it to the pretty plaid papers.

For my next card after colouring in the image, I masked it and used my distress oxides to make a background.  I added sentiments and a little paper to set it off.

For my final card I used a stamp set that could actually be used for anyone providing the percentages apply of course!

I liked the quirky dictionary style of the word Dad in this stamp set.  I added stitched banner dies and backed with pretty plaid paper.

I hope to see you again tomorrow, I have a card ready but need to write my blog post!

Paper Piecing with CrafTangles Products

Happy Thursday!

I'm up on the CrafTangles blog HERE with a tutorial on paper piecing.  As soon as I got my last DT package I knew that the pretty plaid papers would work well with the Hello Baby Stamp.

The first card I've kept quite simple as I wanted to show the technique for paper piecing and I have a step by step tutorial on the CrafTangles blog.  This is where you stamp on the cardstock then on paper and cut out pieces and stick on to the main image.

I've added both wooden and punched stars to finish, together with the sentiment.

For the second card, I've used the same image but paper pieced the bear so it looks like it's wearing a sleep suit - I had the image in my head......

I've added stitched border dies and two sizes of clouds to this one together with the sentiment.

For my final card, I've gone all out and paper pieced a lot of the image in different coloured papers.

I think the sentiment is just so cute - don't you?

I might be back tomorrow but I'm not quite sure as I haven't actually made anything for it yet and it would help..........I suppose you'll just have to wait and see - haha!

Have a lovely day,
