My Dad The Superhero! - A Set of Father's Day Cards

Happy Monday!

How was your weekend?  I had a very crafty one, spending yesterday demonstrating and meeting some lovely fellow crafters.  This Sunday I will be deminstrating at The Range in Romford from 11am.

I'm up on the CrafTangles blog today and being as Father's Day is just around the corner I thought I'd better get some cards made.  What better stamp set to use than the CrafTangles Super Boys stamp and die set?!  It was one of my very first sets I got when I joined the DT.  To this day it's a set I go back to time and time again.

I began by stamping, die cutting and colouring all the images using my Chameleon pens and colour tops.  For my first card I used a skyline stencil to make the background and added some yellow for the lights.

Next up I got out some glitter card as I felt the black needed a bit of a lift - as if I need an excuse to get out the glitter! Ha!

For my final card I opted for a bright background using die cuts.  I think this is a bright happy card, don't you?

There's a more in depth tutorial over on the CrafTangles blog HERE.  I hope to be back on Friday but no promises as I have a jam packed week ahead of me!

Have a lovely week whatever you do,

What A Wonderful World - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

Hasn't the weather been glorious?  Think there's a heatwave forecast for next week as well......summer has finally arrived!

A new challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers has been set by our Kathy and she has chosen the lyrics of 'What A Wonderful World' as it's close to her heart.  You can choose to incorporate all of it or parts of it and of course as it mentioned rainbows I was ecstatic!

I had this idea in my head of using my stitched dies to make a rainbow and I think it works don't you?  Just an addition of some glittery clouds, sun and and gems to finish.  The sentiment is a stamp from an old issue of Quick Cards Made Easy.

So, there you have it.  Lots more inspiration on the Daring Cardmakers Blog HERE and I hope you'll join in as there's so much to choose from in this challenge.

Birthdays parties and a charity drop in are on my agenda this weekend.  Hope you have a good one whatever you get up to!

See you again soon,
