Love You More Than Chocolate

What?  No way...
Nothing trumps my chocolate.  But I must admit that this stamp set, Lovely Amazing You, has some great sentiments, and I was hooked.  (Not enough to give up my chocolate, though)

I was playing around with ideas for an anniversary card for my hubby, and this is one of the cards that evolved (I ended up using another; see it here).  But I do like how this came out, and I'm sure I'll use it for another occasion.



I started by scoring my Whisper White card stock layer at every 1 inch on my Simply Scored Scoring board, using the diagonal plate.  And I did it on the back side of the paper, so that it looks embossed.  I stamped the sentiment using Early Espresso ink on Whisper White card stock, and cut it out using the Hearts Collection framelits.  A second heart (Early Espresso) was cut and paper pierced, using the Occasions template pack and a paper piercing tool.

My card base is Early Espresso, with a layer of DSP from the Neutrals Paper Stack.  Little banners were cut using the DSP also, and adhered at the top.  "Love you" was stamped, using Banner Banter, and punched with the Banner Punch, and "I Heart You", from And Many More, was stamped and cut out using an arrow from the On Film Framelits.


The final touch was adding Pearls Basic Jewels, colored with an Early Espresso Blendability pen (sorry...I still have mine and am using them!) and added to each intersection of the diagonal score lines.


A nice card for expressing how much you love chocolate!  <grin>

Happy Father's Day!

To all the fathers out there, I wish you a Happy Father's Day!  I'm fortunate to still have my dad, and am married to a dad, and my son is a dad...looking forward to speaking with two of them and spoiling the other (can you guess which ones?).

So here's a cute Father's Day card I made for my dad:

When I first saw this set, Something for Baby, with the matching Baby's First framelits, I decided I didn't need it.  Then, as often happens, I saw some cute samples, and suddenly I HAD to have it!  The only stamp I really wanted was this tie (but of course, I'll use all the other stamps soon).

I stamped the tie in Real Red and Night of Navy, and cut them out with the framelits.  I also cut one using the Maritime Designer Series Paper. 


These were all adhered to a piece of Coastal Cabana card stock, which was mounted on a slightly larger piece of Whisper White. 

I ran a piece of Night of Navy through the Big Shot using the Stylish Stripes embossing folder, and placed that on another piece of the Maritime DSP.  This was all mounted on the card base of Coastal Cabana.

The cute phrase is from Banner Banter, stamped using Stampin' Write markers in Coastal Cabana and Real Red, and cut out with the Word Bubbles Framelits.  I cut another one from Real Red, and the two bubbles are offset and popped up with Dimensionals.

Carrying the theme of "you're the best" to the inside, I found this sentiment, from And Many More:





And of course, what's a special card without a special envelope?

The tie was stamped one more time in Night of Navy on the front, next to the address.



What do you think?  Will my dad know that he's my favorite dad?
