Fathers Day Card

  Hey Guys! I wanted to show you really quick what kind of card I made for Fathers day.

 This was really easy to make: I basically used a card base and added scrapbook paper on top, Then I distressed it with Tim Holts Walnut Stain and made the edges rough using a paper distressed, you can also use scissors. Then I punched out two little leaves and also distressed with the same ink and glued them in the corners using double sided tape. Then I wrote Happy Fathers Day on card stock, traced it with a sharpie and cut it out. Then I distressed it with ink and Ta-Da! Its done! 

Try to make something hand-made for your dad and show him how much you care through that!

Make-People-Happy Card!

Hello, people of the world! I'm back again on my blog to share my ideas with you, just mind blog and talk with you guys. This week our craft is Thank you cards for all those sweet people that took the time and money to get you something for Christmas. This is the coolest way to thank them for what they did because c'mon, who would want a thank you over the iPhone over these cute cards? anyway, let's get started.
                            

 This is the card, this is an idea. You don't have to do the flower, you don't have to do the exact words. Put in whatever you want on it, it's your creation.

Materials:

Card-stock,white 8x4

Small pieces of colorful card-stock

Extra card-stock

Centers for the flowers(I used half-pearls)

Glue

Punches:big and small, you can use whatever you want, you can even cut your own flowers out

Stamp block

Stamps

Ink Pad

Ball tools,( is that what you call 'em?:)

Step #1

Punch out all your flowers from the colorful card stock. 

 Step #2

Next, you want to take the biggest ball tool, the biggest flower and start making little indents in each of the petals with the ball, AND after that, you have to flip it and make one indent in the middle.Repeat this to the next flowers, EXCEPT the smallest one.

…To make it look like this

Step #3

Now with the smallest one, you want to do everything the same except flipping the flower on the other side and making an indent.Then, glue on the decorative center to the smallest flower.

Step #4

The hardest step ever… glue them together in order!

Step #5

Now for the leaves, cut out a leaf shape, then cut through the center. Put glue on one side, and gather it together. Like in the bottom picture

Step #6

Now, you will cut a corresponding color card stock to 1.75"x2.75" and white card stock to 1.5"x2.5", and stack them together.

Step #7

After that, I took the stamp"THANKS SO MUCH" from the 'thanks' stamp set from Fiscars that I got from Tuesday Morning for really cheap

 and I stamped it in black on the white card stock. Then I glued all the pieces to the card, and I am finished! It may seem allot, but when you actually do it, it is really fast, so enjoy this little piece of hand work!
