Hello Friends! Happy Friday to you all. It's been a LONG week! But the good news is, the weekend is here and we have another challenge going on over at Cardz TV!

The Challenge: "Father's Day"- create a card, layout or project for Father's day.

Starts: Friday, May 31st

Ends: Thursday, June 13th at Noon

So here is what I made for this challenge:

Card is a standard A2 card. Papers are by Recollection and Papertrey Ink. I used my Country Life cartridge to cut the farmer out at 3 1/4". I inked around all the edges using momento rich cooca ink.

To finish the card off, I used some hemp cord wrapped around the top of the card and threaded on the buttons. The buttons are from October Afternoon. My sentiments are inked with the same momento rich cocoa ink and come from the "You're the Man" stamp set by Cardz TV Stamps.

Well my friends, I hope my card inspires you to make some Father's day cards and you should really stop by the Cardz TV Blog and see what my other design team sisters have created for this challenge.

Cardz TV's "You're the Man" Stamp Release Blog Hop Day 2~

Hello my crafty friends!
Welcome to the Cardz TV's "You'e the Man" Stamp Release Blog Hop!!!
I am so happy that you could join us today for day 2 of the hop! If you did not get the chance to hop with us yesterday, you can just go Here and see all the wonderful projects that our design team has created just to showcase this gorgeous stamp set!

You should have arrived here from Laura's blog from the Queen's Card Castle...and now here is what I made.I made this card for my daughter to give to her dad on Father's Day.

I used kraft cardstock for my card base and made this into a regular A2 sized card. This is a one layer card which I rarely never do but I like how this turned out. Masculine cards are always a struggle but this one came together quite easy. The patterned paper is from Colorbok and so is the scalloped die cut. I fussy cut the scalloped die cut and stamped the sentiment "Happy Father's Day" using momento rich cocoa ink. I also stamped the mustache that comes in the stamp set using the same ink, fussy cut it out and popped it up on foam tape to add to the sentiment tag. I added a strip of patterned paper scalloped edged, also from Colorbok. To finish the front of this card off, I added some hemp cord and a rich brown button from October Afternoon. I went ahead and finished the inside.. here is a peek..

I used the same patterned paper on the inside and stamped the sentiments, "Dad" and "You're the BOMB!" in the same momento rich cocoa ink. I added some hemp cord to the top and added these cute glasses(also from the stamp set) up in the corner. I added some glossy accents to the glasses to make them look more realistic.
