It was also Fathers day and my cards this year were quite simple, I say 'cards' as I have to make one on behalf of James for his Dad 😊, he's really not into crafting at all!!
I know what you're thinking.... yep they're very similar!! I've used Concord & 9th's double cut alpha with the background blocks stamp set to make my colourful focal sentiment, and because it's double cut you can swap the pieces around if you cut at least two of each letter and get two different looks.
I started with stamping out the blocks...
Then once the letters had been cut you can start to mix them up.... you can even use the negative piece to help form your letter.... I think the scribbled block looks great when you trim around it as I have for the S in this design...
A simple design which is always a safe bet for a guys card but I do love the punch of colour.
More details and links can be found on the Seven Hills Crafts blog here.
Thanks for stopping by :)

ReplyDeleteThese are both so wonderful Jenny! Good luck with the heat, I remember living and working in the UK in the Summer 2003 with a big heatwave and it was no fun, the poor patients at the hospitals really struggled as there was no air conditioning and very few windows... big hugs and keep cool my friend x
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, something I wouldn't have thought of, love the effect you achieved.

Love your cards!!!...Maybe the first one is my favorite with the 'flowing' and colorful alphabet! Love the design using the texture paste to 'frame' the letters!♥
ReplyDeleteWow! Love what you did with these letters - they look amazing.

Cool, funky and fun, Jenny ... with such great texture on both! Hope things have cooled down for you! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteThese ROCK!! I love the patterns and colours and that awesome texture paste pattern! I really want these dies now... :)
ReplyDeleteI hear you about the heat although I live in the wrong place to complain! Maybe I need to spend summers in Alaska...
