Steampunk Masculine Father's Day Cards

Hello! Today I have a couple of masculine steampunk Father's Day cards. These would make great masculine birthday cards too, just by changing the sentiment on them.

Some of the products I have used in this post have been provided to me by various companies. The opinions I share are solely my own. Affiliate links may be used where possible at no cost to you. However, I do earn a small commission when you click on my link and make a purchase from them. Thank you, and I appreciate your support!

For the background, I used an embossing folder on brown cardstock and then rubbed some different colors of ink onto the raised areas. Then I gathered up some chipboard Gears from Creative Embellishments and pressed them into some metallic ink, some in gold and some in silver. I did the same thing with the Creative Embellishments Bicycle Chain Pieces. I also lightly added some black and patina ink to each one to give them more of an aged metal look. On the chain pieces, I added black brads to the open holes. This was a great way to use up some of the hundreds of brads that I have had laying around forever. Then I attached all the pieces to the front of each card and added a Happy Father's Day stamp from Crackerbox Stamps that I heat embossed to match each card.

Here is the silver card...

and here is the gold one...

Which one is your favorite?

Lily Easter Card

 Hello friends! Today I would like to share a monochromatic lily Easter card I made. Just in time for Easter!

Some of the products I have used in this post have been provided to me by various companies. The opinions I share are solely my own. Affiliate links may be used where possible at no cost to you. However, I do earn a small commission when you click on my link and make a purchase from them. Thank you, and I appreciate your support!

To create the background for my card, I first started with a 2" strip of white cardstock and then ink blended a light purple ink over the entire piece.

Next, I used The Crafter's Workshop TCW2318 Flying Butterflies Slimline Stencil with a slightly darker purple ink and after the lighter ink was fully dried, I ink blended the butterflies with blending brushes over the lighter purple. Then sprinkled some clear embossing powder over the stenciled area and heat embossed it to give the butterflies a shiny appearance.

Then on the front of the white card base on one side, I repeated the same thing with the butterfly stencil. Then I adhered the first strip I made onto the front of the card base on one side and added a thin strip of glitter paper. Stamped the Crackerbox Stamp Lily stamp several times on some white cardstock and colored them in with Copic Markers and fussy cut them out. 

Then added the lilies to the front and also stamped and added the Crackerbox Stamps Happy Easter sentiment to the front and some sequins and then my card was done.

What The Duck! A Snarky Card

Hello! Today I am sharing a snarky way to ask someone what's up with this funny What the Duck card.

However, I do earn a small commission when you click on my link and make a purchase from them. Thank you, and I appreciate your support!

To create the background, I sprayed some color spray onto my craft mat in yellow and blue then sprayed it lightly with water. Next, using a piece of watercolor paper I placed it down into the color spray but just laid it on top without pressing it down. I just wanted the paper to pick up the color and not have it smoosh out to the sides of the paper so I didn't push the paper down.

Then on a piece of white cardstock, I stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Duck Grin. Then colored him in with Copic Markers and fussy cut him out. For the sentiment, I stamped the Crackerbox Stamps What The Duck with VersaFine Clair directly over the color sprayed background. To finish off my card I added a few drops of Nuvo Drops.

However, I do earn a small commission when you click on my link and make a purchase from them. Thank you, and I appreciate your support!

I love this Crackerbox Stamps Frog Grumpy Stamp I used, he kinda has a little bit of an attitude. I first stamped him on white cardstock and then stamped him again on some masking paper. Then I fussy cut out the image from the masking paper and laid it over the cardstock stamped image. Then took the Crackerbox Stamps Bunny Ears Stamp and stamped over the masked image so it looks like the frog is wearing the ears. Then I colored the image with Copic markers and fussy cut it out.
On another piece of white cardstock, I stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Eggs Decorated Stamp and colored them in with Copics. Around the eggs, I used a stencil and ink to create some grass. Then I attached the frog on top of the eggs using foam squares.

Next, I stamped the sentiment Crackerbox Stamps Hippety Whatever Stamp and the Crackerbox Stamps Frog's Fly a couple of times around the sentiment. With a blending brush and ink and a stencil, I created a cloud look around the sentiment and top of the card front.

I first painted each layer of the Creative Embellishments Cloud Shaker white and then once the layers were dry, I then adhered the first frame to the base. Then added one more of the cloud frames on top of that. I then adhered the word peace from the Creative Embellishments Hashtag 2 Set into the middle and added some microbeads for the shaker. Next, I adhered the clear acetate piece that comes with the Cloud Shaker set and then the last cloud frame onto the top. To create the keyring holder, I screwed a small eyelet into the side with a ring on it and added the keyring to that. The hardest part was waiting for the paint and Beacon 3 in 1 adhesive to dry.

This really was a simple card to make. I stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Peep Bunny 3 times on white cardstock and spray airbrushed them with Copic Markers to give them a sugar look like real Peeps. Then I fussy cut them out and tucked them behind a cottage picket fence die cut. For the sentiment, I stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Favorite Peep stamp on a die cut label. For the background, I used some patterned paper that I had in my stash.

Then I added some flower clusters and twine bows using my Xyron Mini Hot Glue Gun and some letter stickers for the Texas Cowgirl title and the year.

Tie Dye Peace Card

 Hello! Today I am sharing how I created my blue and yellow tie dye peace card.

However, I do earn a small commission when you click on my link and make a purchase from them. Thank you, and I appreciate your support!

I started with a piece of The Crafter's Workshop Watercolor Paper Pack and on the top half, I sprinkled on some of the Yellow Ochre ColorSparx from The Crafter's Workshop ColorSparx® Grasslands pack. On the bottom half, I sprinkled on some of the Cerulean Blue ColorSparx from The Crafter's Workshop ColorSparx® Poolside. Then I misted the entire paper with water.
Below is what it looked like at first but I thought it still looked too plain.

So I decided to use The Crafter's Workshop Daisy Spread over the ColorSparx background and sponge daubed on some ink over the stencil. Using yellow ink over the yellow area and blue ink over the blue area.

I love how the ink with the stencil over the ColorSparx gives it a watercolor or tie dye look.

For the sentiment, I stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Peace Outline stamp with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. Then with some aqua transfer foil, I ran it through my laminate machine. Then since I already had a watercolor theme going I used some of the ColorSparx with a small paintbrush and colored it in making sure that it went outside the lines. Then I attached the sentiment in the center of the card and added some enamel dots and I was done.
