Father's Day meets the Mason Jar punch -The Masterchef version and a few Dad Jokes.

Yesterday I posted the mason jar woodworker's version, today is the BBQ chef version. I've used the fabulous Mason Jar Punch and coordinating Shaker Domes, and paired it with the Gilded Autumn specialty Designer Series Paper. Some (retired) copper washi tape to look like the screw top lid and a colourful mix of spices.

I think all Dads think themselves pretty handy in the chef department, so these should be broadly appropriate.

I filled the jars with Star Anise, Cardamom Pods, Coriander seeds and Chilli flakes.


The handy kebab image is from the recently retired Outdoor BBQ set. After I photographed this card I added the sentiment from Strong and Beautiful which says
"You're amazing
and that's a fact"

I made a few versions of this style using some retired paper ( making room for new things to come....) and another great retired set for Chefs -  Perfect Mix.

Our family are partial to word puns and word play jokes so these make me smile- plus they feel like Dad joke things to say! I love the new brushed metal foil as the accent too, feels like it should be in a kitchen.

I fell in love with this retired stampset when it was released and though I regularly add new ones and have parted with plenty of sets, this one (Perfect Mix) is firmly listed in the favourite MINE pile.



I think this fits the bill for Just Add Ink this week wiht their theme of Just Add Guys

As I've mentioned before (on this post using the jar punch) you can post these in Australia inside the clear Acetate boxes. They will cost you 2 standard stamps rather than one because they are classed as a large letter. I'm not sure about the woodworker's version however since the screws are quite heavy.


 
If you want to make these fun cards yourself you can find all the products I used at this link.

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 

"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz

    These are fantastic Liz! Such a 'grate' array of mens cards and I love the addition of the spices in the jars. They would smell fantastic too! Thanks for playing along this week at Just Add Ink. Rochelle xo

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car...

Funky Folds Blog Hop= a Bay window card using Country Flowers

Well it's been a very long time since I participated in a blog hop - and it feels good to be participating in a FUNKY FOLDS hop. You may have come from Jan McQueen's creation, or you may be starting here. Be sure and hop all the way around. I do love Fancy Fold cards and of course with a new catalogue and new products it is fun to be creating again. I have a big weekend retreat coming up in a few weeks and we are using the Country Flowers Stamp set so I am creating a swag of samples. Since time is such a precious commodity for all of us I am using some old favourite folds with new products - a whole new lease on life. For this week's hop I am revisiting the Bay Window Card. The front tri-panel piece bends forward and tucks in behind the little anchor which is fixed to the inside. Your card will stand up unaided. This is it with the edge tucked under the anchor. You can find the measurements and instructions and several previous samples on these pages. Today's card featu...

CTC#116 Inspired by Pages 20-31

Welcome back of another week of CTC. This week we are CASEing quite a big section of the catalogue-pages 20-31, which includes the Oh So Succulent suite. I love the succulent set but need a lot more time to play with it. (I'm sure you can all relate to that!) I also love little square notecards like the one on page 31, so I had a little play and this is what I came up with. This week I've done the step it up system again. This is a lot of fun and a process which can help you analyse your own style and how to adapt that for classes or workshops to appeal to a wider range of styles. This week I am stepping it up from simple stamping directly onto the notecard, then building on that with another colour, added layers and embellishments. Although the twine doesn't carry through from the base card it needed a little bit of black to tie them all together.
