Father's Day meets the Mason Jar Punch bundle - the woodworker's version

How do you really say thankyou to your Dad? It's a tough one. 
But hopefully one of these will bring a smile to my Dad's face.
 I have been having lots of fun creating some cards for Father's Day to stock at Our Shop. I did see another card somewhere which sparked the idea for the woodworker's card but I can't find the original to give credit, but I want to thank you for your brilliant idea. I've had lots of fun creating these. I don't know anything about screws, and a real woodworker would probably not put these 2 different types together but I'm OK with the mix! My Dad's workshop did have rows of jars and the lids were all screwed to the underside of a shelf- a space saving tip that he was quite proud of.
The Mason Jar Punch and the self adhesive shaker domes makes it so easy
This card uses strips of different timber papers adhered to a scrap piece of card like parquetry, then trimmed to a neat rectangle. I also add further dimension by running the whole piece through the embossing folder- Hardwood. Naturally the grains don't line up but I like the overall effect.

I have used some retired alphabet stamps to create "dad", but the current Well Said set for "the best of you has made the best of me", which I thought was perfect for Father's Day. I was also able to use that set to create the "Happy Father's Day". Some of the cards say "You're amazing and that's a fact" from the "Strong and Beautiful" set which at first glance appears to be a Mother's day set, but is totally relevant to Dad's too. "You have truly been a shining example to me" is on the inside on some for example.

If you want to create your own cards like these you can find all the products here.


My brother sent me this meme which we all laughed about, maybe you can relate

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 
"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"

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
