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

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.
