DCD ~ Masculine or Father's Day

Happy Tuesday!

Today I am sharing the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas.

This Week's Challenge...

~ Masculine or Father's Day ~

Here is my Design Team project...

A couple week's ago I won a challenge at Cut It Up and the prize was gift certificate to My Scrap Chick. I bought a bunch of files and this happened to be one of them. It is a beverage shirt wrap.

My hubby's favorite drink is Coca Cola. 

The box to hold the can is actually quite durable. I was a bit worried at first, but it turned out nicely.

The stamped sentiments are from Jaded Blossom.

Other Challenges: 
Try it on Tuesday ~ For the Boys

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Masculine or Father's Day" challenge. Our sponsor this week is Scrapbook Adhesives and it is a $35 prize package. How awesome is that!

Stay Creative,

Happy Father's Day

Happy Sunday!

Today is not only Father's Day, but Dorm Move-In Day. We will be spending the day together moving our "little" girl towards the next step of becoming independent. An exciting journey awaits her these next few years.

My hubby asked me the other day to make his father a card. Of course, he knew I would. I wanted a masculine look, but something a little different. That is when I decided to try these metal sheets I had in my stash! I first cut a 1" strip and embossed it in the Cuttlebug with a Tim Holtz distressed pattern. Then I cut the letters with my Cricut.  

I used the following sketch from Jo's Scrap Shack.

I wrapped some gold sewing thread and randomly taped it on the backside of the MFT stitched circle. Latte skittles by Carri were glued in the upper right corner.

Other Materials:

DCWV pattern paper ~ the Natural Stack

Other Challenges:

4 Crafty Chicks ~ Metal
Hiding in My Craft Room ~ Masculine

Hope you make this a wonderful Father's Day for that special man in your life.

Father's Day at Die Cuttin' Divas and Miss Kate Cuttables

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome back to Carson's Creations where I have been busy crafting away. I have watched videos (which I don't typically do, but have actually enjoyed), looked for different techniques to try, and visited others while being amazed by their creativity. If I haven't stopped by to see you, PLEASE leave me a comment and invite me over!

Today I am sharing the challenge for Die Cuttin' Divas and Miss Kate Cuttables. They both begin today and have the same theme.

This Week's Challenge...Father's Day

Here is my Design Team project...

My hubby loves to fix "stuff", so I thought this was appropriate for him! I used the SVG Cutting Files Trapezoid Handle bag  (cut it on my Cameo) and Recollections pattern paper for the container.

I used  the Mr. Fix-It file from Miss Kate Cuttables for the sign on the front of the bag.

This tag is part of the Tags and Backgrounds file and Dad is from the #1 Dad Title file both from Miss Kate Cuttables. Silver crinkle ribbon, black craft thread, and a silver brad keep it masculine.

Other Challenges:

Crazy 4 Challenges ~ Masculine

Jo's Scrap Shack ~ Father's Day

Little Scrap Pieces ~ Show It Off Saturday

Simply Create Too ~ Buttons or Bows

Silhouette Challenges ~ Anything Goes

Hope you will join us at both Die Cuttin' Divas and Miss Kate Cuttables this week for the "Father's Day" challenge. The other design team members did a fantastic job honoring that important man in their life. Be sure to check out ALL the variety!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Father's Day

Hello!

Welcome Back to Carson's Creations and thanks for stopping by today.

Just a quick post to share a Father's Day card I made for my hubby. He and my daughter went to Universal Studios last night for the Goo Goo Dolls concert, which gave me a little extra time to make a quick card for him. I think my daughter was quite surprised since I usually tell her she must make her own.

I like to buy him ties since they are so colorful and there is always such a great selection. A card with lots of ties seemed to be the way to go.

I made a pocket on the front (hubby didn't even realize the tag was removable).

The "#1 Dad" svg file is from Miss Kate Cuttables.

I found this stamp in my collection. It is amazing what you find when you clean and organize.

Other Materials:

Jillibean pattern paper

blue, yellow, red, and white card stock

red crinkle ribbon ~ 3 Girl JAM

red pearls 

Ranger Archival Ink ~ Cobalt blue

We also went out to the movies this afternoon to see Jurassic World (hubby's choice) and then we went to Sears so he could buy a new tool chest. He is a man who loves his tools (I surely can not complain since I love my paper and craft supplies)!

Exciting news coming this week, so please stop by again!

Stay Creative,

Masculine Challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas

Hello Everyone!

Welcome back and thanks for stopping by on this terrific Tuesday. Today I am sharing the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas. Hope you will join us this week!

This Week's Challenge...

Masculine

Here is my Design Team project...

Since Father's Day is this upcoming weekend I created my Father-in-Law a card (my hubby actually asked a week ahead of time instead of the day before).

I used the following sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch.

The center die-cut is by Miss Kate Cuttables. I used only pieces of the svg file, World's Best Dad. The metal embellishment is a brad.

Other Challenges:

Jo's Scrap Shack ~ Father's Day

Crazy 4 Challenges ~ Masculine Card

Hiding in My Craft Room ~ Super Scraps (I still have tons of scraps)

My Sheri Crafts ~ Masculine

Come and Get It ~ Guy Thing

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Masculine" challenge. The other design team members have mighty manly projects. Be sure to check them out today!

Can't wait to see what you make for the challenge!

Stay Creative,

Happy Father's Day

Hello Crafty Friends,

Hope you have been enjoying your weekend and you have plans to celebrate that special man in your life today...for today is Father's Day! I am not sure what our plans are yet, but whatever my hubby wants to do is how we will spend our day. 

The idea of Father's Day was met with criticism and jokes for not being "manly" enough. However, with Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Calvin Coolidge's combined previous efforts, President Lyndon B. Johnson was prompted to make an official proclamation in 1966 that designated the third Sunday in June as a national holiday, and in 1972, President Richard Nixon signed the law that made it permanent.

Here is a surprise card I made for my hubby when he and my daughter went out last night to a concert on The Square.

We let him pick out a new grill for Father's Day, so I thought this easel card from My Scrap Chick was a perfect match. It is the BBQ pocket and it is only $1 until tomorrow.

If you decide to make this card...be sure to bend the accessories slighty to make them look more realistic. You could even add a gift card in the pocket...I didn't since we will take him out to eat to wherever he chooses. It is usually a steakhouse...either Cody's or Logan's. I like both, so either place is fine with me!

I used my Cricut to cut out the sentiment at 1 1/2". I found the saying on the Holiday Cakes cartridge (p. 72).

Other Materials:

white, green, blue, silver, brown, and grey cardstock

pattern paper from scrap box

blue buttons

red ribbon

Challenges:

Creative Corner ~ Just for Boys

Jo's Scrap Shack ~ I Love You Dad

Crafty Girls ~ Anything Goes

Cute Card Thursday ~ So Macho

DL.ART ~ June Anything Goes

Paper Crafting Journey ~ Anything Goes

Scrapbooker PhD ~ Use Your Die-Cuts
