Hello Crafters!
The Kraft Journal is hosting a new challenge this week, Just For Him. For the challenge, I would like to share the birthday card I made for one of my father-in-laws. The card was fun to make and it is also easy to mail...yay!
All the card stock used is Kraft card stock. I used Spellbinders Gold Rectangles One for the dry embossing and Tim Holtz distress inks in Peacock Feathers, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain for the colors. The fantastic quote on the front is from Quietfire Design, How Old Would You Be. Isn't it great?
The inside is more inkiness and the sentiment is from Quietfire's Happy Family Days.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a wonderful week!
Hugs,
Kathy Jo

Hello again!
This is my second post today! It is my first day to post as a design team member for Quietfire Designs. I shared a link earlier to my Mother's Day card. This post is to share a quick photo and a link to the birthday card I made for my dad. The card uses the Quietfire stamps sets How old would you be and Happy Family Days stamp set.
For more details on the card, please visit the Quietfire Design post. It will show the outside and inside details of the card.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Labor Day, Ma'ams and Sirs. <she says as she tips her cowboy hat with her two fingers>
I reckon it is another contest over at the Kraft Journal. Yesterday I rounded up my tools, lassoed some chalks and mowseyed on to my craft room...
Last week I received my package from Kraft Journal for winning the name the owl contest (Owliver). The package was full of so much happy Kraft goodness! I spread it all out on our dining room table and showed my husband. One item definitely caught his attention: the Wild West Stamp set! I have been wanting a cowboy themed stamp set for so long and there it was! Woot-woot! I took a peek at the upcoming Kraft Challenges, saw the next one was CAS and made this card.
The stamped image was from the Wild West set and the rope was also in Kraft package. I just tied a double knot and double stapled it to the front as shown. I created the sunset using 5 different chalks. For the inside I die cut two papers using my new Spellbinders set, Labels Thirty One. I stamped "Howdy Pardner" so that this could be an anytime card.
There you go, Buckaroos. My cowboy CAS card. Hope y'all liked it!
Hate to cut and run but I am mighty obliged you stopped by.

Hello Crafteteers!
A friend of ours is celebrating his birthday this weekend and he loves sailing so I thought I would use the JustRite CAS challenge sketch in a nautical theme for his card.
The card base is navy blue card stock. MME "Moments" mini paper pad provided the background paper and the large banner paper. I distressed the edges of the base white paper and the MME paper. I applied faux red stitches along the inside edges. JustRite banner die (SW-04415) was used on white paper and I used all those bits of scrap I saved from other precious MME paper to add color and pattern to the inside of each banner (yay scraps!). The Happy Birthday sentiment (JR set Anchors Away, CR-03710) was heat embossed in white on the large blue banner. The red corrugated paper (from an unknown supplier) was used to add some texture and height. Sprightly Sprockets (Spellbinders S5-048) was used on the yellow patterned Moments piece of paper and applied to the banner. The round anchor detail was from the Anchors Away stamp set. Bling gems were applied at will. :)
So there you go! The CAS Manly Nautical Birthday Banner Card. Hope you liked it!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Thank you for your much appreciated comments!

Happy Sunday!
My dad's b-day is tomorrow. I thought I would make a fun nautical card for him. He has never seen the ocean so he would think the theme would be neat. Perhaps seeing this card will convince him to come to the Atlantic (or Canada, even!). :)
The card base is made from Kraft card stock. JustRite stamp set Anchors away and background stamp, Victorian Tile were used as shown. Twine was sewn into the top of paper to add a bit more nautical feel. My precious scrap piece of gold paper was die cut using Spellbinders set Twisted Metal Tags and Accents. The card stock was trimmed in gold. Gold Stickles was applied to the outline of the Anchors Away die cut and also in the centers of the background stamp. The inside of the card used the Lifestyles Crafts Anchor embossing folder (for the local crafters: it was purchased at Carousel Stamps).
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
