Loads of Fun

For the cards that I made for my daughters this year, I pulled out a oldie but goodie, Loads of Fun!  I always have so much fun when I use this set and the two accessory stamps sets that go along with it.  I found this card over on Splitcoaststampers, a free online community for stampers and crafters.  I did change it up just a bit but it is very close to the one I saw.

For this card I used Loads of Fun and Valentine Define.  For card stock I used Whisper White, Basic Black and Real Red.  Ink colors are Real Red and Blushing Bride.  I used a Black Stampin' Write marker to color in the tires and the truck bed rail.  Then I used the White Stampin' Chalk Marker for the wheel hubs, windshield, tail light and headlight, I then used the Silver Chalk Marker to color in the door handle and bumpers.  I fussy cut the pile of hearts and the truck out and use a exacto knife to cut out the side window.  I also used the retired Embosslit Heart for the red heart and retired heart punch.  The smaller hearts are from the Confetti Hearts Border.

I think they will like their cards!!  Mary

Loads of Fun

Well here is my card for today.  Now you are all probably scratching your head and wondering why I'm posting this card again.  Well this is just slightly different than the card I posted HERE.  Well this card is for a young boy, 8, who recently had open heart surgery and needed some get well wishes.  It was stated that he liked camping, so I knew this stamp set would fill the bill for a cute card for him!  What do you think?

I think the little guy will like it!  The stamp set is retired.  On this card I used the Woodgrain embossing folder to give it a more outdoors feel.  Also added some Linen Thread, just because.

Thanks for stopping by, see you on Friday!  Mary

Happy Father's Day 2012

Hi everyone!!  I hope you all are having fun with your husband's, dad's or anyone you consider to be like a father to you!

I wanted to share the card that I made to give to my dad.  He and my mom use to camp alot when I was in my early 20's and then when I had kids, they would go with them and I would tag along too.  Then we bought an old camper, that look pretty close to this one but was white and we would meet my parent's out at a local camp ground.  I don't know who had more fun, my dad or my kids! 

This is a retired Stampin' Up! set called, Loads of Love and also Loads of Fun.  When I stamped it I must admit I was alittle bit intimated by the thought of coloring this in and having it look nice, but then I knew my parents would not notice that and would focus on the image!  My mom said that it brought back alot of wonderful memories!

I used SU markers to color it in with and used Whisper White, Marina Mist and Crumb Cake card stock.  After I had the envelope sealed I realized I could have stamped the lady image looking out of the camper window, oh well, maybe next time!

Well, I hope to see you again soon, have lots of pictures on the camera to share with you!   Mary
