Day 160: You Touch My Life Card for Step-Father and Lighthouse Card

For his step-father, my husband chose this dog stamp from the "For Father" set and the "You Touch My Life" verse from the "Set Sail" set, both by Stampin' Up! I used circle dies from Lifestyle Crafts to die cut the circle shapes.  I stamped the image and verse with Memento ink and colored the boots and dog with Copic markers.  I sponged a couple of different inks around the dog image. Striped background paper by Robyn Pandolph for Daisy D's. The rust card stock was from my stash; the Old Olive card stock is by Stampin' Up!

For my brother-in-law, I made this lighthouse card.  Stamp is from Repeat Impressions.  Card stock is Stampin' Up! I colored the image with Copic markers and used Sizzix die and the Big Shot to cut out the oval and frame.

Day 155: Selecting Stamps for Father's Day Cards

Tonight I enlisted my husband's help in choosing stamps to make Father's Day cards for all the men in his family: his Dad, his stepfather, his grandfather, one of his brothers (we need to marry the other one off!), and two brothers-in-law.  He picked a nice variety of stamps:  military for his Dad; dog for his stepfather; a tractor and a vintage car for his grandpa (not quite sure how I will design that one yet?!); a lighthouse for his brother; animals and a pocket knife for one of his brothers- in law, and a father and son stamp for the other brother-in-law. So, I guess I know what I will be doing tomorrow....making Father's Day cards.
