Father's Day Card To A Great Dad

Hello Stampers! Vicky here today.

If you're a fan of those lovable, mischievous Minions and you're looking for a unique way to celebrate a great dad this Father's Day, make a Minion card! It's the perfect way to show your dad just how much you appreciate him, and the Minions theme is sure to bring a smile to his face. Check out the other Minion stamps that Crackerbox Stamps has. 

This card did not turn out the way I had expected it to. 

Have you ever had that happen?

I dropped an ink pad on the bottom of the white card AFTER all of the coloring was done. 

So, what to do...cut it off!

I mounted the cut-off card on a brown piece of cardstock.

So I wasn't sure what to do. I decided to use the bottom of the card for a flap.

I stamped the saying, Great Dad at the top of the card.

I added the saying, Special Part Of My Life.

I folded the brown cardstock up to meet the white cardstock.

Then I stenciled the bricks with a light brown ink.

Stamps Used:

Great Dad

Special Part Of My Life

Happy Carl

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Sheetload of Father's Day Cards | 12 Sketches, 24 Cards Series

Hello and welcome!  This is Shanna today with the next installment in my 12 Sketches | 24 Cards series!  This is a series in which I select a card sketch off the internet and create TWO (well-at least two!) versions of it using Crackerbox Stamps! If this is your first time reading about this--be sure to read all the way to the end for a recap of the series so far!  

*Warning* I might have gotten a bit carried away this month, and the following post is very photo-heavy!!

This month's sketch was sourced from a YouTube creator named CraftyAl.  She creates a monthly sketch that utilizes 12x12 paper to mass produce a set of cards!  I chose to use the April 2024 sketch to play along with my challenge this month! I was inspired to use the sketch and pair it with the brand new Father clear polymer stamp set--using the majority of the seed to create a fun set of cards!

The following stamps are featured in today's post:
*NEW* Father clear polymer stamp set
Snapdragon  
Fireworks
Pocket
Stars/Pixie Dust
Outhouse

When I Dunk
Alien Funny Face
Frame Rectangle
Super Guy

The way the sketch is designed makes it create 8 cards--which was a perfect way to showcase a new sentiment stamp set!  I loved going through my collection and pulling out stamps to match the sentiments!  I grabbed stamps I haven't used in a while and was so happy to pull back out again.  I kept the techniques simple with these--a little heat embossing and some tone on tone stamping.  

Here are some of my tips when mass producing cards:

• Pick a color way--that means if you are using pattern paper, stick within those colors and have a stack nearby of inks and solid papers to choose from when designing the card.
• Don't be afraid to turn the card!  Some of these sentiments or images just did not work for a portrait designed layout--so I turned it into a landscape layout instead!
• White pigment ink is your friend!  White is neutral, and will pull into nearly ANY design--I was stuck on a card or two until I pulled my trusty white ink pad out to play!

Ok--that pretty much sums up the key points--time to show you the cards!
