Good Morning….guess what is Sunday – YEP, It is Fathers Day and I have a quickie card idea that I CASED from Tami White. I thought was a cutie for Fathers Day! Who doesn’t like something that is quick and cute – all at the same time!
Last month, Tami White was the guest speaker for the PALS Monthly Webinar Meeting and she was fantastic. After the call I went to her blog and found this super cute card. I know that I do not do a bunch of Punch Art…..(because I am not the best at it…..just sayin’ ) but I always appreciate and am in awe of those that do it so naturally!
She did a great video showing the in’s and out’s of making this card….so I will not be going into the details – you can CLICK HERE and watch it…..very straight forward and below you will see the changes I made.
- I made the black a bit smaller, I like the look of a wee bit of black matting and then let the WHITE pop!
- I used vellum for the smoke and lightly sponged the Smoky Slate Ink
- I sponged the clouds in Soft Sky to give them a bit of depth
- The sentiment is from All Things Thanks Stamp Set…..I loved the font!
- The envelope FUN is from the Pick a Pattern DSP and a wee strip of Cherry Cobbler.
I hope that this made you smile and it was SUPER FAST to put together and after all….it’s a work of ART made from YOUR HEART so it will be loved!
See you tomorrow…….enjoy the day!
Oh yes, very cute Susan! Hope all is well with you. Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads in your family.
🙂
Dittos back to you and that hubby of yours!
Great CASE. Love your choice of vellum for the smoke. Will have to remember this for next year for my Girl Scouts–perfect for kids to make. Thanks for the inspiration.
Have a great Father’s Day weekend.
SUPER IDEA – Girl Scouts would love to make this. I would definitely use glue dots….these are easy for them to use…have fun!
Adore this sweet little BBQ pit, smoke & all, Susan! And want to let you know I got my paper share and you do an awesome job on them, thank you for that as well, my friend!
Hugs always,
Sharon
TOUCHDOWN….so glad that your Happy Mail came!
Great Father’s Day, or celebrating summer card!!! I follow Tami quite often…..talk about energy!!!! ?
Have a great weekend and John a great Father’s Day!!
You are soooo right…this would be a great summer card….heck – if you went to someones house for a BBQ – this would make an adorable thank you card! YUM….I love anything from a grill!
Really cute card. I love how you used vellum for the smoke – looks more like smoke. Thanks for sharing
I had vellum out that I was using for another project and thought….hmmm – let’s give it a try! Thanks for popping in!
Holy smoke this is cute! I had seen the grill before but I think the addition of the smoke is new to me. Besides screaming fire, it screams fun! This would have been perfect for Mike in his earlier days as he loved his Weber grills – I think he wore out a couple of them! Now, he is more into the smoker thing. I love the part for the hinge for the lid – too much fun. Of course I like the clouds as a fun touch too. Well done as well as that cute envelope!
HOLY SMOKE BATMAN….I hear you….my 86 year old Dad just bought a new grill….and I loved his comment – well I have bought many a grill in my time – the staple of a great meal!
Yay for Vellum smoke ! How clever !! This is very cute !
I think I will make some July the 4th cards with this idea .
I have already made my SIL`s FD cards (yay for Wood dsp )
This is the cutest !
You are sooooo right…that wood DSP is just a beauty to work with! Yeah for YOU in being so ON TOP OF IT!
Hi Susan! I love your vellum smoke! I made this card for Father’s Day, too! Did you see it? http://karenhallam.blogspot.com/2017/05/bbq-for-fathers-day.html I thought Tammy was very clever! Cute, cute, cute!
Karen, I don’t have any of the acct. types to leave you a comment on your blog. But I wanted to tell you that your card is just too cute too. The grass really added another touch of dimension. I think I like the thinner legs on the grill too, I guess that is what scissors are for – to cut them down!
I agree…so cute!
Thanks, Chris!
No I did not but thanks for sharing….the grass is OVER THE TOP….how fun!!! I truly feel challenged with punch art but this idea just tickled my fancy.
Tami is such a hoot. I was hoping to find the video from our meeting but couldn’t – that was just the funniest! Thanks for popping in!
Thanks again Susan for showcasing this card. I can make a friend of Mike’s a surprise birthday card since he is “King of the Grill!” and he can leave it on his car in the parking lot. I have a few days to perfect the legs on the grill before Tom’s birthday. I am sure Mike will roll his eyes when I tell him to leave it on Tom’s car as a surprise.
Adorable card.. love it!
Adorable! Perfect card for FD or a summer bday. Thanks Susan!
From the queen of punch art – I am sure you giggled…..
p.s. – I asked John – what is this…..his answer a grill or a Pac Man!!!
STOP . . . the smoke coming out of the grill is insanely clever!
It’s smokin’…just like YOU!
Love this version with the vellum as the smoke. Such a fun and easy card!!
