Having recently lost my own dad, I know that some people might no longer have their dad around, or they might not have a relationship with their dad, or, maybe they don't have a dad.  Each of us has a different situation.  I was having a hard time thinking of a card to make and was not focusing.  But I think my dad sent me a message.  I still had my nautical sets sitting on my desk from the two cards I made the other day, which you can see { HERE }, and my dad was in the Navy in his youth and he loved to fish when I was a kid.  So I decided to go with a "nautical-themed" Father's Day card in his honor.  The creativity was flowing and I ended up making 3 cards.  Even if you don't have a "dad" to give a card to, maybe this card will inspire you to make a birthday card for that guy in your life that you look to as a dad, or a neighbor, or even ...

Hello everyone and welcome to my May 2021 Design Team project for  Anthony's Paper Craft .  This month's theme is "cards for guys" - nautical themed cards, masculine cards, birthday cards, and, the group project on the 15th is all about Father's Day.  The idea I had in my head was to use a map with blue cardstock.  Since I was going to use two sheets of paper and the die I used gives a negative and positive, I made 2 cards at the same time. This way everything I cut got used.   Let's start by making our card bases.  I made two top-folding A2 cards from white cardstock.  Then I adhered kraft cardstock to the front of each one.  I wanted a map and the color blue for the cards.  So I pulled out a blue sheet from the  Brights Cardstock Stack  and one of the map pages from The Maps, Text, & Ledgers Stack .  Because this is paper, I adhered it to a piece of kraft cardstock before cutting.   Then I cut eac...

Ahoy everyone!!  Summer is in full swing in the USA and other parts of the world and that means weekends on the beach, at the shore, and on a boat.  Not here.  We are in fall and it's a bit colder than normal for us.  But I still had fun making some nautical cards using this month's Stamp of the Month from  Anthony's Paper Craft  called " Nautical 1 ".   Each Thursday in June, different members of the Design Team have posted a "nautical" project using this stamp set and today it's my turn.  Links to all the other Design Team projects are at the bottom of this post.   To make this card, I used the following supplies -  Nautical 1 stamp set (Anthony's Paper Craft);  Maps, Text & Legers paper pad (DCWV) Faded Jeans distress ink (Ranger) Ink blender or makeup brush (Amazon) Stitched Circle Dies (Memory Box/30036) Dotted Die D-03-13 (Avery Elle) Ocean Border Die (Impression Obsession/DIE101...
