Blaze Your Own Trail

6/10/2021

Oh gosh, there's 5the cutest inspiration pic for this week's Cupcake Inspiration #520's Father's Day theme! Love that 'stache!
Now, it just so happens that my Da has a mustache like this, and so even though we're not supposed to take our inspiration cupcake TOO seriously, I couldn't resist bringing on the handlebars, lol. I still have my old Mustache die from 2014, and I combined it with the strongman from Guy Greetings (2018!) for my envelope, along with this cute sentiment from the current Ride the Range set - seemed apropos! I went ahead and put a Father's Day greeting inside from Guy Greetings while I had it out, too. Can't wait to send this one to Da!

You Are The World (& Man Cards Class June 12!)

Woo hoo! Hope you can get in on some "square" action with us at this week's Fab Friday #215!
Normally, I'm a real dud when it comes to odd-shaped cards, even square ones, lol. I'll usually just make tiny ones, like 4 1/4" square, so they'll still fit in a regular card envelope. But I was doing some stash-diving last week and came across a little stack of 6 1/2" square envelopes - no clue where these came from! That said, I decided to go for some bigger real estate today, and managed a full 6" x 6" card, made possible by also finding some old 12" x 12" CS hiding back there, too! When I spotted this perfect Dad sentiment in Best Year, I knew I wanted to try it with my Welcoming Window, which I thought would complement the square shape. Love it!
Can't wait to see YOUR projects this week - be there or be square! Wait, be square either way!

Manly Meadow

I'm excited by this week's "in the garden" challenge at The Male Room #136!
I ran straight to My Meadow for this one, I was thinking of the little wheelbarrow right away! I built a little scene with the barrow front and center, and used Pretty Peacock for my accents - love this In Color! I hunted around for a sentiment, and finally came across this one from Butterfly Gala - but I have a Happy Father's Day from the My Wonderful Family Paper Pumpkin inside - this card will be perfect for my Da - he has a HUGE 2 acre garden down on his ranch outside Austin, and I can just picture him out there puttering in the kale, lol. This'll be my hint to add some pretty flowers, too!

Dad to the Grill Rescue

Oo, excellent challenge at this week's The Male Room #113 - a cooking or baking theme! I know my sweetie is a master griller - that boy can cook!
This card is kind of a joke about something that happened here recently - a neighbor had a little trouble with a grill fire next door while we were out in the pool, and hubby ran over to help calm the inferno real quick - I've been teasing him ever since, lol. I figured I would use the Apron of Love for this card, but then I got the idea to use the Everyday Hero set, and gave him a grill toll instead, lol. We all need a grill hero sometimes!

With their usual perfect timing, SU Only #201 has a masculine/Father's Day challenge for us this week - excellent!
For this one, I couldn't resist grabbing my Everyday Hero set off the shelf when I was working on yesterday's Retro Rubber card - another fun guy set that just didn't get enough catty-time, so far as I'm concerned, lol. And I LOVE that this set has male AND female heroes, lol. Today, though, it's all about the dude! I wanted to take a few of our new colors out for a spin, too - surprisingly, Balmy Blue is growing on me, how about that!
Yay, Daddy (that's a our daddy pep rally cry around here, lol), you're the best - always!
Everyday Hero Stamp Set (retired-2017); Balmy Blue, Merry Merlot, Gray Granite & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Daffodil Delight, Balmy Blue & Merry Merlot Inks; #SUO201.

Super excited by another collection challenge at As You See It #177 - this one for the guys!
With the tree part of the collection, it just seemed natural to pull out our awesome new Rooted in Nature set, and some Wood Texture DSP to go with, lol. I tried to sneak in the other elements, and play with shapes and layering a little. Last of all, the UPS man came and brought my last order for me, which had my new Basics Adhesive Sequins - I thought these looked kind of Crumb Cake-y, so I added a few of those, too! Woo hoo!

Stampin' Manly Moments

We're trying something a little new over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday today - just in time to kick off June, we're doing a little "man card" blog hop for you to enjoy! I've repeated the links list below, so you can hop along and celebrate the guys with us!
For mine, I decided to show off an alternative card for the latest Paper Pumpkin kit - Manly Moments. How could I not go for it with a title like that?? I ruthlessly scavenged some parts from the kit to make this new set of layers on my own card base, and used some of the leavings to create a stencil for my envelope front (even manly cards can't have naked envelopes, lol.) I added some old Crumb Cake Taffeta Ribbon, and some old dark gray sequins to go with the touches of silver from the kit. Pretty, but manly, too, lol. The Pumpkin lives! Now hop along to Sara for some more dude-ness!

Love the simple elegance of this layout from Case This Sketch #270! I think it'll be great for In{k}spire Me #349's Mothers' or Fathers' Day challenge!
I decided to take on Father's Day for this one, and I wanted to try something punny that's been brewing in my mind for a bit, lol. One of my fave sheets in the gorgeous Tutt-Frutti DSP pack is the rich and yummy papaya sheet - YUM! And hey, "papaya" has "papa" in it, hmmm. Thus this card was born. Sorry, blame it on Dad Jokes! Happy Father's Day, baby!

We have a lovely iconic sketch from In{k}spire Me #334 today!
I decided to yuk it up today, and Dad Jokes was just right for it, lol. I can't decide which is funnier - the "cheesiness" of the jokes, or the fact that I've heard every single one of these from my own Dad. Or that our daughter now gets to enjoy them from her own father (Love you, hungry!) I tried to go with pizza colors, kinda, but in general, I kept it pretty low-key. I think I pulled it off - this is not an image heavy set, as it rightly focuses on the corn-ball, lol...

Stamp Ink Paper #102's masculine challenge is perfect timing for Father's Day! I bet I can make it manly with this layout from Freshly Made Sketch #291, too!
Today I settled on a little blend of old and new - my trusty Guy Greetings hasn't seen ink in a bit, and my new Tree Rings background stamp was giving me the hairy eyeball from my desk. So it just had to be, lol! I'm not sure that I've ever stamped this car from Guy Greetings, and while I initially planned to use the awesome truck from Country Livin', it was just too big. But it turns out I love this car, too! This will be a great Father's Day card for my Dad, and that's the greeting I put inside! Note: do I get strokes for refraining from adding sparkle or frippery? I better!
