Hello friends, it’s Ceal here. Today I am sharing a summer card with you.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 45 minutes
Directions: Gather your supplies. You will need a summer themed die set, layering stencils, three different shades of blue ink, a grip mat, a stamp positioning tool and a summer sentiment set.
Step 1: Using a blending tool and the first layering stencil, ink blend blue ink over the stencil. I used VersaFine Clair Paradise.
Step 2: Using a blending tool and the second layering stencil, ink blend a different shade of blue over the stencil. I used VersaFine Clair Warm Breeze.
Step 3: Using a blending toll and the third layering stencil, ink blend the third color of blue over the stencil. I used VersaFine Clair Bali Blue.
Step 4: Using the “water” die and the finished panel of water, cut out the water for the pool.
Step 5: Using the “pool” die cut out the pool. Cut several but only use the pool outline.
Step 6: Stack the pool outline around the water, where the water will be lower than the sides to make it more realistic
Step 7: Cut out all the die cut pieces to place in the pool. For the girl I colored her with a Copic marker. The others are cut out of colored cardstock.
Step 8: Stamp and cut out the sentiment.
Step 9: Place all the elements in the pool and the sentiment on the side.

~Hello crafty friends! Today, we are going to make a masculine card style card for dads with a faux wood background and some layers. So, let’s get crafting!
Skill: Intermediate Time: 15-20 Minutes
Directions:
Step 1
Stamp the Typewriter Keys Caps alpha stamp set on a piece of white cardstock with the VersaFine Clair Pinecone ink pad.
Since I used the whole stamp set, I did not remove them from its acetate backing and added to the stamping lid and taped it.
Step 2
On another piece of white cardstock, stamp the typewriter image with the VersaFine Clair Morning Mist ink pad.
Step 3
Stamp the paper image with the VersaFine Clair Morning Mist ink pad on a piece of white cardstock.
Step 4
Stamp the word “love” in the middle of the stamped paper image with VersaFine Clair Morning Mist ink pad.
Step 5
Cut a piece of ivory cardstock into 4.25 inch x 5.5 inch.
Score the cardstock at ½ inch until the whole cardstock scored.
Step 6
This is the fun part… ink swiping to create the faux wood background.
Lightly swipe the ink over the scored cardstock, start with VersaFine Clair Sand Dune ink pad, and then use the VersaFine Clair Fallen leaves, and the VersaFine Clair Bali Blue ink pad.
Use a craft heat gun to dry the inks in between swiping to avoid the ink transfer to the different color ink pad.
Step 7
Use a tag die to cut the stamped alpa cardstock.
Add it to the faux background mat with On Point Glue.
Step 8
Fussy cut the stamped typewriter image and the stamped paper image with micro-tip scissors.
Add the paper to the typewriter with On Point Glue. And then add a little piece of white fun foam behind the paper using On Point Glue for a bit of dimension.
Add the whole image to the background mat with On Point Glue.
Step 9
On a piece of ivory cardstock, stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Clair Pinecone ink pad. Trim it into a banner flag, and then add some of the VersaFine Clair Sand Dune ink around it with a sponge dauber.
And then add a piece of fun foam behind the sentiment and the sentiment banner to the background mat with On Point Glue.
Step 10
Add the whole finish background mat to the card with On Point Glue. Press firmly for a few seconds to make sure the glue dries well.
Add the ribbon bow to the top of the tag with On Point Glue. Hold it for a few seconds for the glue to dry well in place.
The simple scoring and ink swiping techniques are a fun technique to try to add texture to the faux wood background.
I hope you like this masculine card idea and give it a try to make a card for a special dad figure in your life.
Thanks so much for stopping by our blog today. Have a wonderful day!

Add some of the foam tape to each word and add them to the page.
Add some of the foam tape under the wings also to give them a 3D effect.
Step 12 Dab some of the Memento Luxe Wedding Dress ink on the craft mat and spray it with some water.
