Dad's Perfect Day

Today we wrap up our celebration ideas for Dads. We hope that you found inspiration from our talented design team.  We want to wish all the Fathers out there a very happy & special day this weekend!!

Laura Whitaker

Hello friends! Laura here with you today, we are still celebrating fathers, here on the Imaginisce blog and I wanted to create a page to document my husband's favourite past time, fishing!  Which he loves even more if one or more of our boys goes along with him!

The Par-r-rty Me Hearty collection has some great elements that worked perfectly for a fishing page!

I used an old sketch of mine as a jumping off point for my page, and had some fun with triangles and these great masculine colours!

I added stitching around each triangle for a bit of texture.

I love using tags on my pages, as they are a great way to add in a bit of twine, cutting one or two from the cut a part sheet in this collection is a super easy way to facilitate that!

The little fish puffy stickers couldn't be more perfect!

And this fun phrase, cut from the bar code strip of one of the papers is so perfect, too!

Supply List: Par-r-rty Me Hearty patterned papers, stickers and puffy stickers; Hemptique twine; American Crafts cardstock; Steadtler pen; Mr. Huey's mist.

Thanks so much for visiting!

Father's Day Cards

Are you in need of some fun & handsome cards for Dad? Then check out these great ideas below!!

Nathalie Leonelli

Hello, I am back here today to continue our Father's Day series. I have created two fun cards with the Parrrty Me Hearty collection:

Both cards were inspired by 3 tutorials I found on Pinterest and that you will find here on my Father's Day board.

This first one is for the pirate dad, or the cool dad with a sense of humor ;) The jacket is made with the “Jolly Roger” patterned paper and the bow with a piece of “Yo-Ho” paper:

Here's a look at the inside when you open up the jacket. I added the sentiment (stamped) on top of the shirt:

My second card is for the music loving dad:

Once again the bowtie is made with a piece of Yo-Ho” paper (the reverse side) and the suspenders are made out of “Sirens Song”.

For both cards, I simply added buttons and cardstock from my stash and used my 1-2-3 punch board from We R Memory Keepers to make the bowties. The first card measures 4x6 and the second 4x51/2 inches.

I am certain they would make any dad smile this Sunday but they could also work great for birthdays!

Supplies:

Imaginisce: patterned papers, American Crafts: cardstock (colored), We R Memory Keepers: 1-2-3 punch board, Scraptastic Club: stamp, Georgia-Pacific: cardstock (white), misc. buttons.

Happy Father's Day

We've got another week filled with some great Father's Day ideas and ways to celebrate Dads!

Katie Rose

Hi everyone! Katie here today sharing a layout celebrating Father's Day!

I dug deep into my photo archives for these photos of my husband and our boys on Father's Day 2008. I created a simple layout for these photos to shine. I used a grid design with four rectangles...two for the photos and two for journaling cards/embellishments. Here is a look at the layout:

I choose some masculine and fun papers for this layout. I love the dark blue anchor paper from the Parrty Me Hearty collection and paired it with the yellow striped and red dot from the Sunny collection. I cut two journaling cards from the patterned paper in Sunny and placed them on the grid and embellished them with arrows also cut from the patterned paper. The arrows point to the photos to draw your eye to them.

I

I added a couple other strips of patterned paper to accent the page and a simple line of handwritten journaling on the bottom.

Supplies Used:

Imaginisce: patterned paper ( Partty Me Hearty; Sunny); stickers (Sunny)

American Crafts: cardstock, Thickers, foam adhesive dots

The Best Dad Ever!

Our Parrrty Me Hearty collection has been a big hit this past week for our Father's Day theme and our DT have been knocking it out of the park!!!

Melissa Elsner

Hey everyone,

Melissa here with a couple of projects that will have dad feeling t-arrrrr-ific! Yeah, that was a stretch but, I had to get some pirate talk in because I used the awesome Parrrty Me Hearty collection! 

Here is the entire gift set and then, I’ll dive into all the fun details:

A card a box of treasure! For my dad, I will probably fill that box with his favorite nuts and snacks. I love how the plank paper worked perfect to create that treasure box. Let’s take a closer look, shall we?

I found the cut file shape in the Silhouette Store. After cutting it out, I had some fun embellishing it with foam jewels and lock. I’m always paying attention to the small details like, adding some layering and dimension to the jewels. 

For the die cuts hanging out behind the chest, I used a straw and adhered the two die cuts to the front. Super easy! What I didn’t think of, though, was that the lid can’t open all the way with it behind there. My tip to pass on to you, is put it on the side, instead of the back. 

There is one final surprise and detail to this treasure chest and that is what is inside. I love the stamps that come with each collection and though the x marks the spot stamp would be perfect!

Now, let’s move on to the card. I love getting inspired and gaining ideas from other projects for Father’s Day. But, I find so much about fishing and such and that is so not my dad. Then, I found an awesome tutorial on how to make an origami tie shape. Perfect! Here is how it looks on the card with the sentiment:

Doesn’t that look great? The minute I put it on the card, I was so happy. It really didn’t need anything else but, since I’m going with the pirate theme here, the skull was the perfect touch for the die. I used some black twine to attach it which, also added some texture. 

The sentiment took a little time to figure out. I didn’t want to cover the tie very much and so, opted to use letter stickers to spell out a cool phrase. And I do have the best dad ever. 

There you have it! A fun card and gift set all ready for my dad. I sure hope he likes it! Have a creative day!

Father's Day Card Set

Monique Liedtke

Hi everyone! Monique here sharing two fun (grand) Father's Day cards.

For today's cards I selected the Par-r-rty Me Hearty collection because of the fun die-cuts I wanted to use and in particular that pirate die-cut! 

Here's what I did: 

The size of both cards measures 4"x 6", so they'll fit in a regular envelope. 

I just love that angry parrot and those puffy gems stickers: 

And because the kids want to send a card to their grandfather too I created one for him as well. 

Supplies:

Imaginisce: patterned papers, puffy stickers, die-cuts (Par-r-rty Me Hearty). American Crafts: cardstock, Thickers.

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by our blog today! Have a great day!

xoxo
