Our Stampers By The Dozen theme this month is Father’s Day so I chose cowboy boots from the Country Livin’ stamp set for my dad themed projects. This is one of my most used set for masculine cards, you can see the truck card that I previously shared here.
My father passed several years ago so I made this card to give to one of my two sons this Father’s Day. My other son will be receiving a card with the truck on it. The colors I used for this card are; Cajun Craze, Early espresso, and Very Vanilla for the cardstock. I used a retired embossing folder for the texture, I’m sure you have it!
Did you notice that the mats behind the boots don’t meet up? I think it adds a little more spunk to the card. The twine that I used is coming out in our new catalog on June 2nd, it’s Crumb Cake found in the .
In coloring the boots, I first water colored with my Aqua Pen and Crumb Cake ink and followed up with a bit of Cajun Craze for more of a leather look. I am sure my son is going to love this card.
Did you see that adorable nugget box I also made? It holds 2 Hershey Nuggets inside. In the close up you will notice I wrinkled the paper a bit to give it more of a leather look. Want to know how I made it?
Stamp 2 sets of boots using Memento Jet Black ink onto Crumb Cake cardstock. Cut 1 side of one of the pair of boots. Line up the second pair along this edge and continue cutting out both pairs at the same time. Next, take a piece of 2” x 4 ¼ crumb cake cardstock. Score it along both long ends at ½”. Score at1 ¾ & 2 ½. Fold on all score lines and clip the 1 ¾ & 2 ½ lines up to the ½ score lines on both sides. Use Tear & Tape to assemble and fill with 2 nuggets.
My granddaughter saw the boots filed with candy and wanted them to give to her dad. She told me she wouldn’t eat the candy until she gave them to him! I think I will make a few, tuck them in a small cello bag and give out to our waiter and other helpers on Father’s Day.
I hope you are enjoying this month’s Stampers By The Dozen Blog hop. You could even make your dad or children a few pairs of boots without breaking the bank this year!
