Happy (interactive) Father’s Day

Posted on May 11, 2015 | 3 comments

Hi everyone!

My card today features a cute little Chubby Chum Pal bear from Paper Smooches, and guess what he’s doing? He’s wearing Daddy’s hat. Of course it’s too big for him.

And he’s playing peek-a-boo.

The hat swivels on a hidden brad. I used new Man Hat die with Pebbles Happy Day patterned paper. (I love the tiny feathers!)

He was stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copic markers. The sentiment and pale mustaches around him are from Daddy-Yo stamp set.

Thanks for visiting today! I’ll be back tomorrow.  🙂

DIY Magnetic Frame – a tutorial

Posted on May 11, 2015 | Leave a comment

I have a fun project to share today using Crate Paper‘s Confetti collection and a plain wood frame.  🙂  (Tutorial HERE.)

MF-Final-Lrg3-K

I hid a thin metal sheet behind the paper background so photos and/or keepsakes can quickly and easily be switched any time.

MF9-Magnets

Coordinating chipboard accents were used to create cute magnets to hold photos in place.

And Confetti dies were used to create big, beautiful layered flowers.

MF-Final-Collage3

For added versatility, I adhered a magnetic sheet to the back of an embellished pocket where additional photos, tickets or small flat keepsakes can be kept.

You can find a complete list of supplies as well as a step-by-step tutorial HERE on the Craftsy blog.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
