His and Her Day

I had so much fun this weekend creating His and Her cards with Paper Smooches that I just had to try it out again. This time I used Lawn Fawn's Dad's Day. these came together just as easily too. Since I wanted to play with this fun tiny stamp set, I decided to play along with Lawnscaping Challenge too: Clean & Simple. Some days I struggle with the white-space CAS cards and other days it comes a little easier. No matter what, I do seem to gravitate towards them, lol.


Her card (because it's ladies first don't 'cha know, lol)

One thing I love about this set is how easy it is to cute out the images. I wanted a nice cool and relaxing color scheme for this card and thought blue and grey would be perfect. I stamped the chair on some white c/s and then cut it out and put foam tape on the back. Before I taped it down I placed it to see where I wanted the grey shadow/rug to go. Once I figured that out I simply shaded with my copics and then taped the chair down. The upper corner was put together with washi tape and one of the sentiments from the set stamped onto a vellum banner. I used the washi tape to "tape down" the banner. To bring it just a hint of girly I simply added some bling...still trying to perfect that whole random bling thing.


His card (because he's a gentleman and let the lady go first):

Another CAS one. This time I used kraft and vanilla with a touch of blue. This one used the other sentiment, the mustache, and the tie. Again, these images were so easy to cut out (LOVE that). To give this CAS card a little umph but not be busy or girly I simple popped up the images like I did with the chair in the above card. I also added some brown stitching around the vanilla base to help frame it. As a bonus, I now have a father's day card done (one down and three more to go).
