JERSEY SHORE FATHER'S DAY

Today, I broke a record for myself ... I completed four cards and three of them were challenge cards! The way I did it was so easy, I almost feel like I cheated! My inspiration started with THIS CARD by Angie Tieman, schwooo!. Here is my version of Angie's card:
Every week, I wish for more time to complete three of my favorites challenges: Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge, Jen del Muro's Sketch For You To Try, and Julee Tilman's Mojo Monday Challenge. After completing the card above, I realized that I could use the same supplies for each of these challenges.

Here are the supplies I kept on my work station to complete the four cards...
Stamps: All Holidays
Paper: Jersey Shore DP, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Wild Wasabi, Brilliant Blue, and Bashful Blue CS
Ink: Wild Wasabi Classic Ink Pad, Pumpkin Pie and Brilliant Blue Markers
Embellishments: Brilliant Blue Brads and Pumpkin Pie Striped Grosgrain Ribbon
Tools: 1/4" and 1/2" Circle Punch

Supplies: Stampin' Dimensionals
Helpful Hint: When creating the circles behind the brads, poke the hole through cardstock with the paper piercing tool on the mat pack before punching the cardstock with the 1/4" and 1/2" circle punches.

This card is for Jen del Muro's Sketch For You To Try.
This card measures 4 1/4" x 4 1/4", and uses Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #43.
And finally, this card uses Julee Tilman's Mojo Monday #33 Sketch. This card also measures 4 1/4" x 4 1/4".
Thanks for looking!

Love them all! You have really made me want this kit! Fabulous cards...I think I'm partial to the one done with Jen's sketch, but if I look again, I'll change my mind.

haha! Had to come back and look at these AWESOME cards again! I'm so glad I got this DP the other day...now I can SERIOUSLY CASE you...hehe!

Karen Kelly said...

Fabulous! I've used this paper a lot and it's funny because when I first saw it I didn't think it was 'me'. Of course, I realized I don't make card for myself and this paper is great for kids' cards, masculine cards...all kinds of cards! :-)

Anonymous said...

Well how cool is that!?! I love it! My creative limit seems to be about 2 projects a day, then my brain is fried and the creative juices just stop flowing. I'm totally CASEing these by the way!!

Jessie/knightrone said...

Can you say....FABULOUS!!! You really rocked all three sketches!! Awesome job on these!!!

Dottie K. said...

I love, love these father's day cards. Who says masculine cards have to be dark and distressed. These are perfect.
