I’m so excited to share that I’ve been asked to join the TGIF Challenge Design Team! I love designing cards that inspire you to get your products out, and start crafting. It’s fun having the challenge as a parameter for a starting point. This week’s theme challenge is “for a special guy.” Are you thinking Father’s Day? I am! Plus, my husband’s birthday is in June. Clicking on this picture will take you to the TGIFC site where you can enter your project. 

The new, Waterside Retreat Suite is perfect for the men in our lives; the subject, the sentiments, and the colors! I began my design by cutting a cabin scene from Waterside Retreat Designer Paper with a Spotlight on Nature Die, and backed it with Cardstock for thickness. 

Father’s Day Retreat

Next, I cut a background of horizontal striped, Waterside Retreat Designer Paper, 3 5/8″ X 4 7/8″, and layered it on Old Olive Cardstock, 3 3/4″ X 5″. Then, I used a Spotlight On Nature Die to cut a circle in the striped paper.  After gluing the striped background to a Peaceful Pine card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I glued the cabin scene in the hole, making it “inlaid.” 

“Happy Father’s Day” is from the Relaxing Waterside Stamp Set. I stamped it in Pecan Pie Ink on Waterside Retreat Designer Paper, used a Words & Wishes Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. The oar and fish were fussy cut from the Waterside Retreat DSP, and the reeds were cut with a Relaxing Waterside Die from three colors of cardstock: Peaceful Pine, Old Olive, and Pecan Pie.
