Hail to the Male

Hello. I hope everyone had a great weekend. I wanted to share a few quick projects I made for the Crafty Secrets June Linky Party.  This month's theme is a tribute to to the boys so I decided to wrap up a few Father's Day cards and tags that needed to get done.  

Sandy is offering up a great prize package to one lucky winner so be sure to stop by and link up a project.  ONE of the prizes is their handsome Barber Shop Digital Kit.  The bow tie paper and the dapper little guy below come in the kit but everyone who participates in the linky gets to keep these sweet little images free of charge. 

I used Papertrey Ink's Scene it Basic Backer Die and their Skyscapes Dies to create the backdrop behind this little gentleman.  Isn't he the cutest?  I used Inktense Colored Pencils on him...I love, love, love my pencils!

Oddly enough, I don't own ANY Father's Day stamps which is terrible since I am married to the most amazing man and father of three.  I will have to rectify that later but for now, I just typed up a sentiment in MS Word and cut out.

Such a handsome guy...

For the tag and flower, I used a variety of papers from the Barber Shop Kit.  I couldn't wait to see who wins the linky so I went ahead and purchased from their store.  It was just too cute to pass up.

I used vellum on the chevron paper to soften it a bit and then adhered some Sizzix cut letters and added a sentiment from PTI's Mini Blooms stamp set.

 

The 'man'liest flower ever made :).

For this card, I decided to make a shirt.  My little one loves this so I am not certain she will be able to hold off giving it to her Dad until Father's Day.  Again, I used papers from the Barber Shop Kit and the sentiment from PTI's Mini Blooms.  

 

Thanks for looking!  Get crafty.
