Hello Helmar fans! I hope everyone is having a great spring almost summer in quarantine! One has to make the best of things with all going on! I have found that crafting has been a great outlet for me for my depression and now with what's going on in the world. So this month I decided I would create some masculine cards for Father's Day! One for my husband, my son in law and father in law! I do hope they will like them! I will be creating some matching envelopes!
On these cards I began by cutting 2 pcs of American Crafts textured card stock in black to 5.5 X 5.5 & one Recollections brand kraft card stock. I scored them using Martha Stewart Score board then I decided to use the paper from Tim Holtz Dapper paper pad in which I hadn't used in a while. I cut different papers for my 1st layer and adhered them using the Helmar Tiger Grip Glue . I inked the papers that I would layer on top using Tim Holtz distress inks in black soot and vintage photo using the same glue to adhere those . I only did the layering on 2 of the cards.
I then used the Helmar Scrap Dots to adhere the die cuts . I used some other Tim Holtz papers from Collage 8 X 8 paper pad to cut the die cuts I used for all of them. Those dies I hadn't used in quite a while either, the three that I used were the Sizzix Bigz Dies, Umbrella Man, Regal Crest & Old Jalopy. I also used the Helmar Scrap Dots on one of the sentiments
As you can see the areas that the Helmar Scrap Dots were used. I took a photo of each of the cards to show just this because this products on one of my favorite products!
I hope that you enjoyed my short post compared to what I normally post here! I must say creating masculine cards is a little challenging because I didn't want to over embellish them but I did enjoy creating these and it reminded me how much I love the "vintage" feel on projects especially using Tim Holtz products! I hope that everyone is staying safe and staying home and hopefully this will pass soon and living in quarentine won't be our new norm. Till next month crafty friends!!
Hugs,
