Happy Father's Day BookMark, Coffee Beans June 2020

Welcome Back Friends,

Robin here with the Lady Beans Blog, sharing my project using the most adorable image  Jesse Boy Bear, from  Bug A Boo Stamps , for Fathers Day.

My father has been gone for 22 years, I miss him everyday.  He was an avid reader, and hence very smart.  I know how much he would of loved my bookmark !!

I colored my image with colored pencils, fussy cut the bear out. Inserted pattern paper, that I stamped Happy Fathers Day onto, and then inserted that into the bookmark sleeve, and then adhered Jesse Boy Bear to the front of the bookmark. I love the dimension with the image on the outside of the sleeve.

Thank You for visiting and as always I appreciate your kind comments

Until Next time....

Jesse Boy Bear

Father's Day is this Friday here in Denmark. It's the same day as our Constitution Day....figures ;-) 

Well all Dads deserve recognition for their devotion, love and hard work but sadly I lost my Dad several years ago, so I will have to make due with sending a loving thought to where ever he might be.

I might not get to send him this card but I made it anyhow….maybe it more fitting for my kids to give to their Dad but no matter what - I made for Father's Day :-)

I used the darling Jesse Boy Bear Digi Stamp from Bugaboo Stamps:

This time I used the same technique as last  - the Print and Cut function. I thought it would save me some time.....LOL....NOT!

If I choose to do this another time, I need to make sure I have the right patterned paper I want because I spent a lot of time searching for some but found this at Creative Fabrica.

I wanted a watercolor look - so it looks colored in. 

I also made the shaped card with  my Silhouette Cameo. Simply by making an Offset of the stamp, duplicate the offset and flip the duplicate horizontally. Then I overlap the two offsets, weld them together and make a scoreline down the middle. Very simple and easy.

I did not make a sentiment to put on the card - simply in case I choose to use it for something else.

Happy Father's Day to all Dads out there and thank you so much for stopping by.

Jesse Bear Celebrates Bonus Dad's Day

This cute little bear is named Jesse. He is a Digi stamp from Bugaboo Stamps Today Jesse is helping me celebrate Dad's Day for a special dad.  My real father passed away 23 years ago. I have Bonus Dad. He has been a great part of my mother's, my children's and my own life for the last 15 years. He has been very supportive for our lives. He has given much love to the family as if he always has been from the beginning.  The base is an A2 size card made from Whisper White card stock. Layered with Real Red and Whisper White and then Real Red again.  The last layer of Real Red was sprayed with Art Anthology's Colorations Spray in Gilded Gold to give it a little pop without girly glitter.  Jesse is colored with colored pencils in basic colors.  The sentiments were typed in word and printed out on Whisper White card stock since i really did not any stamp sets to commemorate Father's Day. Inside is a cute fun fold to make the sentiments pop that I just learned how to complete today.

The middle strip is 1 3/4 x 11 and score at 2 3/4 in, 5 1/2 in and 8 1/4 in.  Fold at the score lines to make a mountain fold.  Attach the strip to the bottom of the inside of the card right in the middle with strong adhesive.  then fold the strip down and add adhesive to the top portion of the folded strip.  Close the A2 size card to have the strip attach to the top. When you open the card, it becomes a pop up card.  The sentiments as I said before were hand typed by me, printed on Whisper White card stock and then cut out.  The Real Red backing for the sentiment are 2 1/4  in by 2 3/4 in.  I also sprayed them with the Colorations spray to give them a patterned look.  This card was very fun to make. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.  .
