I decided to use my cameo, Jaded Blossom and Close To My Heart with my project! 
 

I LOVE this little shark! He is a Miss Kate Cuttables image that I bought from the sil store. I had these pre-printed chevron cards already that I bought from Michaels a while back. I added a white background that I embossed with my big kick. 


 I then took another white piece of cardstock that I stamped using JB's "Under the Sea" set that was just released. The sentiment was inked with ctmh's Lagoon ink. I also took that same color and added some color to the bubbles on both of the white mats. I added 3 fun droplets in seaglass color.


And to top off the card, I put the shark on a wobble! I love those things! 

Ingredients:

Miss Kate Cuttables Shark
Jaded Blossom "Under the Sea"
Sizzix Big Kick
Silhouette Cameo
Close to my Heart Lagoon Ink
Action Wobbles
Sea Glass Droplets

This is one of my top favorite pictures of my top favorite guys. I never had a dad when I was little. Mine bailed when I was about 1. I am so fortunate that my mom met Bryce (Buzz) who helped her raise all 4 of us. This picture was taken at my oldest sons 4th birthday (he is now 10!). Sadly, Buzz passed away 2 years ago this Christmas, but not a day goes by that I don't think of him. His favorite saying has always been, "every day above ground is a good day!". 


Onto my project :


 




 I have been dying to use Jaded Blossoms Mustache Dies and thought Father's Day was a great time to do it! I cut out 2 layered labels with my silhouette. The bottom layer I had in my scraps and the white I inked the edges to match. I made the bow tie to match the bottom layer as well. I then used JB's Flag Die for my sentiment, cutting off the one side of it to fit my card base. I inked that as well to match everything. The sentiment is from JB's Love Mustaches stamp set. The inside is stamped with a sentiment from their Father's Day set. 

I used these cards for a Father's Day card swap I participated in. I forgot to take a picture of the envelope but I put a piece of Mustache washi tape along the bottom of it and used a little mustache stamp on the flap from JB's Love Mustache's set. (wish I took a picture of that...it came out so cute!)

Ingredients :

Jaded Blossom Mustache Dies
Jaded Blossom Flag Dies
Jaded Blossom Love Mustaches
Jaded Blossom Father's Day
Close To My Heart Pear Ink Z2197
Close To My Heart Sky Ink Z2194
scrap paper from my stash
