Father's Day Gifts

I'm a little bit slow to get these pictures up here, since father's Day was at the beginning of the month and now it's nearly the end of the month. Well I guess it has been busy lately...

Note pads & boxes of bullets (chocolate-licorice bullets that is).

I tried to make a few extra for the school Father's Day stall, but I forgot to take photos of them all.
Stamps: Amazing Birthday & Simply Stars.
Colours: Gumball Green, Midnight Muse, Whisper White & Summer Starfruit.

Stamps: Amazing Birthday, Simply Stars, Gorgeous Grunge & Back to Basics Alphabet.
Colours: Gumball Green, Midnight Muse, Whisper White & Summer Starfruit.
Punches: Sm Tag & Lg Tag.

Instead of giving our Dad's an actual card, we just wrote them a birthday message in the note pad.
They also got a box of yummy Chocolate - Licorice Bullets too...

This was an old instruction page I had drawn up for a workshop quite a while ago, so I apologize for the roughness & lack of details. If I demonstrate the project first, I give this type of instruction page to help everybody remember the measurements.

NINJAGO Card & gift tag

I find it a bit more difficult to come up with boys birthday cards, until I remember that boys like some characters that are easy enough to apply to a card & and tag. This card & gift tag are inspired by Ninjago, & of course the present wrapped up underneath the card & maltesers is Ninjago too.

Ninjago present, card & tag.

The eyebrows were made with the Owl punch, a bit of tweaking & practice. The "Happy Birthday" speech bubble was also made with the Owl punch, using the body & cutting off an ear. I also added some Versa Mark marker to give some shadow effects.

I used the sm & Lg Tag punches, plus Owl punch eyes to make this tag. I was hoping  it would resemble a  Lego head with the "happy birthday" stamp as the mouth. Of course the birthday boys favourite chocolate is maltesers. Yum.
