Rubber Stamping & Card Making with Yapha

Now that Mother’s Day is over, I’m switching modes and gearing up for Father’s Day with some masculine cards. Today’s Mojo Monday sketch lends it self perfectly to this.

I left the scalloped edge off the bottom to make it a little more masculine. I also thought about putting glitter on the beer foam, but wasn’t sure if that would take away from the manliness of the card, so I left it off. This would be great for a birthday or Father’s Day.

Stamps: Cheers to You
Ink: More Mustard, Not Quite Navy, Chocolate Chip
Paper: More Mustard, Not Quite Navy, Whisper White, Good Morning Sunshine DSP

Thank you so much to all of you went on the Parade of Papers blog hop this past weekend! I know I had a fabulous time looking at all of the amazing projects and ideas, I hope you did too!

As promised, I have tutorials for two of my projects to share with you. The first one is for the mini fold out scrapbook.

I found this wonderful tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers, in their resources section. I made a couple of modifications, though. The only coasters that I had were 3.5″ so I made my first piece of card stock and designer series paper were 9″ by 3.5″ instead of 4″ x 10″. I followed the rest of the instructions that they had.

The second project I promised a tutorial for is this super cute stationary bag.

I found this tutorial on Kimberley Morris’s blog. I made a few modifications to this as well, since I was using the textured cardstock to make it, not one 8.5″ x 11″. My front and back pieces were still 8.5″ x 4.5″ but the two side pieces I changed to 2.5′” x 4.5″ and scored them at 0.5″ from each of the three sides. I just wanted a little more room to work with. The piece of designer series paper on the front measures 6.75″ x 3.75″. I love these little totes and will definately be making packs of cards in them for all of Eve’s end of the year teacher gifts!
