Premiere of The Write Stuff: Leave it to Dad + giveaway

Writing in all its aspects is important to us whether it is on a layout, pocket memory keeping, art journaling, a note or a tag on a gift.  The Write Stuff collection is perfect to help prompt journaling, add a message and use in various methods of paper crafting.  For The Write Stuff: Leave it to Dad we designed a set to help journal about your husband/partner as a dad, your dad, or to help chronicle how the little ones in your life feel about their dad.   Then of course there are great sentiments and images perfect for father's day or all sorts of gender neutral cards and projects.  Not only that, but it is also a wonderful companion to Parentville and is a ideal mate to The Write Stuff: Leave it to Mom (premiering tomorrow).

Julie

The Write Stuff: Leave it to Dad set is an awesome set to use and is so versatile!  Even though there are many DAD references in this set, you can create so much more with it.  I plan to use it in my Project Life pages and definitely for male themed cards like this one.

I started with the argyle pattern stamped in Stampin' Up! Whisper White Craft ink.  This stamp is designed for creating a repeating pattern and was easy to use.  Next, I added three banner strips all cut from my Basic Grey stash.  This is the Serenade collection 6x6 paper pack.  Yummy color combos!  I built the sentiment using the small words from The Big, the Bold and You set.  Our "Mr." and the sentiment is stamped on Stampin' Up! kraft paper with Versamark ink and then embossed with Lindy's Stamp Gang embossing powder is the beautiful color of Midnight Bronze Obsidian.  Finally, I embellished lightly with copper pearls by Queen & Co. and gems from TPC Studio's Ancestral color pack.

On a side note, I only just realized when I added my image to this post that with that copper embossing, our guy reminds me of a Lincoln penny.  Not my intention, but made me smile!

Shay

The Write Stuff: Leave it to Dad is all about Dad with some awesome images and sentiments that make masculine cards and many other types of cards a snap.  I had a vision of a military inspired card and wanted to incorporate The Write Stuff: Leave it to Dad with some new items I had bought.  As we like to say, Winnie & Walter plays well with others!  We love to see how versatile and easy Winnie & Walter designs are to use with other products.

On the background I used a Cover Plate (center stage) die from Papertrey Ink cut from patterned paper by Amy Tangerine/American Crafts.  In the alternating chevrons I stamped the little sentiments in green ink.  On the main image I used some dies from Papertrey Ink (from their MakeIt Market Kit: Luxe Letterpress).  Using some Distress Ink and Copics I colored it in.  I stamped the "dad" in Versamark and embossed in gold.  I stamped "my hero" several times.  For the seal again I started with another Papertrey Ink die.  I covered the die cut cardstock with Versamark and gold embossed it.  I did this 3 times.  On the 3rd time, I pressed the father circle stamp into the still warm embossing powder.  Under the seal I added some tails (actually a part of the negative of the cover plate die).  I distressed the seal a bit with black soot Distress Ink.  I adhered the seal to the main sentiment image.  The image was adhered with foam dimensional adhesive to the card.

Now, on to some sensationally creative and dynamic projects by Angie Tieman + The Talent.
