Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: DAD ATC Card with Adhesive Sheets

Today on Father's Day, I am up on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Blog. Although my dad is not with me, I am always happy to CELEBRATE HIM :) A card wouldn't do so I decided on an ATC (Artist Trading Card) using mostly Adhesive Sheets to put it all together.

**I receive products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and Spellbinders® Paper Arts for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use :) **

Instructions:

1. Cut patterned paper into a custom ATC size (4.0 x 2.875 inches). Normally they are 3.5 x 2.5 inch - I like to be different ;)
2. Apply Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6" on the back of patterned paper and copper + white foil paper. See video at the end of instruction on the how to.
3. Die-cut patterned paper with alpha dies to spell out "DAD."
4. Die-cut copper and white foil paper with gears steel rule die.
5. Adhere to the ATC as shown in photo. Excess can either be cut or dust talcum powder to alleviate the stickiness.
6. Add metal gear piece with Dodz Adhesive Dots 3D (the exposed area will be covered by a photo).
7. Color copy a photo and cut to 1.625 x 2.125 inches. Adhere with E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser. The vintage photo is of my dad as a Japanese high schooler :)
8. Punch a hole with a paper piercer in the ATC and add metal embellishment with matching brad.

ScrapMart: Father's Day Box

Tomorrow is Father's Day...for me and others who have lost their fathers, it's a day of mixed emotions. So tomorrow, I will think HAPPY thoughts of mine and celebrate the day :) For starters, I created this cute box out of 7 1/2 x 10" patterned paper...I'll give you the link at the end of the post :)

Father's Day Box by Margie Higuchi
Supplies - Patterned Papers: Tim Holtz (Crowded Attic Collection); Ink: Ranger (Distress Ink/Tim Holtz); Dies: Spellbinders Paper Arts (S5-048 Sprightly Sprockets; S4-357 Spiral Blossom Three and Jewel Tones & Precious Metals Premium Craft Foils Assortment); Adhesive: ScraPerfect (The Best Glue Ever); Other: Brad, Sand Paper

I enjoyed this project as it uses only one 12 x 12" paper...even the band can come from the same piece of paper (this one I used from another box I made...I did alot of them! LOL!). These step outs give you an idea of how easy it was! I even managed to sneak a flower in the project ;0P

The instruction details and video came from Dawn's Stamping Studio Surprise Box Video so visit her blog! Looks like she has a lot of fun creations :)

ScrapMart: Dad

I had this huge pad of Graphic 45 A Proper Gentleman Collection sitting in front of me and I thought what a perfect father's day card to create with! So I started with a shaped card base by cutting and embossing with Spellbinders™ Nestabilities® Postage Stamps dies.

Dad by Margie Higuchi
Supplies - Cardstock: Darice; Patterned Paper: Graphic 45 (A Proper Gentleman Collection); Stamp: JustRite Stampers (You Are The Best set); Ink: Clearsnap; Paint Pen: ZIG Kuretake; Pin: Maya Road; Gear: Idea-ology/Tim Holtz; Dies: Spellbinders Paper Arts (S4348 Postage Stamps, S4-291 Labels Fifteen, S5-048 Sprightly Sprockets and S5-028 Nested Pennants); Adhesive: ScraPerfect (The Best Glue Ever); Other: Button, Shrink Plastic

I used shrink plastic to cut and emboss the gear in Sprightly Sprockets and colored with silver paint pen. It looked really shiney so I inked with brown chalk ink and it worked well! Layered all the pieces together to create a wonderful Father's Day card!

Happy Father's Day!

Can't believe it's the middle of June...where did the time go?! You can tell it's June...end of school, beginning of summer school, my birthday, all the graduation parties (WHEW!) and Father's Day!

So today I just want to wish my father and the father of my children - A WONDERFUL FATHER'S DAY!! Thanks for all you do to make our lives that much better!! LOVE YOU TONS!!

About two week's ago, I created a card with dad in mind for Spellbinders™ blog and loved how it turned out...metal and all! If you're interested in the steps on how to do this, click HERE.

Today we have church services. After we get back home, I'm off to phone my dad to catch up with him (and mom, of course). Then a quiet (?) dinner with the family.

Hope you get a chance to appreciate your dad today!
