Father’s Day snuck up on me and I almost missed the opportunity to make my Dad a card and get it to him on time. That would have been tragic. As I considered Father’s Day what kept coming to my mind was that my Dad “is the BEST in ALL the world”. It’s something I used to say when I was a little girl and my Dad would teasingly sing me the song, “I Can Do Anything Better Than You” and we’d go back and forth singing the chorus. So, I decided to incorporate that into his Father’s Day card this year. Once again, I decided on an 6×6 easel card

Using my MISTI, I stamped the now retired Stampin Up, World Map stamp with Memento, Tuxedo Black dye ink and colored it with the following Pan Pastels chalks: Oxide Green, Turquoise, Phthalo Blue, and Burnt Sienna. Once colored, I put it back in the MISTI and stamped it again with VersaFine, Onyx Black ink so I could emboss it with what else but Mystic Fire embossing powder, to give it some Bling. I matted it on black glossy cardstock.

Next, I used the Sizzix, Globe diecut on glossy black cardstock matted to a Spellbinder, Standard Circle diecut as the backdrop for the outside sentiment. I didn’t have a sentiment for a Dad that included the world theme so I typed one on the computer and printed it on Stardream Metallic, Crystal 81 lb text cardstock, with my laser printer so I could heat foil it. I cut it out with a stitched circle Lawn Fawn, Stitched Circle diecut and attached it to the Globe cutout using dimensional foam tape. I utlimately, used dimensional foam tape to adhere the sentiment base to the card front as well.

For the inside portion of the easel card, I embossed the Stampin Up, World Map embossing folder and mounted it to black glossy cardstock. I used my MISTI and to stamp and emboss two of the sentiments from the Divinity Designs, Good Man Set. Finally, I used Diamond Stickles throughout the card front image to add more Bling.

I’m really disappointed that the Bling never shows up in pictures because this card’s Bling is impressive.
