Father's Day Cards Details

     I'm back! This time I want to share the details on the cards I made for Father's Day. The first one is Cricut-free...I just used a design paper that goes well with the theme. It's gray and black with gears. It's from Tattered Time by DCWV. I stamped "FATHER" using  Papertrey Ink's Mega Mixed Messages set. I used a brad that looks like a screw to embellish the title. Simple and quick.

Collection.

The "screw"- looking brads add to the manliness of the design.

   

      The rest of the cards have some Cricut on them : ) Read on...

This is from Wrap It Up, card feature. I've always wanted to
experiment on mustard and dark blue colors.

Cameo from Victorian Romance. Title cut from Heritage.

Cameo and title from Heritage.

Title from Celebrate with Flourish. Flowers from Recollections.
Ribbon is a generic Micahels brand.

     The cards were very easy to create. It's the colors that were more challenging for me. Perhaps because I don't use them as often. But, they're just as fun to work with! Thanks for peeking!

Father's Day Cards Mania

     It's Cards Mania once again! I had to take a break from the summer or luau themes to make way for another important occasion in our lives...Father's Day! 

     I made 5 cards. I challenged myself to use different color combinations to see how they'd come out. So far so good : )

An overview of my latest projects

     The next photo shows one of the cards in which I used a left-over banner piece from Ysabella's birthday last April. I was actually looking through my paper stash when I saw this and I figured, I can dress it up and convert it to a card! I scored the top layer about 1.5in. from the top before glueing that part to the top of the banner base (kraft). I was able to create the "card fold" in that manner. The message or greeting can then be written on the banner base (see next photo). I wanted to put a flower to make the piece prettier but I didn't want it to look so girly so I chose vanilla and blue colors to do that. The "#1 Dad" comes from "Celebrate with Flourish" Cricut cartridge.

     Here's how the banner card opens up. I hung it on a little door knob to show you another way to present it. This way the recipient can take it to work and proudly hang it somewhere in his office!

The message can be written on the banner base.
It can also be hung anywhere in the house to surprise Dad!

      

     Here's the rest of the cards...

Love, love, love the Cameos!

    

      I'll show individual photos of the cards on my next post. So hang in there!

Thanks for coming,
