Father's day cards

I was in a rush to make a couple of  Father's day cards last weekend since I hadn't had time to get around to it before.  I saw this cute mountain card on Soapbox Creations and since my dad loves nature and the outdoors I thought it'd be perfect for him.  I got to work finding some clip art online and used my Silhouette portrait to cut out the mountains, "forest" of trees and sentiment.  If you'd like the cut file, leave a comment with your email address and I'd be happy to send it to you.  :)

For my Father-in-Law, the soda drinker, I came across this card with a soda can and thought of him.  So I found a soda can clip art and used my Silhouette portrait to cut it out as well as the text.  

So there you have it, two fairly quick and easy Father's day cards that got rave reviews.  Thanks for stopping by!

The latest

Hello again...

I've been away for awhile... we moved and I'm just getting set up in my new crafting space and getting around to uploading photos, etc. Hope your summer is off to a good start.  

I made this cascading card for my mom for Mother's day.  I can't seem to find the tutorial I used, but this one is very similar.

Next, I made this doughnut birthday card for my father-in-law who loves doughnuts.  I used  this card as my inspiration.  I saw a technique where you use press-n-seal wrap to help glue down small items, so I tried that for the "sprinkles" on the doughnut and it worked perfectly.  No glue all over my fingers or where I didn't want it on the card.  I just cut out a circle with my circle dies and a smaller circle in the center, repeated on a lighter shade of brown paper, and then used a scalloped circle to make the "bite" out of the doughnut.

 ...and lastly I made this for my brother's birthday.  I had been furniture shopping the day before and decided on a color scheme of navy and grey with a possible pop of yellow, so obviously I was still thinking in those shades when I made this card.  I found the tutorial for it here.
