Happy Father's Day! (card)

Happy Thursday! Yesterday was a great day, we had Nicki's Graduation Ceremony and then the rest of the day just hung out.

So I decided to apply for a job, part time at the college. I did this over a week ago and I started to think for some reason that I wasn't going to get a call. I also applied at the animal shelter around the same time. I need a job to help pay for an unexpected financial situation that will come up next month. On top of that I want to save for our move next year. So as of yesterday morning I had not heard from anyone. Now on Monday I won an Elmer's Glue prize pack from a blog hop that was going on over at Nikki Sivils blog, I was EXCITED to say the least. I knew at that moment that good things would happen this week. LOL! Well yesterday I got the call from the college asking for an interview. I won't make much but they are willing to work around my schedule. So if I want to work a couple hours here and there in between classes and such then I can. I am SUPER excited. :-)

So today I have a card to share with you that I made for my dad. I used papers from Artful Delight's March monthly kit (sold out).





I used my Cricut and an svg file that I purchased from SVGcuts.com. Since I don't have many cartridges I usually purchase svg files from either SVGcuts.com or MyGrafico.com. There are so many cartridges out there that I want and I just can't afford to buy them. My next best alternative is buying individual files as needed from those two sites. :-)

I made a few changes to the card. Well nothing to the svg cuts just added some extra touches. I cut some clouds with my Cricut and used the as a mask for the sky. I used some removable adhesive, adhered them and then sponged around them with Broken China distress ink. Then for the patch of "grass" I just sponged some Peeled Paint distress ink.

For the inside of the card I used a font pre-programmed in my Cricut and welded the letters together.

I have to get this card in the mail today so it can hopefully (fingers crossed) can reach my dad by Saturday's mail delivery.

That's all I have for you today but be sure to stop by tomorrow because I will have a fabulous LO to share with you that DT member Debbie created. :-)

Happy Crafting!!

Happy Father's Day

Happy Friday! So excited the weekend is finally here. Can't believe today is my daughters last day of school and next year she will be an 8th grader. Time flies. So for today I will be sharing with you the card I made for my dad for Father's Day. Tony "drew" it in Inkscape and then uploaded it in Sure Cuts A Lot to cut on my Cricut. It made this card super simple.

I used a Chocolate Chip base and the DSP is from Stampin' UP! called To the Nines. I used some silver brads for the buttons and the collar. I cut the pocket out by hand and cut a sliver of cream satin ribbon to make the "handkerchief".

And there ya have it, my dad's vest card. I hope he likes it, I made his birthday card a couple months back and he liked it. It was pretty plain compared to this one so we will see.

Happy Crafting!!
