All about Dad's!

Good Morning!

This is Jen from 3 Cats and a Bug.  This week at Sweetsassydiva's; the theme is All about Dad's!  I can't wait to see what the rest of the design team comes up with, they are so creative!

I decided to make cards for my project.  I have 3 cards that I need to make for my family, including one I made for my Grandson to give to my Son.  I also made some extra's for a friend who asks for cards to sell.  I made two cards that just used stickers for my Husband and Dad, I will add "Happy Father's Day" to the bottom of the cards and give the cards to them while we are out fishing.

I made two different versions of the same cut in different sizes and added a banner to one of them.  I cut one at 4 and the other at 3 from Celebrate With Flourish.  The banner was cut from Carousel at 3.7.  I used pop dots to attach the banner and added some stitching with my white gel pen.  I also used my white gel pen on the lettering.  On some of the cards I added Glossy Accents to the number 1 to make it pop more.  I don't think it added much to it, which is why I didn't add it to all of them.

I made another card using Everyday Pop-Up Cards.  The beer mug was cut at 4 and Cheers! was cut at 1.  I ran the outside of the mug and the "foam" through my big kick with embossing folders.

I'm always happy when I can use up some of my scraps!  (I have 6 drawers full of scrap paper!)  I went through and picked out all my blue scraps of patterned paper and added them to the insides of all the cards and then my computer generated verse on top.

To make it easier on the eyes, the inside verse says:

A Place Just For Dad
We many not shower him with praise
Nor mention his name in song,
And sometimes it seems that we forget
The joy he spreads as he goes along,
But it doesn't mean that we don't know
The wonderful role that he has had.
And away down deep in every heart
There's a place that is just for Dad...

Thanks for looking!

Smile!

Hey there. This is Misty over at The Daily Scrapper. I made the Tea Pot Card on Every Day Pop Up Cards. I know I know It does not start with M but M is a pretty popular letter and so is L my middle name and last name. LOL So I went with E because my middle name is LEE. Plus it is my favorite letter.

The paper is all from a 6x6 Bazzil stack.

Here is the finished card front.

The front is a straight forward card front but I took a few pictures to try to explain the pop up part in the inside. I went with the word SMILE because my card is not an upright card and the tea cup is set for a stand up card.

Here is the pop up portion cut at 4 inches. I used the pop up feature and this is the shift option. Then you fold it at the indentions. When you cut it you will see a small indent on each leg. Score it at that point for all 6 legs.

Hold the card at a 90 degree angle and glue the legs at the score portion to the card top and bottom. I had to fold mine in a bit more because it was too tall when you close it. So rather than cutting another one, I just folded the legs a bit higher up. :)

Then hold down the card to make sure it closes properly and allow the glue to dry. I like the Mono liquid for these because it holds soooo well.

Here is what it looks like standing up and a bit open. You can see the pop up portion starting to pop up.

Here is the card opened up.

I hope you like this project. These cards are a bit tricky so use some junk paper and play around a bit the first time. They come out VERY cute!!!! Have a SUPER day!!!
