Father's Day cards...

This is just a quick post to say Happy Father's Day to all the dads, granddads, uncles, teachers, mentors and other men who have been a positive influence in a young person's life. I hope you have a wonderful day!

I made a few Father's Day cards for the thrift store to sell this year. Here are a couple of them:

This card was for a coffee-loving dad. It's pretty simiple, but that's how men like their cards, right?

I die-cut the sentiment, glued it to the front of my card and then added some Glossy Accents to the letters.

You may not remember, but I mentioned in one of my posts that my Glossy Accents had gotten quite thick and was really difficult to squeeze out of the tiny nozzle on the bottle. I had read that it is water-based, so you can add a few drops of water to thin it out. I did that, and it worked! 

If you have some Glossy Accents that have thickened over time, just add a few drops of water at a time, shaking it well after each addition until it is the thickness you like. Just be careful not to add too much.

This is another card that features some masculine DSP. I really didn't think anything other than the die-cut sentiment was needed on the front. 

This was the computer-generated sentiment that I put in each of these cards.

Here is the card I made for my husband, featuring a photo of our dog, Mickey. It was made with no die-cutting, minimal stamping (paw prints), but no coloring, and no special folds. 

This is what it says on the inside. To say he loved it is a vast understatement. I think it is his most favorite card I have ever made for him.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
