Father's Day cards...

I have made a few Father's Day cards to donate. They are actually quite relaxing to make because I keep them pretty simple.

This card was made with a never-before-used die of a classy-looking guy leaning against a wall, so I'm entering this into this month's challenge on the NBUS Challenge Blog.

The "wall" was created by using a portion of an adhesive-backed faux wall tile that I found at Dollar Tree. I added a black strip of cardstock down the right side of it.

I made a couple of these cards, and I have enough of the wall tile left to make several more.

The inside was very CAS with a computer-generated sentiment.

This card was made with an NBUS die set, too, so I'm also posting it on the NBUS Challenge Blog. I used bits and pieces from my scraps to die-cut the hat, bats and ball. I think it's a fun set and will be great for making masculne birthday cards, too.

I added another computer-generated sentiment on the inside.

This card has a tailored-shirt look to it. I used the folded corner design that I've used for lots of feminine cards. I measured 1 1/2" down from the upper right corner of my card front and scored from that point up to the start of the center fold. Then I folded this piece down. After adding some DSP to the main part of the front and the folded flap, I adhered the flap in place. You could hold it down with a dimensional, but I just used double-sided tape.

Then I pulled out an old button die, cutting it several times and stacking it for dimension.

I added a little thread (actually, it's embroidery floss) to my button before gluing it to the corner of my folded flap.

Finally, I die-cut the big sentiment and glued it in place. I had to be extra careful not to lose track of the apostrophe!

I added a stamped sentiment to the inside of this card.

We will be attending my granddaughter's high school graduation this week. Also, during this month and the first part of July we have her party and two reunions to attend. I also have to usher at my church a couple of times and help out with an ice cream social, so it's a busy time...but fun!

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