Here are a couple more Father's Day cards I made to donate. I used a typewriter die set that I've had for a long time. I really don't use it very often, but I thought it would work well for an older dad who remembers using one.
I really like this die set because it actually does remind me of my days in my high school typing class. I think I was able to type 60 words per minute by the end of the year. And I remember buying an old, second-hand manual typewriter to take with me to college.
Those were the days, weren't they?
The sentiment at the bottom of the card was printed with my computer, matted with brown CS, and popped up with foam tape.
I did a little research to see if there ever were any turquoise typewriters. I found that there actually was one made by the "Royal" company in the 1950s. I would have loved to have one of those!
This is the sentiment I stamped on the inside of each card.
So, did you learn to type on a typewriter? Or did you learn on a word processor or computer?
I feel like we learned more about the "rules and techniques" of typing when I was in high school. Now it seems that the outcome is more important. If you can type really fast with just two fingers, then go for it!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

Your typewriters are perfect for that sentiment. You've coordinated the colors well. I think you can make them any color you want. Probably no one remembers what colors they were. Great men's cards.
I'm "really" old so I learned on a typewrter!!!
Great cards, Cheryl! We had a typewriter at home, but I never learned to type at school. Too many other classes that I wanted to take. I taught myself on our computer when the kids were young. I can do quite well, now! :-)
