I’m only a couple of weeks late on posting about this. To my credit, I didn’t want to share the cards until the recipients had received them!
My latest project…creating Father’s Day cards!
I purchased a few stamp sets (all Stampin’ Up) on eBay and I am in love. I wish I could make similar cards every year for Father’s Day.
(Also is it terrible that I can’t find the photos I took of all three cards? And my husband’s card is missing? Yeah. If I find that third card, I’ll photograph it – again – and add it here.) My husband’s card looked similar to the above card. I really liked how it opened in the middle, rather than the traditional on-the-side opening.
Cards were sent to my dad, father-in-law and my husband.
Stamp sets used:
Delightful Dozen (for the “Happy Father’s Day”)
Packed For Dad
Best Dad Ever
There are still several stamps in the kits that I haven’t used, and I can use for birthdays – or another Father’s Day!
This is project 6 in my goal to complete 12 projects this year! See project 1 and project 2 and project 3 and project 4 and project 5 in previous posts.

July 2, 2014 at 11:46 pmCards that open from the middle are cool. More room to make drawings and decorations (if you want to). 🙂
These came out great!
