Father's Day Banner

Welcome to Crazy About Cricut Thankful Thursday! This week's challenge is to make a special project for Father's Day, and you're welcome to try something other than a card too :) I can usually come up with some cute ideas for girls, but when it comes to guys, sometimes I just can't think of anything to make for them! So I searched around for some inspiration and came upon the Tie-riffic Father's Day ideas on the My Insanity blog! So I made this awesome banner to have waiting for my father-in-law and grandpa when they come over for the party on Sunday. Since my dad lives in Washington, I'm going to email him the pictures so he can get a banner too! :)



I used the ties on the Everyday Paper Dolls cart and the letters from the Birthday Bash cart. So cute! Then I used the shadow feature and raised them up on pop dots just to give it a little more 3D effect and added the buttons as embellishments.

Celebrate the Occasion Challenge #12

For this week's challenge, you can make either a Congratulations or Graduation project. I created a graduation card using the Everyday Paper Dolls cart for the cap and the scroll. I found this fun digital sentiment to incorporate into the card too.

I inked the cap and scroll and then tied a ribbon around the scroll. I used a bead and embroidery floss for the tassel and that completed the look I was going for.


Be sure to join us this week at Celebrate the Occasion for this fun challenge and to check out all the fabulous work from the rest of the awesome Design Team! All you need to do is create a card, layout or project and post it by Sunday, May 8th, 11:59pm (EST). The winner will be selected and entered into their monthly drawing! Have a great day!
