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.

Happy Father's Day cricut card

Using the CUTEST BEAVER EVER off of the Create a Critter Cricut Cart. I also used the grass from that cart. and embossed a blue piece of card stock with the Spots and Dots embossing folder on my Sizzix texture boutique embossing purse (so cute)

Then I used the computer to print the message out- since every man I am related to in my family works as hard as beavers- and every other man I have met thinks he does. LOL
I hope you enjoy- now go to Celebrate the Occasion and check out all the other brilliant artists on the design team this week!
Thanks,

Father's Day Guy Card

Look at Rayna's Amazing Father's day card- or for any occasion in your man's life. I especially love her use of the cricut masking technique and her Tim Holtz embellishments :) This is one of my favorite cards ever!

Quick and easy father's day gift

Here is an easy peasy lemon squeezy gift to make for your hubby or other loved one. It took me less than 10 minutes.

I used Tim Holtz metal word keys (I so love these keys!) and the tags, bags, boxes and more cartridge from Cricut. I left the keys plain and awesome. Bought a really cool key ring at the scrapbook store and wrote with my handwriting a bunch of mushy stuff. I have more details on my video HERE. Oh yeah, the music is Savage Garden. Have a great day, *hugs* -Paper Panther
