Father’s Day was celebrated here yesterday. This post was ready to go, but after celebrating with Matt and Betsy at her dad’s and a long Face Time call with Sarah and her family, we got busy and it just didn’t happen.
I’m always happy to make cards for three of the best dads I know–Tracy, Matt, and Adam. All three are hard-working, affectionate, loving, and kind. They’ve all been totally involved with raising their kids, and put in lots of quality time with them. I made three of the same card this year using Pink Fresh Studio’s “Adore” alphabet die. The die cuts two images-a very thin outline and a chunky inner letter.
I layered three of each letter and outline to provide some texture–once with Simon Say’s “Smoke” and once with “Slate.” To get enough of them for three cards, meant die cutting 54 letters, but I love the contrast so it was well worth it. After assembling the letters I arranged them on a piece of Simon Says “Fog” cardstock die cut with Simon Says “Stitched Rectangles.” The sentiment was white embossed on black cardstock with a sentiment from W+9’s “Super Star” set which has been a go-to for masculine cards for many years.
I attached the sentiment with dimensional tape, and then adhered the cardfront to a card base made of Simon Says “Slate” cardstock. Another CAS design that I hope all three will like.
I’m linking this up to the “Father” challenge at Addicted to CAS. It’s been awhile since I played along with this challenge, and this is clearly CAS!
Your cards remind me of a school jacket with its letters! Cool idea! It’s a wonderful thing to know good fathers and honor them!
Oh those layers were worth it – these are great!
