Father's Day Thank You...

So, I made these cards for a card swap, and the challenge was to make a masculine card that could be used as a Father's Day card but could also be used for another occasion or purpose. Because let's face it, not many people need a dozen father's day cards all at once.  I decided to make thank you cards that could be used for Father's day but could also just be used as a regular thank you card.

I am obsessed with anything that has a woodgrain pattern right now, and the woodgrain background stamp from Stampin' Up was just the ticket for this card. I inked up the edges of the card base to make them look nice and grungy, and the letters were cut out using the Street Sign cartridge with my Cricket.. {chirp, chirp}.

It's a simple card, but I think it's perfect for a Dad.

This card has a few more frills with the ribbon and the grassy fringe, but I still think it's fun for a husband or anyone you would hold "deer"... ha ha... crackin' myself up... Anyway, I printed the sentiment directly on the card base with my handy dandy printer and Microsoft Word. A complete supply list for both cards is listed below. Thanks for stopping by!
