This Sunday is Father's Day...what are you giving to the special dad in your life? The design team has been busy whipping up some fun card ideas that we are excited to share. Masculine designs can be challenging, but don't worry, OA has plenty of fun products to make them an easy task!
First, we have a card by Lexi Bridges "I Heart My Dad".
Lexi says "This one is simple and little kid-ish :) The Campfire line can definitely have a "manly" vibe so combine it with the bear from Rocket Age and the fun quote and it makes the perfect card to come from a kiddo. I also used the Comet Tail sprinkler against the blue background to make it pop."
Next is "You're the Man" card by Jill Sprott
Jill says "Every father deserves a "man card" for Father's Day, am I right? I brought together some manly-man odds and ends from the Rocket Age line as well as some Thrift Shop and Report Card wild cards."
"You're Out of This World" card by Marcy Penner.
Marcy embossed the little robot onto a tag. Then she unscrewed the Tin Type sprinkler bottle, dipped her paintbrush in and painted the robot. What a cool way to use the sprinklers!
"I Love You Dad" card by Roree Rumph.
She used 5 and Dime, Thrift Shop and Report Card to put this adorable card together.
Amy Heller's Father's Day Pillow Box "4 U Dad"
Amy created the main image with the B side of paper from Report Card. She used Campfire for the other papers and alpha letters. The buttons are from Schoolhouse, too.
"I Love You Man" card by Kinsey Wilson
Don't you love how Kinsey used the sticker background from the mini-markets to create a mask? This card is full of cool techniques you gotta try!
And Danni has even created a tutorial for us today to create this ADORABLE card:
And another variation using the same technique:
If you have already finished your Father's Day creations we would love to see them! If not, we hope we have inspired you today to break out your supplies and get busy! :)
Oh, what an awesome idea with the frame! I really like it. Thanks for sharing.
