Father's Day Card

My father's day card this year is simple and clean.  I used the Cameo to cut my design.  The sentiment was printed and cut on the frame design from the Silhouette Library.  I separated it to change the width of the frame and to layer it. The paper pack I used for the pattern paper is DCWV the Serenity Stack.  


Supplies
A2 card - olive green card stock
Patterned Papers - 2 1/2" x 4" each
Sentiment - 2 3/4" x 2" - cream paper card stock- "happy" and "day" Courier New 29.30 pt font - "Father's" Courier New 44.75 pt font
Frame -  3 1/4" x 2 3/8" - olive green card stock - Cuttlebug Swiss Dots used to emboss frame - raised on 1 layer of foam tape.

Happy - Female Birthday Card


I created a card using chevron papers that I cut into strips to create the background.  I cut the word happy with my Cameo out of a strip of white scrap paper.  I intended the background to show through but I did not like the look so I cut a strip of solid color to go under the white.  I like how this card turned out.  It is a great card for any age, male or female.  It is quick and easy to make, that can be done in a few minutes.




Supplies
A2 Card - White card stock
Chevron Strips - 1 1/8" X 4" - 3 in one color and 2 in another
Solid Strip - 2" x 5 3/8" - purple
Banner - 2.5" x 5 1/4" - white - happy (Eras Bold ITC) at 110 pt font - birthday printed (LD Red Hatter's Hand) at 26 pt font in black.

Everyday Card - Butterflies

Here is a card that I made with stamps and markers.  I like the way butterflies turned out but I am unsure of the matting.  When doing the matting I was trying to incorporate the color of the butterflies. It turned out well but it's not one of my favorites and I will revisit these butterflies again.


Supplies
Base - A2 Card - White
Mat 1 - 4" x 5 1/4" - Orange
Mat 2 - 3 3/4" x 5" - Light Blue
Mat 3 - 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" - Yellow
Butterflies - 3 pack wood stamps I got at Michaels - Memento Tuxedo Black Ink - colored with Spectrum Noir markers
