Happy Father's Day....

Ok.....Since tomorrow is Father's Day I needed to make a card for my hubby's dad....he's an AMAZING dad and very very special!!!!! I could not have been blessed with a better person to be my Father In Law!!!! So I knew I wanted to use a different type of card...so I designed the template myself in Inkscape!!!! It's a bi-fold card with a scallop incorporated.........

I cut the base of the card in a brown cardstock then designed a decorative paper for each side of the card and printed with my Laser Color Printer....I also created the Happy Father's Day scallops in PSP, printed and then cut with my Cricut.......after cut I then kissed the edges with a sponge some Tim Holtz Distress Inks....I used foam dots to raise up off the card.....


The inside layer of the card I created the design for the message portion of the card.....printed the poem that I found off the internet onto some watercolor paper with a faint background of the same image I used on the scallops then cut it out with my Cricut....then kissed the edges again with the Tim Holtz Distress Inks.....I added some green sheer ribbon and a touch of red ribbon to the front of the card.......I then created the envelope template to go with the card and printed some decorative paper again with my color laser printer and cut with the Cricut.......


I really LOVE how the card turned out...not too fru fru.........I think he will really like it....SO....I created ALL my svg files in one file.....on different layers.....as you go to cut them you will want to close the "eye" on the layer you are NOT wanting to cut at the time.......select path and then save the file....when it asks if you want to replace select yes...then go into SCAL and import....your properties will be X=0.0 / Y=0.0 / W=12.0 / H=12.0 (Keep proportions=check this box)........
