Happy Father's Day!

To all the fathers out there, I wish you a Happy Father's Day!  I'm fortunate to still have my dad, and am married to a dad, and my son is a dad...looking forward to speaking with two of them and spoiling the other (can you guess which ones?).

So here's a cute Father's Day card I made for my dad:

When I first saw this set, Something for Baby, with the matching Baby's First framelits, I decided I didn't need it.  Then, as often happens, I saw some cute samples, and suddenly I HAD to have it!  The only stamp I really wanted was this tie (but of course, I'll use all the other stamps soon).

I stamped the tie in Real Red and Night of Navy, and cut them out with the framelits.  I also cut one using the Maritime Designer Series Paper


These were all adhered to a piece of Coastal Cabana card stock, which was mounted on a slightly larger piece of Whisper White

I ran a piece of Night of Navy through the Big Shot using the Stylish Stripes embossing folder, and placed that on another piece of the Maritime DSP.  This was all mounted on the card base of Coastal Cabana.

The cute phrase is from Banner Banter, stamped using Stampin' Write markers in Coastal Cabana and Real Red, and cut out with the Word Bubbles Framelits.  I cut another one from Real Red, and the two bubbles are offset and popped up with Dimensionals.

Carrying the theme of "you're the best" to the inside, I found this sentiment, from And Many More:





And of course, what's a special card without a special envelope?

The tie was stamped one more time in Night of Navy on the front, next to the address.



What do you think?  Will my dad know that he's my favorite dad?

And let's get creating!
