CTMH Emporium Father's Day Cards

Several weeks ago I held a "Crazy for Cards" Workshop. The Workshop is based on the "Crazy for Cards" episode of Art & Soul on CTMH TV. I used the Emporium paper pack for the workshop and each participant got to make 20 all-occasion cards. The card design is "Pretty Simple" from Originals. Everyone chose their own sentiments for their cards based on their own needs - I chose to make 2 of my cards Father's Day cards to give to my Dad and my Father-in-Law. I'm just getting ready to pop them in the mail - so thought I'd take a quick photo in case you are needing some last minute inspiration for a quick and easy Father's Day card!

Materials Used (All Close to My Heart):

• Emporium Level 2 Paper Pack
• World's Best Dad Acrylic Stamp Set (April 2009 Stamp of the Month)
• Just Like You Acrylic Stamp Set
• Ink: Twilight
• Other: Edge Distressor, Twill Ribbon, Twilight Buttons from the Winter Collection of Craft Buttons, Colonial White Waxy Flax, and Foam Squares
