Father's Day Cards, What a Joy to Make...

Hey there, everyone.  I have been busy the past month and had been working part-time too so, I have to find some time to create which proved to be a difficult challenge.  Okay, okay, I have suffered from lack of sleep or no sleep at all in order to create some of the cards you see in here.  But card making is something I really like to do so, I am so happy when I get to sit at my craft table (even with very little sleep) and once I finished a project and see how pretty it came out to be, it makes me very happy...

Most of the time, in front of my Craft table, I am out of ideas on what to do.  Lay-outs are always the hardest part for me because there's so many things I wanted to include and making them all work.  I also have a small space to work on so, it can be messy getting all of my papers, tools and embellishments all in one space and still have enough space to work on...Oh well, no complaints here.  Just thankful to the Lord for a roof on our heads and His daily provision.  Anyway, here's an Easel card that I worked on, one of the six cards I've been busy with  the past few days.  Also, this card has been entered into this Challenge:

1.  Crafty Creations featuring "Your Favorite Stamp"

JUST FOR YOU DADDY EASEL CARD:

Again, the struggle to make this as manly as possible...LOL  I had to eliminate ribbons (which I love to include) but I couldn't help myself with the glitters...I think it turned out good because it made the word "Daddy" stand out.  I got the sentiment (message) from a book by Linda LaTourelle entitled "The Ultimate Guide to the Perfect Word."  By the way, the "Just For You" was cut from my Cricut Stamping cart and the word "Daddy" was cut from Mickey Font cart.  I usually don't use a lot of my Cricut for words but sure love how it turned out here.

JUST FOR YOU DADDY EASEL CARD (SENTIMENT UP-CLOSE):

Aww, I think this is just a perfect message to all of the good fathers out there....

JUST FOR YOU DADDY EASEL CARD (SPECIAL MESSAGE):

What can be more personal than writing your own words for the wonderful man in your life?  I love that with this card, there is a space to do that...Oh, and can you see how I got carried away stitching all over this card?...LOL

JUST FOR YOU DADDY EASEL CARD (FOLDED):

I so adore that little girl image from Whipper Snapper Designs.  I had fun coloring with my Bic and Sharpie markers and Prisma/Gamsol on the face...Did some inking with Tim Holtz Distress Ink using Frayed Burlap.  My favorite ink of all his inks.  I also cut the frame from my Cricut Stamping cartridge. 

JUST FOR YOU DADDY EASEL CARD WITH ENVELOPE:

Another customized envelope for this very special A2 card since it became a bit thick.  I am so proud of how this turned out to be and hope you enjoy this project too...Below this post are several other Father's day card I made.  Have fun browsing...

I also want to thank the LORD JESUS for all the strength and guidance in my life...He is the very reason why I even create in the first place...To You be the glory, Almighty Father!
