A Card for Father's Day

Like many of you, I struggle with making cards for men (after all, there's only so much cuteness a guy can stand).  For this card I used MC-2 (So Glad We're Friends) along with a few small sheets of newspaper...I folded the newspaper and cut out an "extra hand" stamp and glued them together:

Hope that gives you some inspiration for your next "guy" card!!!

Clear Pockets

My how time flies!!! I can't believe the school year is over and summer is already on its way!!! Speaking of summer, I have a couple of ideas today for the June holidays...the first one is for the graduate:



Just a simple gift card holder...untie the ribbon and the card opens up to reveal a gift card in a clear pocket:



With a couple of minor adjustments...here's a little treat holder for Father's Day:



Here's the inside (using the "fun size" candy bars):



To get the patterns for both of these projects, click here. Cut along the solid lines and fold along the dotted lines. Use double stick tape to adhere a piece of acetate to the back of the pocket piece:



For the gift card holder: Cut card stock to 4" x 5"...score at 2-1/2".

For candy holder: Cut card stock to 4" x 4-3/8"...score at 2" and 2-3/8".

Attach the pocket to the bottom, inside edge of the card...and you're done!! Thanks for stopping by today!!

Whenever I do make 'n takes, I keep hearing that people want simple projects. I guess with all our busy lives, simple is good!!! So, I think these 2 new stamps make things as simple as possible!!! Of course, you can do this project on any pre-made box or bag (to make it even simpler!!). But, you can also get a pattern for this bunny box or chick box here.

Here's another idea using these stamps for gift tags...it literally takes just minutes to make:



One last card for Father's Day...I don't usually make "guy" cards...but, here's what I came up with:
