Create for a dad...

I know Father's Day was a few weeks ago and I am a bit slow in posting, but I just wanted to share the cards I made this year for my hubby and my dad.

Star Wars is kind of a big thing in our house since our last name is Starsky (Star-sky).  Darth Vader is a perfect messenger for this Father's Day greeting.  I printed out the Vader clip art and put it on lots of layers of patterned paper.  I added the greeting and a few simple stars from Unique Laser Designs (that I colored with a sparkle gel pen).

For this card, I made a "punny" for my Dad, who happens to be the king of puns.  I often call him "Pop", so this pop stamp from Unity makes an easy card.

So, maybe your dad's birthday is coming up or you want to get a leap on your cards for next Father's Day.

whatever is the best...

The best dads become grandpas...

just the like best cream becomes frozen custard. 

Don't you wish this was a REAL frozen treat? 

With rich, cool, creamy sensations and sweet little sprinkles?

Well, I can't give you a real treat, but I can help you make this one!

I cut a triangle for a cone and embossed it with a Sizzix texture plate that has a waffle pattern.  The ice cream (or rather, frozen custard) is Fiskars circle squeeze punches ran through the Sizzix Big Shot with a swirly pattern texture plate.  I followed the swirly pattern with Glossy Accents and threw on a mixture of tiny seed beads while it was still wet.  It's as pretty as a REAL frozen treat!

My dad LOVES frozen custard.  And in Florida, where he lives now, it is hard to find!  On his summer trip up toWisconsin, he tries to get his fill. That's why I included a gift card to his favorite frozen custard stand (Kopp's) in the card. 

                                                         

THIS will make him smile!

Happy Father’s Day

to the best Dad!
