It is a super simple design, cobalt grey and silver dots on top.

For my Father

I made this card for my dad, he is always into fixing things and working on things around the house so I thought this would be a perfect theme for him

Photobucket

  -this card is from both me and my younger brother
Here is a close up of the things I have in the bag:
Photobucket
-I cut out each item individually, colored it,and then assembled it in the bag

 

In the inside of the card I explain what each thing represents:

  • The flashlight for always trying to make our future bright...
  • The running shoes for being our exercise buddy...
  • The first-aid kit for always being our personal medic...
  • The hammer and wrench for always showing us what hard work looks like...
  • The glue for always keeping us close to your heart...
  • The pens for showing us the importance of education...
  • The form finger for coming to all of our evens and being our true #1 fan...
I also have scissors in that bag but I don't know what they could represent?? -.-


Items:  Exacto Knife, Construction paper, markers, crayons, and patterned paper
Difficulty: Medium-Hard
Time: 3 Hours
Why: Because all the thing in the bag took forever to cut and the difficulty is medium hard because it takes intricacy to cut those item out.

This is an updated version of the card I made for my Uncle, the only difference from the last post is that this has a grass background instead of the plain green.

Father's Day Card

I made this card for my cousin to give to his father...
His dad is really into gardening and plants and all so I made a pot and a vine plant coming out of it with the pickets in the background. He picked the qualities that he loves about his dad on his own.

  • Difficulty: Moderate (Easy but cutting out the plant was difficult at least for me)
  • Time: Around 3 hrs for me but I had to think of the design as I went along with my basic idea, but if one was to re-create this it would take 40 min because of the intricate cutting.
  • Tools: Construction Paper, Markers, Scissors, Glue Stick, and Xacto knife.

1. Cut out the pot, plant, and pickets.

2. Cut out the Labels.
                                                             
3. The Final Result
