Dad/Grandad & Fathers Day

**Ruthan** · 05-05-2008, 04:22 PM

My card for May is one for Grandpa's retirement. The template file is just for the elements with which I decorated the card. I cuttlebugged a layer and trimmed with peel-offs.

I think perhaps it needs a pair of slippers or a newspaper or a pile of books as well.

right I am trying again, can someone let me know if it opens properly this time Please

Nothing too complicated, but may be useful for someone. Fits a DL card.

Hi all

Been playing around trying to do a Father's day Card. This is what I've come up with. Hope you like it and its of some use to some of you.

I've done a variation on the Fathers Day Card I posted yesterday. As I have 4 men I have to do cards for I wanted a couple of them to be a little different.

Hope you like.

A bit of a cartoony theme going on here......I've made this card to give to my Dad on Father's Day but I thought it may be quite versatile as a general 'blokey' file.

The picture has been adapted from one I saw in an old colouring book, traced in KNK Studio and then converted to GSD. It's a bit fiddly as it is a piecing file, but this is by no means a boring process. I put acetate behind the windows and mounted the topper on the card using silicone glue so that it just stands away slightly, giving the effect of glass.

Thanks to Jo (Joggy148) who helped me with the file conversion as my one last remaining brain-cell had failed to retain the knowledge! I've included the wording file as well for anyone who may have a use for it.

I redid the conversion for the gsd. This one looks better. I remembered that
I didn't follow one step when I converted.
Hope this is better

I made these for a Christmas shoppe at an elementary school. Dad's
are hard to make gifts for. I cut these out of vinyl and made them into
ornaments and refrigerator magnets. I think the little ones will like them.
I know they can be used for other things too.

The file includes the words and the insert. The font is Cafe Rojo.

Hope someone can use it.

Having read Marion's thread in the chat room and then seeing Rosemary's popup in the challenge section I decided to have a go at one of these. Mine is quite basic but now I've got the hang of it I might try something a bit more adventurous !!The inside is all in one piece so it just needs cutting then sticking on to the base card. I made this up as a Fathers Day card but with a different topper it could be adapted to use as a birthday card. Hope it's of some use.
