Pa's Bday card

Good afternoon everyone!! Sorry for the late post, the day just got away from me! Here is a card my made for my Dad, tomorrow is his birthday. I used a lot of Tim Holtz' products on this card. My goal was to make it a manly card. I think I have accomplished that. I did use the Cricut Celebrate with Flourish Cartridge for the Happy Birthday. Everything else, except the hardware (StaminUP) is Tim Holtz!!

I learned a fun little tip from our friend Susan, who sold StampinUp for years. I took a close up picture of the date on the calendar, June 14th, which is his birthday. To highlight I used a pencil eraser and dipped in green in and stamped in on the date. To make the circle light, stamp it on another piece of paper first. So easy and so cute!!

I am sure he will love this card. He is a card maker himself.

I hope everyone had a great weekend!! Again another weekend gone by.
