Father's Day Card

Here is a card I made for my Little Cupe to give to her Daddy! My Big Cupe (hubby) and I call my sweet little girl "Lowly Worm", the character from Richard Scarry.  She got this nickname because she had started to hop around all the time and it just reminded us of Lowly worm and how he hops around because he only has one foot!  The name stuck and now Little Cupe usually gets called some variation of Lowly Worm (low, lowly, lowlys, etc).  She has other nicknames too, which I am sure will come up in future posts!  Anyway, here is the card I made.

The card is A6 size.  All the paper I used is The Paper Company, I don't know which pack (sorry!) they came from.  The blue paper is textured with a Sizzix embossing folder called Dots and Diamonds.  The ribbon is from the dollar section at Target!

The worm (really a caterpillar, but I don't think Big Cupe will notice!) is from the Create-a-Critter cartridge (I really have been using this cart A LOT!). It's cut at 3 3/4".

I used my laser printer to print the wording from the front and inside of the card on the cardstock. I don't know if anyone is really interested in the font I used but it's Segoe Print.

I don't know if Little Cupe is going to give this card to Big Cupe, she saw it and declared that it was hers!

For my project I chose to make a card for my dad. I had to think hard for this one because I didn't want to make my dad a generic themed card, ya know?! I wanted it to be special and unique to him. I finally thought of a great idea! My dad has nicknames for me and my siblings, we've had them forever! My nickname is "mouse" because I am quiet (well I was when I got the nickname!!). My sister is "turtle" because she was slow (like a turtle) and my brother's is "bug" because he was small, or because he is buggy, not quite sure on that one (just teasing!)!

I used the Create-a-Critter cartridge for my animals (aren't they cute?!). I wanted a simple card, because that's my dad, straight to the point! So I didn't embellish too much! I used a EK Success border punch for the bottom edge, but that's it. I printed the words using my laser printer with cardstock. I like how the laser printer prints letters so crisp.  Here is the inside:

Again, I used the EK Success border punch so give it a bit of embellishment but not too much!  I can't wait to give him the card, I think he is going to enjoy it a lot!
