Hi, everyone! 

It's May... which means it's time for Dad/Guy cards over at Send a Smile 4 Kids. These are cards for the kids to give to give to the dads (or special guys) in their lives. It's worth noting that the deadline for getting dad/guy cards to our SAS4Kids shippers is May 15.



Lawn Fawn Dad Jokes stamp set
???? gifted paper


Love, love, love this card for three reasons. Actually love it because of three special ladies: 1) Friend Anna and I were spending a lovely day checking out a couple of our favorite scrapbook stores when I came across this sweet little stamp set. 2) Friend Irene brought tons of paper that she had been gifted to a card-making afternoon to share with us. That's where this cool green paper came from. 3) The card's design was tweaked from a card I received from friend Lori. I loved the idea of a shorter front panel and thought it was perfect for featuring two jokes from that stamp set. 

I had initially thought about coloring the images. Then I decided to go with a classic black-and-white palette... but it looked too plain. So, I added some hand-drawn pencil accents, along with a couple of punched out stars, for some extra interest.

Hope you'll stop by the SAS4Kids challenge blog and check out our DT's cards. Looks like the kids' dads will be getting some really cute cards. Then hope you'll stop back by and link up a card of your very own. 

Thanks for stopping.... and happy scrappin'!

  1. Your card is so cute and I love the Dad jokes set (I haven't bought that one yet believe it or not!) The smaller front panel is a great idea too, great way to show off different papers.

  2. Girlfriend, there is nothing better than featuring a bad dad joke on a fabulous Father's Day card! This is hysterical!
