Father's Day Card, 2023

Here's the Father's Day card I made two of, one for my husband and one for my son-in-law. The pattern is from Dreaming Tree, Hippie  Bus Greeting Card. 

This is a darling vintage card that was so fun to make. And, my husband use to drive a VW van back in the day, so it was meaningful in this way as well. I designed the pattern on the surfboard, as well as altering the name tag to say  Hippie Father's Day.

I also designed the layout of the inside of the card. My husband really loved this card.

The pattern comes with numerous alternate wording for the front, such as Peace & Love, Hippie Birthday, Groovy Greetings, etc.

The pattern for the card also comes with a peace envelope, which is so cool!

Hippie Day, Friends!

Graduation Card - 2023

 I made a graduation card for my great niece from revised cut files from Dreaming Tree. The base of the card was a Father's Day card, but I designed the rest as I saw fit.

I used a glitter brush on black cardstock. I also placed the negative paper where the words were cut out as a stencil to place the letters and numbers onto the card.

This is called a twist & turn card (it probably has other names as well). The four panels fold into the card flat, and spring up upon opening. I made a gift card envelope for the bottom, and a sentiment card attached above the panels.

Happy Graduation!
