Father's Day- Henhouse

My dad's current pet project--ha!--is raising chickens in the backyard. He treats them like pets now and they sure are living the life. They've got over 100 square feet to roam around a garden and dig in the dirt. I have enjoyed the benefits of free eggs! So, this card doesn't scream Father's day for most people, but it sure does for my dad :) I also made one with a few changes to send to a friend. See it at the bottom. Here are the materials I used:

• Happy Hens stamps and dies by Taylored Expressions
• Chicken Wire embossing folder by Taylored Expressions

Father's Day- grill master

The pop-up box cards are far easier than they look. Please click here for a tutorial on how to make one. I couldn't explain better than this lady already has. This was the card for my dad this year! These are the materials I used:

• 1 sheet of red 12"x12" cardstock paper
• coordinating arrow and stripe patterned paper from Kraft Funday (Happy Days)
• scor-mat
• boys will be boys stamp set by Taylored Expressions 
• versafine ink- vintage sepia

• strips of sturdy plastic
• tape runner
• ultimate glue
• toothpicks  

You know all of the annoying, hard to open plastic packages? Well, we finally have a use for them! I took the plastic casing from a spellbinders die cut set and cut out a few strips to use for holding up the pieces. See below.

Here is the break down for the copic coloring:

grill (ours is a big green egg)- W-2, W-3, W-7, G24, G28, G29

kabobs- R27, Y19, G24

Happy [belated] Father's Day to all the grill masters out there!
