I hope all the dads out there had a very nice, relaxing, and happy Father’s Day yesterday.
My husband and I generally don’t do a lot for each other on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. He tends to think “I’m not your dad, and you’re not my mom.” But I do like to give him a little something to let him know that I’m glad he’s the father of our children.
I was pressed for time this year so I came up with this card pretty quickly. It was nice to use a couple Stampin’ Up stamp sets that hadn’t seen ink in a long time. I’ve had this patterned paper for several years now and finally used some of it. This wasn’t a difficult card to make, but cutting out the letters was a little time consuming. Thank goodness for Cutterbee scissors. They are terrific for stuff like this. I even used them to cut out the center part of the “d”.
So, even though it isn’t one of my better cards, it fit the purpose. I hope my husband realizes how much honestly do I appreciate him.
