What's New at Cre8ive Cutz — Cards

Remember this card I made for my dad? It was for his birthday, but it would make a fantastic Father's Day card too, don't you think? Keep reading for instructions on how to make it, including dimensions for all the card pieces, a link to purchase the tools, and a link to download the handwritten "dad" absolutely free! {The free download is no longer available.} Measurements: To make the card: Cut an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock in half horizonally to end up with two pieces 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". Score and fold one piece in half...

My dad's birthday is coming up in a few days. This man has the most amazingly well organized wall of tools in his garage that you could ever imagine, so when I sat down to create a birthday card for him, a "wall of tools" seemed like the perfect theme.  The card is 5 1/2" wide by 4 1/4" tall. To cut the tools, I used the Tools of the Trade SVG cutting file available in the 99 Cent Store (shown below). The word Dad was handwritten on my graphics tablet and converted to a cutting file.

My daughter starts university tomorrow. It seems like just yesterday we were getting all geared up for her first day of kindergarten (there may have been a tear or two, and they may or may not have been from mom!) and now she's all grown up and off on her next big adventure. To go along with her "welcome to University" present, I made her a card using the School Daze set that was released in the 99 Cent Store yesterday. I started by printing the sentiment right onto the top layer of white Bazzil cardstock using my new Epson...

Did you see the fun Western Step Card that was added to the store on the weekend? I added some extra touches to my version (which is currently on display at the Calgary Stampede Western Showcase) so I thought it would be fun to do a video showing you some of the techniques and products I used.  Enjoy!
