Father's Day card for my DH

[Elizabeth]

Here is the Fathers Day card I made this morning for my Hubs. (Leaving it 'til the last minute as usual!)

It is almost an exact copy of one I pinned on Pinterest a bit ago, while trolling for guy cards.

I used my Foil Master, and discovered that I need to turn the heat up if I am doing a sandwich of cardstock/cardstock/foil/cardstock. I normally just do cardstock/foil/cardstock, and cut it after foiling, but this time I cut first and then foiled, and needed to add an extra full size sheet of cardstock to the sandwich.

Wow Elizabeth - I love that - the colors are great too.

You got a super shot of the foiling . I have a hard time capturing the sheen.

Very nice Elizabeth! I was just like you - making the Father's day cards at the last minute this morning! Good thing DH decided to do lots of yard work this morning! Of course my kiddos thought it was better to take cards I had made then to make their own! So I went simplistic and then found 1 "incomplete" from last year and finished it off and then DS used one I had previously made as well. Maybe I will try to get pics of them tomorrow and share. These and the shirts I made for DH's partner's retirement is the first crafting I have done in months it seems!

Great card, Elizabeth...but then, you always do beautiful work!

Thanks, everyone!

Glad I'm not alone in being "last minute Lizzy", Melanie!

Gigi, I don't usually have good luck taking photos of the foil either. Because I packed up my "photo booth" last week, (It is too ugly to keep out when we have a party) I just laid the card on the table by the window and took the pic from directly above. I had to Photo Shop a bit more than usual to decrease the shadows this way, but it did work well for the foil. I think the angle was better. I will have to experiment some more once I have time to set up my "booth" again. (My booth is a piece of tissue paper taped to the window as a diffuser, a piece of cardboard covered in aluminum foil as a reflector, and a couple of blank stretched canvases as a backdrop.)

Sounds like it would work very well!!!

Great card!!! My DH didn't get a card from me this year. I know, I am so bad. I barely got one done for my dad and FIL.

[LisaH]

I made one for my son, dad & FIL...hubby didn't get one.

I am so glad that I am not the only one that didn't make one for DH...... I had to rush to get FIL's out in the mail which will get to him a day late. Oh well, I did go visit him on Friday to check on him ( that was the day I was going to make the card). He didn't sound good on the phone so I got worried and drove out there to visit. He was doing better and we had a great visit. So I worked on the cards on Saturday.

Elizabeth, great masculine card. Nice work!!

Thanks!

(I didn't make DH an anniversary card! It was on the same day as DD's graduation and party, so I just didn't have time. I wouldn't have minded too much, but he found time to buy a card for me!)
