So many Birthdays!

January is always an expensive timewith lots of birthdays just after Christmas. This week was my Dad's and my baby brother's 40th!! And as we crafters know its always tricky to be inspired when it comes to cards for the men!

I thought I would share the card that I made for my Dad.

I used my Cricut machine to create the banners from patterned paper although you can add patterns to shapes in the Print and Cut facility. I cut the DAD from a recent freebie set of dies from Papercrafter magazine. The sentiments were stamped and I added some twine to finish.

I'm glad to say my Dad loved it!!

I am entering the following challenges:

I don't seem to have much time at the moment, so apologies for neglecting my blog.  I made this card for my Dad for Father's Day. I used a set of stamps from Kanban and Distress Inks with a waterbrush. My Dad isn't one for big fussy cards so he thought this was perfect.

I have decided to enter it in the following challenges :
