Masculine Birthday Card

For Dad

I made this card for my Father in Law who had a birthday this past week.

I was trying to come up with a simple yet masculine card that I could make a lot of for OWH. I came up with this design; however, the size isn't quite 4 x 6.

Recipe:

Cricut Cartridge - Potpourri Basket

Plantin SchoolBook

"Happy Birthday"

was cut at 1 1/2 inches

Frame was cut at 4 1/4 inches

Small Silver brads

Smoke Card stock

Patterned paper

Sewing Project #2

Hawaiian Pillowcase Dress

This dress was made with Cotton poly fabric that I purchased at the Honolulu fabric mart. I love the gathered neckline and satin ribbons.

This dress would be perfect for a 3-6 month old or it could also work as a shirt over jeans for a toddler.

Recipe:

1 yard of fabric

or a cute pillowcase

2 yards of ribbon

coordinating thread
