Underdog

I made two Father's Day cards today, but with the same image and layout.

The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4" and made of black card stock.  I cut some blue star patterned card stock at 5 3/8"x4 1/8."  The red wavy strip is 1 1/2"x3 3/4."  The black mat is 3 3/4"x3 1/2" and the white mat is 3 5/8"x3 3/8."  I embossed the white mat using the Assorted Stars embossing folder by Darice.

Underdog is an SVG that I got on a blog hop from SVG Cutting Files.  He was cut at 3 1/4."  I used foam tape to adhere his fist and head for a little dimension.  His nose and eyes are covered in glossy accents.

The comic book burst in the corner is from the digital Cricut set called "Crash! Boom! Pow!"  I used the print & cut feature since it was so small, 1 1/2."

The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps, the Fan-tastic! set.  I stamped it on white card stock, trimmed it to fit, then added it below Underdog.

The red mat on the inside of the card is 5 3/8"x4 1/8."  The black mat is 4 3/8"x3 1/8" and the white mat is 4 1/4"x3."  The sentiment is from Fiskars, I don't know what set, I just found it in my stash.

I made this for the following challenges:

Scrappy Moms Stamps: project for a father

Die Cuttin' Divas: sketch

Groovy Times - Creation #2

For my second project using the "Groovy Times" cartridge I used the ray gun found on page 51.

 

The card is 5 1/2"x4 1/4."  I used dark blue cardstock for the card base, then cut a tan mat at 5 3/8"x4 1/8" and a blue polka dot mat at 5 1/8"x3 7/8."  I used an EK Success punch for the zigzag border.

 

The ray gun is cut at 2 1/2."  The yellow blast coming from the ray gun is from the Cricut Craft Room exclusive called "Crash! Boom! Pow!"  It was cut at 1 1/2."  I outlined the blast with yellow Stickles and covered the green parts of the ray gun with glossy accents.

 

The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps and stamped in dune ink by ColorBox.  I stamped it on a piece of white cardstock that I hid behind the ray gun, which is adhered to the card with foam tape.

 

For the inside of the card I cut a tan mat at 5 3/8"x4 1/8" and a blue polka dot mat at 5 1/8"x3 7/8."  The white mat is 4 1/8"x2 7/8."  I used the same Fiskars zigzag border punch for the yellow border and lined it up with the edge of the mat.
