Feet Painting for Father's Day/Birthday Card

Hello! Father's Day is just over a week away and I wanted to show you the card I had L make for daddy. I just had him step in green paint (daddy's favorite color) and walk all over the card. Of course, it is VERY slippery, so I had to hold him the whole time. Hence the reason there are no pics of us actually doing this activity! 

In case you can't read what I wrote, it says:

Daddy, I love you from my head to the tips of my toes! 

(which I used to make you this picture)

We are, however, giving this to daddy tomorrow as it is his birthday, but I thought it would be great as a father's day card as well.

'Fleur De Lis' Birthday Card using Cricut

Here is a card I made with the Cricut for a friend's birthday. I used burgundy colored cardstock for the card itself.

I used metallic gold sticker paper to cut out the fleur de lis. I placed it on a thin textured paper diamond cutout over a strip of black paper along the bottom. Then, I tied a metallic gold string around the top with a few beads.

For the inside, I raised the background paper using a piece of foam, held down by gold brads. Then, I cut the words out using the Cricut on tan cardstock.

Here you can kind of see that the words are raised a little.

Coffee Filter Art

I thought it would be nice if L made his grandparents a Valentine's card, so we set out with coffee filters and markers. I didn't really plan how it was going to happen, so it turned out good that he just wanted to make dots all over it!

Then, we used the spray bottle... well I used it, he hasn't quite figured it out yet.

 Here is what our filter looked like while still wet.

I cut a heart out of it and placed it on top of a scalloped-edge white heart on the front of the card.

 Here is the inside.

BAM! As easy as that, you have a handmade card by a one year old! Well, sort-of anyways :) Plus, I know this is a little late for Valentine's Day, but the same idea can be used for lots of different types of cards and projects. Have fun and get creative!
