Birthday Card for My Dad

I made this card for my dad's birthday next week. 



Here's the story of the jeans (which are meant to look very well worn!)  My dad is very handy and has been building an addition to a shed.  He wears these jeans when he works (there are at least double the patches though!)  He wore them out once when we were visiting over Christmas and my mom was mortified!  I think it's hilarious!

I used the Cricut cartridges Elegant Edges for the scalloped edged rectangle and Everyday Paper Dolls for the "holey" jeans.  The stamp comes from a clear set -Heidi Grace Birthday Cake Surprise.  I used Core'dinations Cardstock for the jeans, which I distressed to make them look old and worn. I used foam adhesive to pop up the jeans.  On the inside I'll write something about how it's his day and he can wear his jeans all day if he wants to!

  1. These are adorable! I have to copy for my husband's birthday on Jan. 28. He has a pair that he LOVES, and they are toooooooo "distressed". LOL

    I'll make this card and he'll love it to be able to wear them ALL day on his birthday, too! Do you have gypsy file to share?
