      The current challenge at The Paper Shelter is a yummy one- CHOCOLATE! This is my second entry, the chocolate is a yummy cupcake. I added balloons and some bling so I can enter the card into the current Inspiration Station Challenge (see photo inspiration). The sentiment on the inside is upcycled from an old card.  I attempted to add texture to the straw hat using the same technique I use to make sweaters, scarves, hats, etc. look knitted. Hmmmm. I ended up with a knitted straw colored hat! Oh well, it does look comfy, right?

      I’m entering this card into several challenges including Park Hopping-My Happy Place (My card features many items that are part of the fun on theme parks, including yummy treats and balloons. But the sentiment “Make a Wish” also reflects the fact that visiting a theme park like Disney, Universal Studios, etc.  is a frequent wish for most children/teens… and also many of us adults!), and Colorful Options Monthly Challenge (My card features a pastel rainbow on the front, and brightly colored sentiment rainbow on the inside.)

Supplies: 

·   Digi- from The Paper Shelter (Cupcake Birthday)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Front Sentiments- “Make a Wish” Freebie from Papercraftsmagazine.com (no longer available)

The hardest part of making this card this fun origami Father’s Day Card was picking out the

paper to use. I found instructions on Pinterest that helped me work through the folds of

it's construction. (The template I used appears to have been removed, however, just search for

"Origami Shirt and Tie" and you'll find many tutorials and templates to chose from.) 

 

Supplies: 

·   Origami Shirt Tutorial found on Pinterest (there are many to choose from!)
