Father's Day times 2!

 Happy Friday!!!  It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.  This week, the challenge is: Masculine

Here is my card(s) for your inspiration:

I rarely ever make more than one of the same card, because I like doing and trying new things.  But, Father's Day was zooming closer and I still needed cards for my dad and my father-in-law.  When short on time, doing the same steps at the same time makes card making a whole lot faster.  I just got these fun mustache dies from MFT Stamps and since both dads have mustaches, they seemed a fitting focal element.  I used a cream card base to better match the more vintage feel of the patterned papers I used.  I die cut the dotted paper with a stitched rectangle die and the journal paper with a notebook border die.  I then die cut the mustaches out of brown cardstock.  I didn't cut the dies apart yet, so I used a piece of washi tape to hold the die cut pieces in the dies, added adhesive to the backs of the mustaches and then (keeping them in the dies) adhered them to the journal paper.  It was the perfect way to keep everything lined up perfectly!  Then I stamped "Happy Father's Day", adhered all the layers together and voila!  Done!  Two quick, easy and rather fun cards finished in record time!  Here is a closer up shot of just one of the cards.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created.
