Ready for some inspiration? Let's take a look at what the Design Team created using SVG diecuts.

Carolyn got busy and created three different cards using files from the Car Set.   She says: "I created the top card's 'Happy Father's Day' sentiment using my Silhouette Studio DE Print N Cut feature; also cut the backing out of poster board and adhered with foam tape.  Brads and a white bead used for embellishing; plus silver liquid pearls used for the dots and door handle.  On the middle car I used Silver Liquid Pearls for the vents on the front; and rubbed some Colonial shade of metallic rub-ons in different areas on car to represent rust.  Happy Father's Day is from TeenyTiny Word sentiments by Stampin Up.  Finally on the bottom card, I cut the prongs off a big brad and adhered with a glue dot; and the wheels was created with same type of brads."  See more at Carolyn's blog: Granny Ma's Creative Blog

Octavia used this shaped card file and says:  "The Dad Is King cut was super easy to use. Plus it gave me the opportunity to use bling and shiny paper.  Seeing that we are in Cardinal Country I went with the red, white and black, which gave the card great contrast.  Used silver paper for the crown and embossed hearts on the crown filler, used some red bling to finish it off."  Be sure to check out Octavia's blog:  T's Corner For Scrappin'

Ruth used lots of great metallics and texture on her "manly" card!  She says:  "I had a blast using The Creative Pointe's DAD Wrench file, some silver and denim papers and an embossing folder to create this Father's Day card that I think would be perfect for that handy dad everyone should have! I sure hope you'll play along and celebrate dad with us!"  See lots more at Ruth's blog:  Paper and Musings

Cindy created a colorful card for her dad using the cart file from the new Golf Set.  She says:  My Dad is an avid golfer so I wanted something bright and fun for his day.  I shaded and highlighted the cart with Distress Markers to give it dimension."  Check out Cindy's blog for the details:  The Creative Pointe

Heather created a cool car using lots of decorative papers and a file from the Car Set.  You'll need to hope over to her blog to get all the details:  My Artistic Adventures

Shelissa also chose to use the shaped Dad Is King card.  Such a great embossed background too!  Check out her blog for more details:   Shelissa's Craft Studio

Carmen used the Gear Frame to put together all the pieces to this great card.  She says:  "This is the perfect card for my dad as he was a mechanic for many years and he loves old cars."  See more at Carmen's blog: Carmen's Creations

Tina has a great card with a "punny" sentiment perfect for golfer dads.  She says:  "A Father's Day card in honor of my own father who loved to play golf :) I used The Creative Pointe's newest cut file, Golf Set. This is one you can't do with out if you have a family member that plays golf, everything is there that you would need and it would work for miniature golf too.  To check out the inside of the card, well you'll need to come by the blog. Happy Memorial Day :)".  Tina's blog:  Tina's Scrap Corner

Ready for some inspiration? Let's take a look at what the Design Team created using SVG diecuts. For detailed information and/or instructions, please click on their blog link.

Carolyn from GRANNY MA's CREATIVE BLOG  used the NUMBER ONE DAD file to create a shaped card.  She says:  "I used Kraft type cardstock for the base of the card.  I created a shaped card by laying the shadowed piece of the image on the edge of the card, and joined together creating a card base.  The card is created from a plaid design I found on My Memories Suite scrapbook software, exported to my file, and then printed giving me the plaid look of a shirt.  For the inside of the card, which is white, I cut a piece of kraft cardstock to about 3 inches and glued to the inside...contrasting the colors.  I wanted a tie created out of design paper and had a pad of these small to medium size paper.  Decided on the black polka dot for the tie, and layered on to a shadow of the SVG cut.  Put it all together and presto...a Father's Day card for my son over-seas."

Cindy from THE CREATIVE POINTE created this shaped card using the new DAD IS KING CARD.  She says:  "This card combines three of my favorite things to create with:  scrap pieces of decorative paper, Distress Inks and bling!  Click over to my blog for the details."

Victoria from PAPER SQUIRREL also used the NUMBER ONE DAD file on the front of her card.  She says:  "June and summer fun will be here before you know it, so join in our two-week “Father's Day” themed challenge and get a jump start on a card for dad's special day!  I paired washi tape with The Creative Pointe's "Number One Dad" SVG file to create a quick and quirky card for my dad."

Tina from TINA'S SCRAP CORNER made this card using a file from the CAR SET.  She says:  "I created a card with a classic car from the Car Set collection. This set has five cool cars in it that are great for anything masculine. To get all the details of the card you’ll have stop by my blog."

Shelissa from SHELISSA'S CRAFT STUDIO  shows her take on the NUMBER ONE DAD file, having the lettering extend off the edges of the card.  She says:  "For this Father's Day card I used the Number One Dad cut file from The Creative Pointe website. I cut it out using DCWV metallic dark blue and light blue cardstock.  For the base card I used a grey card stock that I picked up from Michaels."

Octavia from T's CORNER FOR SCRAPPIN' used the versatile TROPHY CARD to make this sparkling card.  She says:  "Using the Trophy file, my favorite gold glitter paper, and black and white cardstock, this Father's Day card is for the #1 Dad!"
