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 created the above card using the heading from the PATRIOTIC SET.  She says:  "I decided to create a pop up card.  Remembering what I had watched on a Sandi Genovese video I decided to apply this to a card.  First, I basket weaved red and white strips and the way it came out was like the stripes on the Flag.  I glued the weaved square to a blue card stock to give it the 4th of July colors.  Placed "Celebrating the 4th" on the front of the weaved section along with more stars and a firecracker. 

Inside of the card, I cut out the two sets of stars that came with the set and attached one star to the pop out tab, and the other set to each side along with extra yellow stars.  Layered blue, red and white cards and placed on the bottom of inside for a message or signing.  Placed another firecracker on one edge and a yellow star on opposite.  Happy Summer every one...and see you next September."

Victoria from PAPER SQUIRREL  used the pinwheel star from The Creative Pointe's PATRIOTIC SET to create this festive banner.  She says:  "The best part of this project is that it's super quick since you're working with multiples of the same cut.  Some gingham ribbon and buttons dress things up a bit.  Visit my blog for all the details!"

Shelissa from SHELISSA'S CRAFT STUDIO used the flags from the PATRIOTIC SET to make her project.  She says:  "Creating this last project for this term I wanted to do something different. We just had a diversity food festival at my job and I created different flags and connected them with fishing wire. This was my inspiration for this project. I created miniature flags and connected them with fishing wire. Really simple project but I really like that you can create these flags of different countries and string them together."

Octavia from T's CORNER FOR SCRAPPIN' made a set of Artists Trading Cards from the PATRIOTIC SET.  She says:  "From the Patriotic Set I used The Statue  of Liberty to make ATC's.  The paper from an old Paris Hilton pack was perfect!  I glittered, embossed and blinged."

Cindy from THE CREATIVE POINTE created a picture using the LIBERTY BELL SVG.  She says:  "I started out with really bright paper but toned it down by distressing and using gold Perfect Pearls.  To get all the details, please click over to my blog".

Tina from TINA'S SCRAP CORNER  made this 2-page scrapbook layout using a few files from the PATRIOTIC SET set. She says:  "I created the layout from a sketch, I used the heading, the flag banner as a tip for the arrow and a couple of stars from the set.  This isn’t your typical 4th of July layout, but the cuts from the Patriotic set gives a 4th of July feel to the layout. To get all the details of the layout you’ll have stop by my blog."

Challenge #16: Father's Day Cards

FATHER'S DAY CARDS

Prize for this challenge is a $5 Gift Certificate for SVG files

from the Creative Pointe's ON LINE STORE.

You'll find over 100 SVG files/sets available for all your paper crafting projects.

Winner will be randomly chosen from all submissions.

One extra special entry will receive the"Creative Choice" button.

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!"
