For Dad Golf Cart -Fantabulous Cricut Challenge project

Hello, for today's My Craft Spot Challenge please click -HERE.

It's another Fantabulous Monday which brings another challenge from Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog, this week we are celebrating our wonderful fathers.

 Challenge #115 -Fathers Day

Make a project using an outdoor theme, camping, hunting, fishing, hiking etc.

For my outdoor theme I choose golf, because my honey is getting a new set of clubs this year... shhhhh.
I have another amazing shape card to share! Do you have Everyday Paper Dolls cricut cartridge and have not played with it for a while?  Well then, it's time to blow the dust of that one and use it!  Yep I used Everyday Paper Dolls cricut cartridge the images are from pg. 54 of the handbook. I used the golf cart, bag with clubs, flag, tee, and the ball image.

By layering several layers and cutting different colors of cardstock for one image you get an amazing 3-d look.  For example, for the golf bag with clubs I used two different colors, red for the bag and silver for the clubs (I also cut the flag pole with the silver at the same time). 

Below: I've cut the red bag three times, for the silver I only needed the clubs cut, so on my gypsy I pulled the image down toward the bottom right of the mat leaving only the clubs and just the top of the bag showing.  

I hope this gives you an idea of how I make my detailed, layered, shape cards.

 I've thought about making a video, if you are interested leave a comment so I know there is an interest ;)

This card will fit an A2 size envelop, my card measures approximately 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"

I love the "for Dad" tag wrapped around the golf cart, it's from the stamp set Tiny Tags, the Bakers Twine name is Vintage Cherry both can be purchased from My Craft Spot.  I love the Tiny Tags Stamp Set.

All the cardstock is from Stampin Up, except for the "designer seat cover" and "steering wheel cover" (patterned paper I had is my stash), the grass cut using the Martha Stewart grass border punch with Coordinations cardstock.

All images were inked up using Tim Holtz Distress Ink -Tea Dye except the tag and blue background.

Here is a side view of the golf bag, 

Close up view of bag, tee and golf ball. I poked holes to give the bag a "faux stitching" look added a stitched 3-d pocket.

Close up of the golf cart, my husband's nickname is "Slick" so I cut the word using the Birthday Bash cartridge, the used the cut out image as a stencil and sponged the word onto the cart, looks cool! 

Lifting the golf cart front

I used my Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder to emboss the blue cardstock to look like the sky.

I decided to make this a tri-fold card so there would be a larger area for my girls to write a message to dad. It's longer then 12"x 12" that is why the blue cardstock is hanging over the edge.

That's my Father's Day card, I hope you were inspired in some way.
