Front: The front was made with Cricut's Storybook Cartridge. I used white cardstock and then took Distress Inks “Faded Jeans” and “Tea Dye” and used the ink applicator to shade it. To finish, I added K and Co. chipboard stickers.
For the inside, top I found some striped paper and cut strips of them and pasted them together around a sentiment that I found online. (My dad's into the corney jokes so I thought it was appropriate.)
Under that I used the Cricut's Home Accents Cartridge. I did the blackout and the shadow so I had 3 layers. I used pop dots for dimension. Those 3 layers were white cardstock but I used 2 Distress ink pads...”Peeled Paint” and “Faded Jeans” on them.
For the bottom: I took a stamp of a balloon and put it on white cardstock. I used Faded Jeans and Tea Dye distress ink pads on them. I colored in the balloon with metallic gell pens (from walmart's scrapbook section) To finish, I used the Fabulous Finds Cart. To cut out a tag. I used blue cardstock this time. I took another clear stamp for the “happy b-day”. For the “DAD” I used the storybook cartridge. I
Inked the side of the tag heavily with Faded Jeans.
