#14 - Father's Day

Father's Day is June 17th in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. so the challenge to you this week is to make vintage, shabby chic or primitive FATHER'S DAY cards.

We will choose one random winner who will receive a digi of our choice and a winner's badge to display.  The Design Team will select their Top Pick and the creator will receive a winner's badge and will be in the running for a monthly Guest Designer spot.

This week we are starting to post periodic tutorials from our Feature Artist, Renee Matarese. Renee has created a great tutorial on Pop-up Cards for you and you can find it in the post below, on our sidebar or on Renee's Blog. Here is a sneak peak of her card so check out the tutorial to see the pop-up features and the steps she took to get to the finished product


Our other designers have also created fabulous Father's Day cards to inspire you this week so now we want you to get creative and show us what you make to honour a Father in your life.
