Tomorrow is Dad's day. I am blessed to be married to a man who is an awesome dad. I couldn't ask for more. The kids adore him. Me too. :-)
We made him a fun gift card holder that I thought I'd share here. He loves his ipod...Angry Birds anyone? So, we stuck an itunes card inside.
I cut the guitar shape using my Cricut and Gypsy. This is the biggest reason I love my Gypsy -- I can take any shape and weld it to another of the same shape (just flipped) to create a shaped card base. Quick and fun. :-) I stamped it with some images from a couple of the Boy Basics sets from Papertrey, and also some Grunge Me...also a Papertrey set.
Here is another example of a shaped card I did with my Cricut and Gypsy. This one is published in the July/August issue of Paper Crafts, which is on sale now! You can get your copy HERE. There is a whole section on creative ideas for using your dies and diecutting machines!
That's all for tonight...I hope you're having a great night and have a great day celebrating Dad tomorrow!

That card really rocks!
I'm an angry bird fan too. My son has an ipod so I have to wait for him to go to school. But we both try our best to get 3* everywhere.
