So you can take my class and other classes from one month machine. A very happy Father's Day. 2. Father’s Day Supplies: Sydney need a coupling constant for this class. So any plain simple constant, any shape or size, you can have a card that's way smaller than this or different shape. That's absolutely fine. I've used it. And this is what we'll be using, just regular paper. But strips away that we'll be using any paper that you flex your dad's hobbies, personalities, and even you can have you can find paper that has words on it, then help them make the cod pop up. There'll be like that. It'll show and reflect his personality. So you can say, awesome, Great. Any words that you want, they will infer that loves gardening. You haven't, you can have a garden theme, relax traveling. You can definitely do that. I'm going to just quickly show you this is basically how much paper. It's just a strip. And I'm using my ruler to do this. I hardly use a scissors in this class. I don't even use this as this in this class. I'm basically just ripping the paper and just placing it on the card. Like so. Any, any people that you love and color, any design that you want, you can completely and totally up to you. And next thing is you may use scissors. If you don't want to do the repair with a ruler, you can. This is a spec. Throughout this whole class. I never used it. Then I've used these blue dots, they're 3D blue dots, and therefore a company called, company called exons. And this is how the box looks. Pretty thick and sticky, but it really gets the job done. And also, I've used a double-sided tape. This is how it looks and you can use glue for this class as well. I actually did want to make it messy because sometimes when you use glue, paper becomes little bubbly. It just depends. So I still want to use it. And then a bone folder that's optional. And I used these stones just to that you can place in the center of the car, put it inside. Or you can just say to your day or five-star that. And then use these alphabet tiles that for Michaels craft store. And if you don't have these, so you're unable to get to their crafts towards you create this card. I have a video at the end of the class showing you how to create these tiles. They could been very simply. Then the last thing you'll need is a ruler because you need to read those papers. In this way. You don't need to do as a citizen. So I'll see you the next video. 3. Have fun ripping papers!: Hi folks, daisy here. I hope you've all been doing well. Thank you for joining me in creating this Father's Day card for your dad or the person who has a fatherly figure in your life where they'd be older brother was just simply your dad? Can take your card store in your store. Card stock might be different than mine. That's absolutely fine. I'm just going to use my bone folder just to fold it over the preschool line, just so that it just gives it a clean fold when it opened it up and discipline the lines appear. They ever since I got my bone folder and just finding an excuse to use it. Now comes the fun part of these papers because I wanted to use a sports theme. I'm saying that my dad loves soccer when I was younger, I was always playing soccer quite a bit, so I thought I'd do this for my dad and I was lucky enough to find them. These papers are at Michaels and I grabbed them quickly, them like all this is so cool because, um, it will be just perfect for what I need, what I had in mind. I just wanted to show this video because only now is just strips of paper that we'll be putting onto our card where they put the deck, please, please sports or anything else that he loves. He can you can have the paper reflect that. Then. I have this white edge of the car. Like they don't really take the paper. When I'm putting this strip stone, I'm not putting it right at the edge of the card stock. There's still some blank spots left. But I'll show you what I mean. Rip up this one. So let's get this going. So I'm just going to align my ruler on the edge is two. A quick rip. This just take your strip so you can align it or coordinated whatever you like. I'm just not taking it right to the edge, but I'll be just falling right at the tibia. Just gauge how much the sizes. Just take you learned and just rip off the tip. This is how it looks. So it doesn't go right to the top because it's a more whitespace on the three sides. And I'll do the rest. Absolutely fine coordinating these papers because they don't know what we're looking at. Nice to look nice next to another one, another paper. I think I like it this way. Let's put the basketball, basketball paper right next to the baseball. This is a very simple kind of basically just ripping pieces of paper in different colors. And designs are words that just going to paint, just going to match this one onto the first one. Just to give me an idea. It doesn't need to be straight or perfect because I'm going to open the door same way later on. It's put back onto your code and see how it looks. It had all these strips of paper and you can rearrange everything if we glue it down. So anything that looks good to your eyes. That's all looking for. And I have these strips right here, isn't like Xtra strips and ahead, I'm just going to write it like this. I like the fact that this paper has double-sided designs, words in one side of the ball. So, so I'm just gonna do the same thing again and just use a strip for my god son. Then. I love all these words and I just wanted to use these words and these soft tissues to my advantage. And it looks really cool demonstration, this is very nice. So I'm just going to put it somewhere in the car. I don't know where exactly right now. But if you have something, depends on what kind of paper you have. You can do that and you can let me know different designs and put them on the top of the inside of the comet. See if I can find something. Here we go. This would best on the field. 4. Creative Placement’s : Alright, so let's get the word best on the field. Ripped up. And then a lot of words. On this page, we see up here at the top says defender. I like that too. But I think I like my favorite one is for the best of the field. Let's write down. I'm trying to save all the other, all the other words. Are you for future use? Excuse me. I'm just going to go right around. Rebuffed all the sites. Tight little bit. Got it. Yeah. The best on the field. I'm just thinking I want to put the best of the filling of the piece of paper at the bank. So this checkered paper here, just to have it pop out more. So the words don't get lost on the card. So I'm just going to rip this. Let's rearrange everything and see how, see what we have so far. Now, just a quick note here. The white edge haven't taken the paper right to the edge. So I've left a white space around the car. And what you do next, what you'll do next is just take each strip, just whip out the top parts, the top and the bottom. Don't worry about it. We're looking for that rough texture. Look earlier, if you will repeat a little bit crooked with your ruler, that's absolutely fine. We're just going to place everything on the card and see how it looks and see if we need to make any adjustments. This is how it looks so far. Let me see if I can find something else to insert in-between the papers. How about this blue sheet? It has these airplanes on them. Dad loves traveling or like my daddy also loves traveling. And this isn't a nice, nice insert. Some juice actually going to take off this white edge. In this paper is called airplanes. I call Michaels craft store always names on their papers. So let's skip, put everything aside. Let's move up these airplanes. So we get inserted in-between. Wonderful mother sections. For bonds. I'm just going to rough idea what this size, it's going to rip this again just quickly. I'm just going to rearrange everything. You can overlap the strips of paper with one another. For the airplane in between. Make it the third last strip. Something like this. And like that gives a break from the sports team, puts in something different. Okay, So I'm just going to take my double-sided tape and I'm going to start putting my tape onto all my strips. I'm just going to put this place this down and just rip the edge when it come to the edge. 5. DST The Runway Star: So our double-sided tape is like the star of the show. It easily rips off at the end. So I'm just putting it alongside the top and bottom of our strip of paper. So right after you've done this, just take your bone folder or any other instrument that in half. I find that this really helps. I just scraped along the tops and I'll show you in just a moment, just like this. This helps to press them the double-sided tape down. So the dead Hesiod really sticks to the paper and also the edges too, because it helps me to sort of pull out that paper at it from the top. So I'm just gonna do that right now. If I really pressed it down, pop with it really comes out quick. Like so. I love double-sided tape. It just makes everything so much easier. Because there are times where I don't want to use glue. I don't feel like using on my glue gun or or any other type of phenol, the blues that I have. So there you are. So that's done and I've just left a white edge on the side of the card. I haven't taken the paper right to the corner. I've left a white border. And the second one I'll be placing it just on the top of this, overlap it with the first one. And then my airplane school in the in the third portion, and then the basketball is gone the third side. So this is a good time for you. Make sure you your placements or where you want them to be. This just quickly. Just put your tape on all these trips. So this really is the fun part when you start permanently placing all your strips onto your card stock. So let's get this second one down. I'm just going to overlap it just a little on the first one. So you can overlap it as much or less as you want. So you can show a little bit of the design or more of the design. Just like the name of planes here. I don't want so much of the airplane to show. I just want a small amount showing. So I'm just going to put the airplane in here first on top of our soccer balls. And I'll show you what I mean. So I'm just going to overlap this just like I did with the other two. Then for the last one, I'm not going to overlap, but as usual I'm just going to overlap just a little so that see how my planes only I want only small portion of my planes to show. So I select just overlapped, just a small and a lot more actually, so that I, my planes will show more. Then the next part is trying to see where I wanted to place my word, whether my words the best on the field. And I found this scrap paper I had of this checkered black and white to paper. So I'm just going to put this on top just so that makes it stand out more. And then you can just sort of play around with your words. You can take it right to the top of the card, will keep it in the middle so we can take the top and you can slide it down and see where exactly. It looks good for you. In the middle or the bottom, I actually am choosing to do it at the bottom. I think it kind of holds it in a pleasant they call the strip at the top I written it shows some just going to put this down quickly. I'm just going to place my best on the field on top of it. So I'm just going to find the perfect spot that I found. So right at the bottom over here, I'm going to press that down. 6. We’re almost done, Dad!: Okay, let's get the best on the field of permanent, permanently onto our card. Using our magic double-sided tape. I hope that you've share your card making with me in the project section so we can all see what we've all made. Everyone's kind is going to look different. That's the cool part. Silica. Here we go. So we've got that on. And then I like the placement of it at the bottom. So all placements might be different. Your placement might be different than mine. It just depends on what what looks good. So I have these stars if you reach out, will be placing on the card. And then I'll be using this soccer shoes somewhere on my car with at the top or maybe on the inside. And the stars, of course, I'll be using it either inside or outside. But before I do that, before we decide where to put these, Let's put our dad sign up the titled alphabet. This is made out of wood, so you can easily place it onto your card. If you don't have these, these tiled alphabets, please don't worry about it. I've given a small solution In the last video in this series, so you can create this yourself. Or if you have another better idea, you can definitely use that. Next thing I want to do is just to take a small just one small portion of my star here and just place it like cod. I'm always thinking I was wanting to put it into the center the center of the card, just below where the deck is signers. And I think I'll just leave it there. It looks good. It doesn't look very crowded. So let's just permanently replace our dead signed onto our card. And I'm using my 3D glue dots here. They are quite, are quite a feat actually because the excellent, They actually very sticky. But they really get the job than that. I really loved these. I'm just going to take three of the blue dots out. Just take your tile and just turn over the blue dot onto the tile. And just use your fingers to pull it apart. I assume D. Right over here, I'll show you how it works. It just gives the d, The titled alphabet and lifted look. Even if you don't have glue dots, so you can use double-sided tape as well. Okay, so let's get the a here. I've put the red in the center just so that everything looks centered. So this is the fun part of this company. Said, they say, I love this company for sure, but they say don't use your fingers to touch the glue. Like you don't you don't touch it to touch it with your fingers because it really sticks onto the glutes. But I have no choice. I really need to put my fingers in there to really pull it apart. So just be careful if you have kids, you don't want them to sort of play around with something like this, then you are you've got the debt down nicely. Then I'm just going to be putting a star might get from the center. Let's take out the backing. I liked the backing. It's clear. I'm just going to place this right here, just below the E, So just where the center is. So you can just eyeball it. It looks really nice. Everything looks really put together. Now, we will only want to decorate the inside of the car. So in the next video, we'll be creating something like this. Just going to put my card here, the inside part, the insert. So make it really interesting for dad. So you can have some room to write a message for him. Then you can we can decorate them, put something inside like soccer shoes or any other strip of paper that you want to put. So let's, I'll see you in the next video. 7. Write a heartfelt message : This is our last video where we'll be finishing our Father's Day card, will be putting an insert inside and have this paper that was leftover from my other my first Father's Day card that I created for this series. And it was just the right size and I measured it and it seemed to just fit very nicely onto my card. And I didn't want to waste it because it has all them. It has this whole ball on it, like a whole bunch of soccer ball. So I thought it'd be nice to have the theme carried right through from the outset of the car to the inside. I hope that you are able to do the same thing. Was whether it was sports or gardening or cookie or anything or images. It's kinda showed anything that my dad would love. All that reflected his personality and his hobbies. Here I've just put our DST at the top and bottom. So these are double-sided tape. I'm just going to place this here into the center here. Just press it down. Here is open up like this, and then we have it flipping up. And I loved the words. I just couldn't let go of the words. I thought it'd be a big waste if I don't use it. When did the inside of the card. So the next thing is just take you just need a small white strip of paper. And I'm using just a plain printer paper. I'm just going to cut, I'm just going to eyeball this and just going to cut a small portion, rip it up. Keep this site and I'm just going to measure here a little bit too long. So I'm just gonna I'm just going to cut up some excess from the bottom and just put this back on the top. It just seems to cover the sides of the bone paper. I want the bottom people to really show to take it just a strip off and then place this white sheet onto the center. Like it better like that because you can see the design from all the 34 sides. And then we can put our DST on the top and bottom. By the time you finish making discard, your double-sided tape will be your best friend. We've used this quite a bit. I hope that onto this white sheet you'll be able to write something a heartfelt for your dad, where they'd build a simple thing. Q or simple, I love you. All. You'll get longer message is up to you. We all have different relationships to the appearance and it's totally up to you. So for this one, this portion, remember I'm a soccer ball. I'm going to actually not a soccer ball. Soccer shoes. I'm just going to place it onto the center here. I was meaning to create in the cover of our card, but it didn't work out there. I'm just going to put it inside. And I'm going to put on DST here and then place it onto the center of our car. Anyways, I hope you find a nice message from your heart that yet Your dad would be happy to receive only to be told that will that will appreciate it. I'm sure whatever message you have for your dad, you'll appreciate it and be very thankful for you. So I'm just going to places here onto the center. It can be in the center or just three color to color the way up. It's completely up to you. And then I'm just going to one of the smallest stars. See where I'm going to put a top. Because we do have a star at the front of the card. And then let's put the larger one here. So this is how a car it looks right now. So it is time to middle. Opening up this down the left side and the right side of the center. Your message or your dad right here. I hope that you enjoyed this class and I hope you have a beautiful Father's Day. This is a card ID and can use for Father's Day or any other day. Don't forget to check out the last video on how to make the tile alphabets. 8. No fret! Try this idea: So for this portion of this video, it's called a trie, this idea. So this is for our tiled alphabets. If you don't, if you aren't able to actually find the tiled alphabets at a craft store. Like these ones here. You can definitely create it, create it yourself at home, and create your dad sign. And of course you can use the same idea for any other conduct your wave. So let's get started. So just take some cardboard pieces. So it's not good for sure, but I'm going to use this white one here. And I'm just going to take my ruler. And I had this molecule here. A width is a little bit small, but you can use your regular ruler and just carried according to the size or the size that you want, you can go absolutely larger as well. So I'm just going to put that just on the edge here. I'm using a self-healing mat. If you have one of those, you can definitely take it out and use it. If you don't, make sure you cut on a surface that you don't mind having some scratch marks for our executor knife. So here it is. I've cut that out. So now what we need to do is we need to the square tiles. I'm just going to use my ruler again. Just measure against it. And this is very helpful. Here we are. First tile, first cardboard time. And you can also, if it's too clean and white for you, like this tile, you can absolutely go ahead and paint it. So if you have like a light blue card that you made for your dad and say light blue is the team. Then you can maybe paint this, paint these tiles are darker blue, so it stands out. So you can absolutely do that. Now to write the word Dan, I'm just going to use stamps and you can use we have stems, you can use it. I've got these two stamps here. I'm going to ink pads. I'm not going to be using that. All those ones I'm going to use is this larger one here. My archival ink. I'm just going to dip my D right here. Just very lightly. Just make sure I step in the correct place just a little bit in the center. You can also write this out as well. You can write your leg is out by hand. You don't need to use a stamp. But if you do have some stems from, we can definitely do that. So we've got two of our d's and it's going to get onto the a here. Messy, but you get the drift. So DAD, we've got that done. Then you can place it on your card anywhere that you want. And you can also say a lot of new dad and by using these tile, but by using this type of idea, you can definitely stamp, stamp something up like that for your dad. But for here is we've created a card, it just says Dad, so we're just going to write down dad. I hope you've enjoyed this, tie, this idea option, this video, and I'll see you soon.
