When Your First Love Turns 89

We all know the first guy a girl loves is her Daddy, right?  

Again this March 4, I'm one lucky girl to still have mine alive and doing well.  Part of our family gathered this afternoon for lunch to celebrate his 89th and I'd like to share the card I made for him. 

I used several different stamp sets, embossing folders and special papers for this wild card that all started with a 'Dad Joke'.

The background is the Cuttlebug Happy Birthday 3D Embossing Folder with blue Distress Oxides, then secured to the card base.  The orange matting is painted and stamped paper that I made following Stamp Camp 2023! It's so perfect for this card! 

The Old Man is from My Favorite Things,  Old Friends and the sentiment is from Lawn Fawn, Dad Jokes.*

*Note: These stamps are really small and I stamped them, scanned and enlarged them to fit my card space.  

For the inside, I used a mountain embossing folder and the other part of the orange paper from Stamp Camp for the matting.  The 'sleeping dinosaur is from  Tracy Hey, Hey You Rock and the enlarged sentiment is also from the Lawn Fawn's Dad Jokes.  I completed the card with the coordinating Happy Birthday die cut across the bottom. 

Dad always enjoys my card creations ~ but not as much today as he did this ice cream sundae our waitress brought out for him!

Part of our family ~ 

Thanks for stopping by today to see what I've been making. 

See you soon!
