Let’s Get Krafty-Ink Blended Version

• If you are using your Cricut to create the elements of this card—
• use THIS LINK ( to get to my free design in Cricut Design Space )

This link will take you to your Cricut Design Space “Home” page. And my design should automatically show up. Then, if you’re not planning to change the size of anything, just click on the “MAKE IT” button. You will be directed to the cutting mats page. Then you simply follow the prompts, add your chosen card stock onto the mat and allow your machine to cut these card stock elements for you. Also, have your Cricut pen ready for the “pen then cut” sentiment. Use a sheet of white card stock for the trees and the hills. You’ll need a sheet of white card stock in your printer for the “sticker” elements to print then cut.

Once you have all of your elements cut out: tree line, hills, golf cart layers, golfers, sentiment and message-place them to the side of your work surface and prepare for your ink blending.

Building Your Golf Themed Father’s Day Card

• To finish your ink-blended card. Adhere your trimmed panels to your card base. Then adhere your 2 ink-blended lighter colored hills to the left and right side panels. These hills should be trimmed to 6 inches in length.
• Now, place your completed golf cart wherever you think it should go. And place your sentiment on the front of the card.
• Finish this up by trimming a piece of white card stock to 3.25 x 5.75 and adhering it to the center of the back of the card base. And then add your “print then cut” message ( Tee Riffic Dad” ) onto that. Adhere your golfer “ if using” wherever you wish.

• Use Glue to adhere the colorful pieces onto your golf cart base. You can choose any colors you wish for this golf cart-just by adding your choice of colored card stock onto your cutting mat. For example, if you want the golf cart to look similar to their personal golf cart and theirs is red with a white top, then just choose those papers. That’s a cute way to personalize this card.

Keeping It Krafty

In closing, I’d like to thank you again for joining me here today. This has been a really fun-fun fold card to make. Bridge fold cards create a nice 3D effect and stand up beautifully. I was inspired to make this card because of the views I see from my windows every day. And these cards are simply a whimsical version of that view. (See photos below) Golfers are just built different, right?

Nothing seems to stop them from playing. If the golf course is open, they’re there. From 35 degrees and howling winds to 99 degrees of humid horror, they will play! So these are the people who will love to receive a hand-made card like this one. Father’s Day, birthday, Christmas(oooh, there’s a thought) or whatever you like, this golf themed card will be perfect! I made the ink blended version of this card because I wanted to experiment with using the Cricut and card stock to make a stencil and a mask for ink blending. Then I decided to make one without any ink blending. The Cricut Only version is the quickest and easiest way to create this golf themed Father’s Day card. I have not tried making a card like this one without a Cricut. But I already know that would be pretty easy and lots of fun also! So, no matter what it is that you decide to make, just make it your own. And always remember to keep it krafty!
