Father's Day Card kits featuring a shirt and funky tie

I made up another set of card kits for my sister to use at her day care!!!  These are for Father's Day and feature a fun tie on a shirt.  I found all sorts of examples done in a variety of ways on line and so came up with my own pieces.  I created a tie in Corel Draw and printed them the right size for use with these envelopes.  I trimmed a lot of cards in fun colours to fit in the larger envelopes and then found some coordinating papers to make it interesting.  I cut the decorative papers just a smidge smaller than the card fronts so they kids can easily glue them in place without anything sticking out.  I marked the back with a triangle cut out which the adult caregivers will have to cut out for the kids.  Once the decorative paper in glued in place they will have to score the two sides of the V so the shirt collar will fold nicely to the front.  The tie then can be decorated and dried in any way they wish and then glued in place just under the collar!!!  I used blue watercolour for the background colour and  then stamped large circles with a hard sponge shape in yellow.  Once they were dry I added blue Stickles glitter glue!!  Once that was dry I added it to my card.  I made 23 card kits and this is my sample and included instructions for the caregivers!!    I have made St. Patrick ones and Easter ones too!!  Will see my sister this weekend and will find out how those went with the kids and caregivers!!  Therese
