This one turned out just the way I saw it in my head. Love it when that happens! It will go to play at C(ASE) This Sketch, and also at Addicted to Stamps.
Hope he likes it...
I started out with an aqua-greeny base. I found an old pad of 6x6 papers from MME, and die cut a WPlus9 circle, which I split for the "d's," and an MFT triangle for the "a." Popped the letters on a white strip and called it done.
And while I am here, how about another coffee card for Amy's Coffee Lovers Blog Hop? Okay! You are playing along, aren't you? You still have time to enter, so don't be shy; come play!
I made this:
I had a scrap of that coffee paper left over from a few years back, and found it just in time for this hop. The base is not black, nor is the sentiment. They're really navy blue, but we have an overcast day and nothing is photographing the way I'd like it to...I don't remember who made the paper, but the "coffee" is from Verve, and the "& you" are from PTI. Pretty EZPZ! And now it's time for me to look at the bill pile. Ugh. I'd rather be making cards!! Have a wonderful weekend, and as always...

Oh my goodness Bev! LOL it took me a while to figure out the joke! LOL What can I say I'm a little slow. I love that your Dad still has his sense of humor. My Dad, also 89 (in July) is also a fun loving character : ) He's gonna love his card!!

How wonderful that your Pops is still so sharp-witted, Bevie! We should all be so lucky! Tell him I loved his riddler and, yes, it did take me a minute! I love both your EZPZ designs, especially your very clever way of making "DAD" with a circle and a triangle! You are so inspiring with your use of pp!! Miss you! 🎄Happy Holiday Hugs, Darnell

Great coffee card too. Always good to use up some older supplies. xx
What a genius, way to spell DAD! I love both pps, Bev... and laughed because I think my fil used to use that same gag on anyone who would listen! Gosh I miss that guy... his birthday is today!
Complaining about those bill piles is better than having them, my friend!
Be blessed... love and hugs...

Hi Bev! Stopping by for a visit ... what a hilarious story of your dad and his birthday : ) And I super love the card you made for him! Making letters out of common shapes is such a smart idea!! Very clever.
