Handmade Paper Hugs

Hello everyone! So, Father's Day in Denmark was actually this Friday, June 5th. This image sort of looks like my dad, but not really. I mean, wearing... not a lot, laid back - more like lying, a mug full of gin... nahhh, only on weekends (not true, guys), remote in hand? Definately! The image is a digital stamp from Dr. Digi and is cut with a rectangle die from Simple and Basic.

Totally teal embossing glitter. The big block letters are MFT and the sentiment simply means: Dad, you're super!

Hi everyone! Father's day is always on June 5th here in Denmark,  and I made this card for my daughter to give to her daddy.
