Martin's Father's Day Card

Went with a different style this time. Got the idea from Cricut.com msg. brds. It is called a "joy fold card". the main pc. is kind of in an "L" shape with another smaller typical card shape, only flipped opposite that is attached so that the plum colored L shaped card and the "DaDa" part kind of interlock. Anyways, you have to lift that "DaDa' part in order to open the flap and see what is written inside. More simple than I've made it sound!

Also, I used a pre-made "Dad" from Cricut and then used my Cricut design software and welded the other "a" onto the end so it woudl make DaDa for Emma.
