All About Dad's Blog hop with Chomas Creations engraving tip

Welcome to the All About Dads Blog Hop! We have gathered a talented group of crafters to share their projects with you for Father's Day. We hope that we are able to provide you with lots of great ideas for all the special men in your life.

If you have come from Kristal's at Getting Cricky then you are in the right place. If you stumbled upon my blog and want to hop along, you can do so by starting at Jen's Blog at www.memorieswithjen.blogspot.com.

If there is one thing my family enjoys, it is rocking out to some Guitar Hero!  So for my hubby's father's day card, I thought something fun with a guitar would be perfect for him!  If you have stopped by my blog before, you know how much I love to use the clear plastic cardstock!  It is thin enough to fold in half, yet sturdy enough to make a card out of.  If you would like to try this project, you can download the file for free here... Guitar card
I used the Chomas Creations engraving tip to etch the guitar design from Hannah Montana using Design Studio into the clear plastic, it is the card engrave page in the file.  When using the Chomas Creations engraving tip, you just use it with a regular Cricut mat.

Now without removing the mat from the Cricut machine, replace the Chomas Creations engraving tip with the blade and cut the card cut page in Design Studio.  I used multi-cut of 2 and max pressure and blade depth of 6 to get through the clear plastic.

The clear plastic cardstock is very tough to get a picture of, but I always try!  It shows up so much better in real life!  The title was also cut from Hannah Montana and is in the file as well.  Click on the photos to see better details of my card!  I also added some Memory foil tape to the edge of my card to make it rock even more!  The papers are from Basic Grey's Oliver line and work so well for those manly projects you have to do!
