This is a quick and fun card I created for Father’s Day using the new Cricut Chalkboard Fonts cartridge. I was inspired by some chalkboard art that I saw on Pinterest.
The card is a standard A2 size (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″). On the black cardstock, I inked the edges with white ink. While doing so, I managed to smear the ink all over myself — and on the front of the cardstock, too. So I took a sponge and lightly went over the front to make it look like a chalkboard that had recently been erased – which is the look I was going for anyway.
The dad is from the Cricut Car Decals cartridge. I like the way the Chalkboard Font looks with cuts from the decal cartridges.
The font I picked to use on “Father’s” has lots of very small pieces. Because I knew I would never be able to glue all those small pieces of cardstock to the front of the card, I chose to cut everything from vinyl. I still had to be very careful when weeding the vinyl to make sure those small pieces stayed in place.

This is one adorable card! You are so right, the Car Decals are perfect with the font!
Adorable card! I think the chalkboard font with the car decals works perfectly together. Great idea using the vinyl with this font.
