Father Lovers


If you signed up for the StudioDIY newsletter, this is all OLD NEWS but if you didn't (lame!) then here is what I made this week! 3 downloadable and printable Father's Day cards! Kelly wanted to do some "Dad Joke" cards and I was all for it! She came up with the copy and I just made them come to life. Yep, just in case you're behind schedule, we totally saved your booty by GIVING you the perfect card for your poppa!

Work in progress shot. I was SUPER struggling to draw that burger guys. It took me way too long to make it even look semi beef-ish.

I love a good dad joke, but my dad is genuinely the funniest guy I know, so I don't think I ever heard jokes like these when I was growing up. I love them though and apparently readers of StudioDIY are totally loving and relating to these. YAH.

PS. That's jelly lettering and PB lettering... if you're thinking it's anything else... Like blood- NO.

PBJs are like my 2nd favorite food, it's the only think I know how to cook (yes, I consider spreading condiments a special form of cooking) and I literally eat them almost everyday and everyone I know makes fun of me for it. So obviously drew one to show it some more love.

My dad had one of the first cell phones and first laptops ever and I remember them so vividly. HUGE. Also he had an awesome briefcase cellphone that he had in his car and I THOUGHT IT WAS SO COOL!

Burgs are like top ten fave foods at the DeLorenzo house because. Uh. Duh. Like, when I lived in DC I mostly missed In N Out burgers.

If your dad lives too far away for you to physically hand him one of these babies, go ahead and save the file above and send it via email! Hopefully your dad knows how to email, otherwise you're out of luck and you're officially the worst son or daughter ever... Kidding. Sort of.

Anyways, if your dad is nearby and you're seeing him tomorrow, here is the link to the downloadable PDF's that are super easy to print and cut out! Just click HERE, homies! (Heads up, they are an A2 size card (aka 4.25x5.5inches) so go to Michael's or Paper Source or some other paper store and pick up some cutie envelopes for these guys!)

This project was too fun, and I hope you guys love it and love your dad's reactions! Please have a fun, relaxing day with your pops and hug him extra hard tomorrow! Dads are way cool.

Ps. If you think I'm NOT giving these to Papa D tomorrow, you crazy.
I printed mine on a speckled rainbow color paper, they are gorgeous.

Thinking of you and wishing you well!


I designed these and drew the lettering for my family's holiday card. Printed by Haute Papier on peacock paper with brushed silver foil. 

Wishing everyone a bright and happy 2016! Hope it's off to a good start! 

PS.
My resolutions this year are a joke minus all the drawing I'm going to do and all the burgers I'm gonna eat.

Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey

Heading home from the east coast where it's warmer than it is on the west coast. This is my holiday card I sent out this year and it's ironic as all hell... Thanks El Nino!

The background is a pattern I made that I used for the envelope liner, as shown below.


Envelope liner?! What's that? I don't know, just a pretty touch that us paper snobs and stationery geeks add to make letters even prettier. It's my excuse to create a repeating pattern.

Thinking of you and wishing you well!
