Here's is what I created using the card stock included in the workshop bundle.  I also used Artistry Cricut Cartridge available with the cartridge (Z3167) or digital (Z3190) to create the Rad Dad image for the card.

1/2 inch strips of almond and toffee, using both sides I really have 4 colors! - glitter paper for the cricut image "My Dad is RAD"  weaving strips of paper is a great way to use scraps.  I also added a little splash of toffee. 

Stamp set "Splash of Color" (D1733)

TWO MORE CARDS

I used Toffee ink to dye the burlap ribbon.
