Best Dad Ever - Joy Fold Card

Sometimes it takes me awhile to come up with a card.  Most times, I do end up wasting paper.  Even though this is frustrating, I find that the end result is worth the few pennies of cardstock.  This masculine card is a Joy Fold Card.  If you look at the picture you will see that there is a smaller card centered in the middle of the main card base.  I used a Hodgepodge Hardware to hold the smaller card closed.  The picture on the bottom shows the smaller card opened.

*I stamped in Versamark using the tie stamp (from the Best Dave Ever stamp set) onto cardstock, applied clear embossing powder and used a heat gun to set the embossing powder.  I then hand cut the ties out and used Dimensionals to attach them to the front of the card.

This card is available for purchase from me for $5.00 plus $1.25 shipping through Paypal.  Currently the card has Happy Father's Day; however, I can change it to Happy Birthday or Thinking of You.  If you wish to purchase this card, please email me.

Fabulous Florets

You will find this fabulous stamp set in the Summer Mini catalog from Stampin' Up!.  Catalog can be downloaded from the top of my blog page.

Stampin' Up! Products

• Pacific Point card base
• 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
• Basic Black cardstock Layer #1
• 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"
• Whisper White cardstock Layer #2
• 3 1/4" x 4 1/2"
• Fabulous Florets and Sincere Salutations stamp sets
• Old Olive and Riding Hood Red ink
• Dimensionals

The stem was first stamped on Layer #1 using Old Olive ink.  The flower was them stamped on top of the stem in Riding Hood Red ink.  On a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock, I stamped the flower and the leaves.  I cut out the flower leaving a 1/16" inch edge and the leaves were cut without an edge.  Dimensionals were used to "pop up" the flower and leaves.

I have been asked if my cards are available for purchase; my answer is yes.  I will be posting a special section in my blog showing the cards I currently have available for purchase.  The card(s) can be mailed directly to you or I will mail them to your designated recipient.  Check back for more information regarding how you can purchase my cards.
