Just For You... Birthday card for a male.

 Good Afternoon

I have designed a card especially for the men using a black 14cm x 14.5cm card. Tent style. Ideal for any occasion.

Close up:-

I ran the front of the card through a check embossing folder first. Cut a strip of silver card 14cm x 3.5cm and emboss that with the check embossing folder too. Add this to the front section of the card. Stamp the image with Versamark ink and emboss with white embossing powder on black card 13.5cm x 6cm. Matte with silver card and add to the front of the card approx. 4cm from the top. Die- cut four corners, two in black card and two in silver card. Add these to the main card. Run a white stitch around the stamped image and the black corners with a white fine liner pen. Add a greeting using the white embossing powder on black card and finish off with a black string bow as in the picture.

Father's Day Card....

 Good Morning,

Not a very good morning here in Lancashire weather wise, but a good day to be inside crafting. I have designed a Father's Day card using a Kraft 6"x 6" card.

Close up:-

Fold back the front edge of the card. Die-cut a stitched square in patterned paper 13.5cm and add to the card approx. 6cm on the fold. Die-cut two tags one in Kraft card 13.5cm x 4cm and one in patterned paper 13cm x 3cm and stick together. Make two holes at the small end of the tags and add a string bow.  Attach to the main card in the centre. Die-cut two stars, one in Kraft card and one slightly smaller in the patterned paper. Add to the centre of the tags. Add a matching button threaded with string. Cut a cream square 14.5cm square and stick to the inside of the card. Die-cut a stitched square in Kraft card 10cm and attach to the cream. Die-cut a small star in patterned paper and add to the inside top left of the cream card as in the picture. Cut three 3cm squares in the Kraft, cream and patterned paper and cut each diagonally so you have six triangles. Add these to the corners of the card as in the picture. Add the Kraft triangles onto the cream leaving a little of the cream card showing. Run a running stitch around the Kraft card using a fine-liner pen. Add a greeting to the finished card.
