Happy Father’s Day – Best Year
Hi everyone. Today I am sharing one of the two cards I created on my last Facebook Live (2/24/22). I used stamps from the Best Year stamp set to create this Happy Father’s Day card. Recently I was asked to create a masculine card by one of my viewers. For this card I started with a Mint Macaron Cardstock base and followed through with an additional layer using the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder as a background layer. This is not a color I use often, but I love the softness of it even on a masculine card.
The Mint Macaron Cardstock is paired with the Misty Moonlight Cardstock (if you love the shade of blue, hurry and get your Cardstock, Inks and Blends before they retire in June – they won’t last long).
I thought the leaf die cut with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Forever Flourishing dies would be nice to use on this card and applied Misty Moonlight Ink to the bottom portion of the leaf and Mint Macaron Ink to the top portion of the leaf with Sponge Daubers.
The sentiment for the background is inked in Smoky Slate Ink and then the tag is stamped in Versamark and White Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. Linen Thread and Matte Dots were added as well as a wooden leaf (retired) to provide this card with a little bit more charm.
For the inside of the card I added layers of Cardstock and stamped a leaf image to the inside using the same Sponge Dauber technique as above. Now my daughter has a card ready to give her Dad on Father’s Day. Nothing like being prepared – right?
The envelope is also stamped so that recipient receives an especially handsome card.
