Today, I’m sharing a Father’s Day card using Hunkydory – Moonstone – What A Catch Card – MSTONE537 die that I made for our dads. Both of our dads love to fish and I thought this was the perfect die set when I saw it. Wishing everyone’s dad a very Happy Father’s Day today and everyday!
To create the card, I began with a card base of 6″ x 6″ using AC Cardstock – White. For the main background I attached Stampin’ UP! – Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper cut to the same size as the base with double-sided tape. Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Blueprint Sketch and a finger dauber were used to ink around all of the edges. Using a combination of my Cuttlebug, My Creative Time -Stitched Squares Inside and Out – 4.5″ x 4.5″ and Moonstone – What A Catch Card die, I die cut the image out of Recollections – Black cardstock.
Forever In Time – Glam Glitter Cardstock – Ombre Pastel was cut to be just slightly smaller than 4.5″ x 4.5″ and then U-Line double-sided pop-up tape was added to the back of the die-cut image. I removed the tape and then attached the Glitter cardstock on top. This allowed me to line up the 2 pieces easier. For the sentiment, I decided to use my Cricut Explore and Cricut Design Space to create the text and shadow, using some spare blue cardstock and Recollections – Black cardstock. Once the sentiment and shadow were die-cut, I ran the lettering through my Xyron Create a Sticker and attached the 2 pieces together.
U-Line double sided tape was attached to the back of the combined image and it was popped up onto the card. Scrapbook Adhesives – 3D Foam Strips – Permanent Black was added to the back of the sentiment pieces and they were popped up onto the card to finish it off.
