Dad b’day card

It was my Dad’s birthday yesterday and this is the card I made to give him.  It looks a little pinky in the picture but the paper was orange!  I used Basic Grey Ambrosia papers and embellishments.

Ingredients:  Fiskars Paper Trimmer, Fiskars Border Punch-Effervescence, Fiskars Stamps-Scrapbook, BasicGrey Ambrosia, chipboard, rub-ons.

Dad b’day card-punch

To start, trim two pieces of paper as per the picture, and then on the one edge of the orange paper I used the new Fiskars Border Punch-Effervescence (available end of Jan) to create a border.  I then sewed all around the paper and onto the card blank.

Dad b’day card-stamps

Using the Fiskars Clear Mini Stamps-Scrapbook I stamped the film strip in black ink.

Add the chipboard words and embellishments and then the white dots were rub-ons (have I told you before that I love rub-ons?!  lol).

Lift around the sewn edges to create a more aged look, and its done!

Happy Birthday Dad….x
