Birthday Card for Dad

It was my Dad's birthday this week

and this is the card that I made

for him.

The tools and the background are not 

from Stampin'Up! but I saw this awesome

card when I was at the Craft Expo last month

and just had to have the dies to create a

similar card.  I love the way it has

turned out.

To create the tools I firstly die cut with

Silver Cardstock (SU Silver Shimmer 
which has now been retired) and then 
die cut again with Basic Black Cardstock. 
I then snipped the tops off the black
 set of tools and glued them over the 
top of the silver sets of

tools.  Voila - an awesome and realistic

looking tool set.

The peg board I die cut from cork.

The Stampin'Up! supplies I used to create this

card were:

You Make Me Happy

I am always loving flower stamp sets and matching punches and can't help myself I just have to have them.

I just love the bright cheery colours in this card.  Yellow always reminds me of being happy.

I have used the small splotch (flower centre) from the Petal Potpourri Stamp Set to randomly stamp a pretty background on the white cardstock layer.

The Happy die cut is from the Hello You Thinlets Dies which I have also matched up with a saying from the Crazy About You Stamp Set.

I think I am going to get so much use out of these dies and matching stamp set as there are so many different sayings you can create.  Great that you can also purchase as a bundle saving yourself 15%.

The actual flower I have used on this card is from the Petal Potpourri Stamp Set.  The leaves I have created just by punching out a flower from the green cardstock and then trimming a couple of the petals to look like leaves.

Supplies used:

Cardstock - Daffodil Yellow, Whisper White, Basic Black, Garden Green

Ink Pads - Daffodil Yellow, Black Momento

Stamp Sets - Crazy About You, Petal Potpourri

Punch - Flower Medallion Punch

Die - Hello You Thinlets Dies

Miscellaneous - Vintage Facet Button, Black Twine

A very quick and easy card.
