Take to the Sky for Father’s Day
In a few days it will be Father's Day here in Australia, so there is still time to create a handmade card for the special person in your life. This is one of the cards we made at my August class using the Take to the Sky patterned paper.
This is a great masculine paper with a travel/aeroplane theme. We have used the aeroplane design and Copper Clay check for this simple fancy fold card, but the layout would work well for any coordinating papers for any occasion.
This is an Accordion Fold card, giving you a number of panels to decorate. To simplify the card I adhered the first narrow panel with the aeroplane design to the second panel so it would not need a belly band to keep it closed. I think it is less fussy for a masculine card. My husband told me that he doesn't like pieces that are separate to the card (like a belly band), so I took on board his feedback! The base card is cut from Misty Moonlight card stock which isn't a designated colour, but it blends really nicely with all the papers. The greeting from the (retired) Celebrating You stamp set was stamped in Copper Clay ink and cropped with a die from the Nested Essentials Dies. I popped it up on the next size die cut using Misty Moonlight card stock and finished with the Industrial Trinkets at each end.
On the inside of the 2nd panel, I have used another of designs to create a gift card holder at the bottom and the sentiment from the Attention Shoppers stamp set was heat embossed in white at the top. The 4th panel is for writing your message and I have stamped the greeting from the (retired) Inspired Thoughts stamp set in Copper Clay ink and the panel finishes with another strip of the areoplane design paper.
The card is also perfect for a masculine birthday and I've changed up the greeting in the image above, which is also from the (retired) Celebrating You stamp set and stamped with Copper Clay ink. I filled in the 'birthday' word with a Light Boho Blue Stampin' Blends marker.
