Golfing Father's Day Card

Happy Wednesday!

I'm sharing a DT card that was featured on the Fiskarettes FB page on Friday. 

I know a lot of Dads that play golf so I decided to make a card incorporating a golf ball as I knew I could emboss the card to make it look more realistic. 

I used chalk ink for the background which I really enjoyed, using a makeshift stencil for the hill outlines. 

I cut the grass by hand and layered it to give a 3D effect. I did the same with the golf tee, cutting layers by hand. 

For the sentiment I used a stamp from a set I got with a Docrafts magazine - it's a really useful one for Father's Day cards. I die cut the rest of sentiment from the Trimcraft alphabet dies. 

Thank you for taking the time to look at my post and your comments are much appreciated.

IHappy Tuesday!

I've made a window box card for Mother's Day using Fiskars punches. It's on the Fiskarettes UK FB page today complete with a step by step tutorial. 

I used a heart punch for the leaves and the very pretty eglantine punch for the little flowers. I find punches are a great way to use up scraps of papers!

Thank you for looking and your comments are much appreciated.

Happy Wednesday!

Well, it looks like the spotlight was taken away by my son in my last post - we were both very grateful for all your comments.

It's my youngest son's birthday today and I made him a giant Lego blocks card - it's an 8x8 card and I used a Fiskars medium circle. I then inked the circles to give more of a 3D illusion and used foam pads to adhere. 

It just so happened the card is on the Fiskarettes UK FB page on the same day - what a coincidence!

Needless to say the recipient was really pleased with it........

We're off on a birthday day out today so will catch up again tonight!

Happy Wednesday!

It's been wonderfully sunny for the past couple of days although very cold. The daffodils and crocuses are in full swing in the garden......

This is my first Design Team project for Fiskarettes UK and I really enjoyed making it. 

It's hard to keep certain people away from their mobiles and my husband is one of them! So I thought this card would be ideal!

I used the Fiskars intricate love punch for the focal point on the mobile screen. So far it's cut through everything I've used it on including glitter card. 

As an added focal and textural addition I used an eyelet on the button. I hadn't used an eyelet setter or eyelets before but it was really simple to use. 

Thank you for taking the time to take a look.
