Father’s Day/Masculine Card

I will be sharing samples from my May “Stamp a Stack of Stuff” this Thursday with the “Dads & Grads” theme.  Masculine cards are not always easy to think up with the abundance of beautiful floral sets!

I saw this idea done in a recent magazine and got to thinking that our “Sentimental Journey” Designer Series papers fit PERFECTLY into little “shirts”.

The neck was “notched” out at the top, the collar is two rectangles, the tie is the oval punch and a 1 1/4 inch strip of decorative paper cut at the top and Hodgepodge Hardware completed the look.

This month will feature Dads & Grads (or masculine cards for those whose Dads are no longer with us).  My dad passed away September 2004 and I can’t bring myself to “delete” his birthday from my electronic daytimer, makes me a bit sad for the “reminders” two weeks and then one week before, show up, but it is actually harder to just hit “delete”.  So, I designed a nice card and well, dad… this one’s for you!

    Which magazine did you see this pattern in? Darling cards!! I lost my Dad Nov. 2006 and I still have him in my birthday reminder as well.

    Again, love the cards.

    I used the small oval for the top tie “knot” but just cut the sides of the top of the tie (where it meets the knot) on an angle

    Hi there,

    I am just new to stamping. Was the designer series paper used from an older catalogue and if so, do you have any suggestions for paper that I could use that would look this “put together?”

    Thank you!

    Yes, I believe that our Designer Series Paper “Western Sky” has some beautiful pinstripes and weathered/distressed paisleys and other combinations for a more relaxed but masculine print.

    Awsome cards and so creative! I don’t think I could gather together the energy to come up with such great ideas. The cards are really beautiful and any dad should be proud someone put so much thought into something just for him.

    I love the father’s day card. The one that looks like a shirt. Would you mine emailing me the Templet.
