Star Dad Card ... in 3 Simple Steps

I have a card to share with you today. I used one of the sentiments from the new 'Star Dad' set.

The design is very simple. But I've used different textures - a recycled card base & glitter textured stars - to add interest. I think combining different textures works well for men's cards.

And it was ever so simple to make too. And quick. This is how I did it, in 3 simple steps.

1. I took a 135mm Square Card base from Paperchase, and trimmed 45mm from the front edge.
2. I cut a 130mm square piece of patterned paper and fastened it, centrally, to the inside.
3. I added my sentiment and some die-cut stars to the front ...




... taking them around the back of the card too for extra interest.

And my card was done!





The patterned paper is a newer version of the 'Vintage Stars' design from The Colour Collection.
I'll tell you about that, and a couple of other new designs, next : )

• Card Base: Chalk Square Recycled Card base. From Paperchase,
• Patterned Papers: Coming Soon!
• Sentiment: 'Star Dad'
• Star Dies: Papertrey Ink
• Glitter Card & Paper: Papermania

Especially For Your Dad

Here they are ... my new Image Stamps. They're suitable for cards for different occasions. But they are all designed especially for cards you want to make for your Dad : )
