Father's Day Card #2/ CWC Color Challenge #32,

Happy Friday Everyone! I finally had a chance to do a little crafty stuff. The kids are officially out of school as of last Friday and they are keeping me busy.

I got a Father's Day card done from my kiddos to my FIL. He LOVES golf. And, this is close to how his living room looks. His most favorite thing to do is have a cup of coffee in his fav. chair and watch golf on a Sunday afternoon with his chocolate lab "Captain" at his feet.

I didn't want to buy the Father's Day cart just because I wanted the recliner, game remote and the TV remote control. (I may regret next year not getting it). So, I creatively improvised!!



DETAILS:

This is a beige 5x7 card.

I found some clip art for a TV, chair and remote that I downloaded, printed off on white cardstock and then traced onto tracing paper for the details. Then traced onto cardstock a couple more times and cut out. I wanted to add some depth by layering it 2 or 3x. And, I wanted the detail shadowing on the chair.

The chair I used brown and black watercolor pencils and brown chalk ink. I probably didn't do the best job, but it will work. This is the reason I don't have copics and stamp cards, I don't have the patience for it LOL (or the extra $).
The picture was some CM sticker print paper I have had FOOOORRREVVVER and I just cut a design out and stuck on a square of brown paper. The wallpaper is also CM sticker paper. The tan paper for the carpet is from Bazzil.

Carts: Table & lamp (both 1.6)--Serenade, Dog (.80)--Paper Pups, Books (1" and cut apart)--Locker Talk, Coffee mug( .50) and Square for Pillow (.45)--Gypsy Wanderings. The word "Golf" is from Nates ABC's (.50). Golfer (1.30)--Car Decals. I just inked the details like the shirt, hat, wheels and golf club.

The face for the golfer is a 3/8" from Peachy Keen--snow cuties. Cardstock colors are: Terra Cotta (for pot), 2 shades of green (plant), 4 shades of brown (lamp and table) Cream (lampshade) Brown (dog & picture) Kraft (for Golfer), Yellow (the word "Golf"), Black for TV

Father's Day Card #1

Happy Monday! Here is my first Father's Day Card. This is a wallet card and my DD saw this and wanted to make one.

Details:
You will want to use so thick cardstock and it can even be textured. Or, you can emboss it with your cuttlebug.

I used a brown cardstock from Bazzil and cut as follows:
Piece #1 at 9 x 3.25
Piece #2 at 8.5 x 3.25
Piece #3 cut 2 pcs at 4 3/16 x 2"
Piece #4 cut 2 pcs at 4 3/16 x 1"


I ran the big pc through my cuttlebug with the mosaic folder, then inked with chalk ink in brown roan. All pieces were inked in brown roan.
**Piece #1 was scored at 4 7/16 AND 4 9/16. You will have a little tiny book "spine."
**Piece #2 was scored at 4.25.

You can also use a corner rounder on Pc #1 and can use a paper piercer and faux stitching.

To assemble the layers: Open up Pc #1, glue only the 3 sides of Pc #2 (leave the long side of the top open--as if you were putting money in the long side), then Pcs #3, one on each side of the fold and glue only 3 sides, (leaving top open to slide stuff behind). Finally, take both pcs off #4 and repeat (leaving top open to slide stuff behind).

NOTE: There will be a little gap down the middle of the center fold.

Lastly, you can type up anything you want to put inside...take a picture of the kids together (which I will do), make "Coupons" or Certificates or cute business cards. And, put his favorite gift card in it.

I cannot take credit for this design, there are many tutorial videos out, can't remember where I saw these directions now.
