Father's Day Card






Thought I'd just write a quick post to show you my Dad's Father's Day card. It's my first attempt at a tri-shutter card, and it was a bit more complicated than I expected! I cut 3 different card blanks before I got one that folded and laid properly, but I am quite pleased with the finished result.

It was also my first time using Craft Serif Artist, which I actually found relatively easy. I have been a digital scrapbooker for about 6 years, and usually use photoshop elements, but came across Serif Artist when I bought the Party Paws DVD from Crafters Companion. 

I'm a HUGE fan of the 'Born to Shop' cartoons and when I saw they'd done a 'Bloke' version, I just had to get the kits!



Card - from Crafters Companion, folded using Ultimate Pro
Papers - It's a Mans world by Claire Curd (papermania)
Embelishments - Bloke at Leisure from Daisytrail

  8. Great card - I wouldn't have thought to put the spots with the tartan backing paper but they blend perfectly!!! The tri folds can be hard to balance, but this is great. Thank you for sharing it with us at Crafty Cardmakers.
