Happy Father's Day


Today is Father’s Day and I made this card for my Father in Law who is a golfing fanatic. The image is actually a combination of 3 different digis. The Golf Background is from Digital Designs by Louby Lou and I thought it was perfect, you see many images that are golf themed but not often do you get a background image so I had to buy it. The character is AKV Golf Bag from Bugaboo Digi Stamps and I have decoupaged many of the elements. Eventhough this is an A5 card let me tell you those golf clubs are still tiny!

I used the golf ball from a larger image Golf Ball & Pole by DigiDarla Designs. The papers are from the Woodland Friends paper pack from Docrafts. I used the Fiskars border punch on the edges and the sentiment is a freebie from Hanelie at Desert Diva. If you have never visited her you seriously need to become a follower as she does the most amazing freebie sentiments and makes lovely cards too. Thankyou Hanelie for your generosity J

We are taking Dad out for a curry to our favourite Indian Restaurant tonight so that is tea sorted too!

Materials Used in this Project are as follows:-

Card size – A5
Paper – Woodland Friends from Docrafts
Tools – Letraset Promarkers & Flexmarkers, Fiskars Treading Water border punch, 3d foam
Techniques – Decoupage & Punching


I would like to enter this card into the following challenges (in Alphabetical Order):-

Happy Birthday Paul


Yesterday it was my Hubby's birthday and I took him to see Grease the musical at the Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham. It was a fab evening and they put on a really great show full of energy and all the songs you know and love.

For his Birthday card I made a gatefold design and covered it with a lovely metallic cardstock from my DCWV Mariposa stack. The dancing couple image is a freebie from the Creative Mind of Sylvie coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers. As I had ordered the tickets online and had to pick them up at the box office I couldn't 'give' them to him so I printed some tickets and added the relevant text to it, he was really surprised I was taking him out and had bought him 2 new shirts so he could take his pick of what he wanted to wear.


Of course, being a gatefold card it had a nice surprise inside too J

2 Tickets to Strictly Come Dancing live for January. We have both really got into it this season and enjoy watching it snuggled up together on the sofa. I am so lucky that he likes dancey things and can enjoy them without feeling he is 'not a man' or his manliness is under question and he was delighted with this gift too.

I used some more of the same paper for the inside of the card and the dancers image is from Digi Darla, again coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers. The sentiment is one I made up and is completely true. I am so lucky that after more than 22 years I love him to bits and he still makes my tummy tipple over inside.......

Materials Used in this card are as follows:-
Card Size – A5 Gatefold
Paper – DCVW
Embellishments – Tickets by Dezinaworld
Tools – scissors, 3d foam, Promarkers, Flexmarkers
