As promised I re-created my Father's Day cards mailed to the troops and here they are. Three different versions!!
This card is so simple and can be created in any color combo and paper choice. Here I used a Sahara Sand card base. The shirt is a 4 X 5 inch piece of Early Expresso card stock. I ran it thru the Big Shot with the Stripes Embossing folder. Leave about 3/4 inch out of the embossing folder to form the collar. Use paper snips and cut in 1 inch on each side along the line where the embossing stops. Fold in to form collar. Round the shoulders with paper snips.
I used the Tie from Dapper Dad stamped in Early Expresso ink on Very Vanilla. The sentiment from Best Dad Ever is also stamped in Early Expresso on Very Vanilla and flagged on the ends using a Square punch. Crumb Cake Buttons were cut with the Sweet Buttons Embosslit. I love how the embossing folder gives the shirt dimension!
Same concept using a Sahara Sand base and Sahara Sand striped paper from the Neutral paper Stack. The Tie is stamped in Early Expresso ink on Gumball Green card stock and Early Expresso Buttons. The Sentiment is stamped directly on the base in Early Expresso, also from Best Dad Ever. I outlined the entire shirt with the Early Expresson marker so it would pop off the card base. The Designer paper was embossed with the Stripe folder, but is difficult to see on this picture.
And here is my last shirt using Parkers Patterns from the Mini catalog. I love the contrast of the reverse side of the paper and the Crumb Cake Buttons! The card base is Not Quite Navy and the Happy Birthday was stamped in Not Quite Navy ink on Very Vanilla card stock. Sentiment from Best Dad Ever!
