Thank you for joining us for our fabulous World Cardmaking Day extravaganza! If you are just checking in now, be sure to see THIS post to find out what we're up to today!
We love June and we love Kelly Goree's Father's Day card based on this great PageMaps card sketch...
Stars are always a perfect embellishment for masculine cards and Kelly's multiple stars adds both dimension and celebratory feel! Her faux stitching is perfect against the herringbone paper!
Supplies: Bazzill cardstock (base), BoBunny cardstock (red); Patterned paper, alphabet, element stickers, brads, glazed brads and star detail, BasicGrey; Fiskars star punch, circle punch & 1/8" hole punch; Uniball pen; Pentel pen; Colorbox/Clearsnap chalk ink; Staples

1. Trim a 7"x5" piece of gold paper and adhere to front of 7"x5" card base (opens from bottom).
2. Trim a 6.5"x4.5" piece of denim patterned paper and adhere to center of card.
3. Draw dashed lines along the top and bottom of the denim block with white opaque pen.
4. Trim a 5" star from red cardstock and a slightly smaller star from gold paper. Adhere the gold star over the red, draw dashed lines just inside its perimeter with black pen and then adhere to lower right of card. Trim off any overlap.
5. Trim a 5"x.5" strip of grid paper. Punch along one long straight edge with small hole punch. Trim into each hole from top edge then fray to resemble notebook paper. Trim off sections of yellow diagonal and red herringbone border stickers and layer as shown. Adhere along bottom of star, approximately 1" from the bottom of the card.
