I'm sure I've seen these cards before, but I was inspired to make one by my new Repeat Impressions Design Team-mate, Dana Joy. Here is a link to her card. She has a couple links to You Tube videos, but this is the one I found to be the most helpful of the two. I started with a tree I had already stamped, colored and cut out. Then I cut out the letters and numbers using a new Cuttlebug die cut set (Hippie Chick) I got from Oh My Crafts. (On clearance for $15, with free shipping! The free shipping special is done now, though, I believe.) I embossed the Kraft cardstock with a Cuttlebug folder. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Birthday Basics. I did the scoring with my Scor-Pal, including the decorative scoring on the "DAD" layer. The tree is mounted on Pop Dots.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
Very nice card. Tell your dad happy birthday from his Harem!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new designer position Lynette. I have tried twice to leave you a congrats at your announcement but it will not go. Anyway, your cards are alaways beautiful so it does not surprise me that your being asked to join design teams. :)
