Father’s Day Polo Shirt Easel Card

Hello! I’m back from the MN Homeland where I helped put on a bridal shower for my niece. This photo is my mom, my sisters and myself. The shower was lovely and it was great to see family again. We haven’t seen them since last October.

I apologize for not getting any posts ready for you while I was gone. I hope you didn’t miss me too much! Ha! This week will be a little mixed up because I just had to share this Fun Fold with you today so that you could maybe duplicate this week for Father’s Day.

Polo Shirt Easel Card

We’re always looking for masculine cards, right? Today you hit the jackpot. This fun card can be used for any occasion. I originally saw it online and knew I had to try making it myself. The card I saw was actually larger so I had to adjust the measurement so that the card would fit into Stampin’ Up!’s regular size envelope.

The card isn’t too difficult to make and you can add a pocket on the back for a gift card! That’s what I’ll be doing for my dad’s Father’s Day card.

To see exactly how I made this card please view the video below.

If you like written instructions I’ve got you covered you can view the pdf with step by step instructions and photos here.

I hope you liked the video. My videos are a little rough but I think I’ve covered everything. If you like this project please leave a comment below. If you liked the video I’d appreciate it if you could head on over to my YouTube channel and subscribe. Thanks!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Take Me Out to the Ballgame!

046It’s baseball season so what makes a better masculine card than a baseball?  Yes, I CASEd this card….but it’s so darn cute!  I love how the Chevron Punch makes the stitching on the baseball….very clever.  How do people think up all of these wonderful ideas?

I used a dinner sized paper plate to make the curve up the baseball.  Then it was just a matter of punching enough chevrons with the Chevron Punch to make my stitching.  TSC!  Too Stinkin’ Cute!

The sentiment is from Perfect Pennants in the Occasions Catalog.  For some reason I like to pop up that “a” in another color whenever I use this stamp.  It just seems to add so much to the card.  The star is from Simply Stars.  This is one of the many stamp sets on the retired list that is already sold out. 🙁  Don’t fret if you like stars though….you may see some in the new catalog….just sayin’!  🙂

My mom is a huge baseball fan so I altered this card a bit into a Mother’s Day card for her.  Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of it before I packaged up her gift.  Maybe I’ll have her take a picture of it when she gets it so I can share.  I need to get the gift in the mail today so it gets to the Minnesota Homeland before Mother’s Day!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
