Next Sunday, June 17, is Father’s Day! Yikes, as usual, I’m not ready, but I’m getting started with a Father’s Day card for the Love-Of-My-Life using a design from Card Sketches for Paper Crafters, and I thought I'd share it as a free project for you.But first, check out the description of Card Sketches:“Card sketches can be your secret weapon! Not only are they time-saving and handy for using scraps, but they are also perfect for breaking up a creative roadblock when you don't know where to begin. Whether you're new to sketches or just looking for a new batch, this must-have book from the editors of Paper Crafts magazine is full of inspiration—gathering over 145 sketches and more than 500 projects. You'll see how versatile sketches are, too, because each sketch is used in at least three designs. Sometimes the sketch is used as it appears and other times it's rotated, flipped, inverted, or cropped. The possibilities are endless. From fun birthday cards to holiday gift card holders, this book will become your go-to resource for paper crafting.”
Are you inspired yet? Hope you enjoy this little free project tutorial! I’m making the Dad Plaid Card by designer Kim Hughes, and this is the sketch I started out with!
Dad Plaid CardHere’s how I made it:(Ink all edges as you assemble card.)
1. Make card from cardstock.
2. Trim patterned paper and cardstock strips; adhere. Adhere border and zig-zag seam.
3. Trim burlap and adhere. Stitch with floss.
4. Cut star from patterned paper and adhere. Thread buttons with twine and adhere.
5. Spell “Dad” with stickers.Finished size: 4-3/4" x 4".
From that one simple sketch, Card Sketches offers up three more designs—the To You From Me Box, Beautiful Day Card, and Thanks a Bunch Birdie Card.Pretty cool, huh? Essentially four designs from one free project!
Try this little free project out for Father’s Day, and when you love it, as I’m sure you will, get your own copy of Card Sketches for Paper Crafters, so you’ll be forever inspired.
