Hi friends! Happy Fri-YAY! I hope you’re having a great week! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Ally’s Angels and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #68! Our challenges are always ‘anything goes’ and we’d love for you to come over and play with us! I created a Father’s Day card with an acetate panel on the front flap showing a majestic lake scene. What guy wouldn’t love this?!

I cut a standard A2 size landscape top-folding card base from CutCardStock Basis 110# White cardstock. I cut an oval aperture in the front flap with a Memory Box Stitched Oval Layers die and adhered a piece of acetate behind it. Using Catherine Pooler Rockin’ Red and Black Jack inks along with the Stampin’ Up Let’s Set Sail stamp set and Sailboat Builder Punch, I created the sailboat and adhered it to the acetate on the front flap. Using the Hero Arts Year Round Messages stamp set, I stamped the sentiment in black ink in the lower right corner. The final touch was adding two Stampin’ Up Star Designer Elements to the lower left corner.

I reserved the stitched oval die cut from the front flap to use on the inside of the card. Using the Stampin’ Up Let’s Set Sail stamp set, I stamped the water in Catherine Pooler Stone Blue and Tranquil inks, sailboat shadow in Twilight ink, and birds in Jack Black ink, which completed the card.
