Dad We Love You

Hey everybody, another wish for a happy Friday since this is my second post of the day! I hope you’re having a great week. I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a super cute shirt card for Dad which is my own design. It’s super easy and really packs a punch. You can dress it up or down, and make it masculine, feminine or kid-friendly. I used Misty Blue and Navy Blue from our Lessebo line along with my studio staple Neenah Classic Crest Solar White. Be sure to pop over to the blog and see my tutorial if you’d like to learn how to make this fun card!

I cut the card base from Lessebo Misty Blue cardstock and then cut the pieces for the front, sleeve, collar and placket from a plaid print in the Craft Consortium Tartan paper pad. I totally LOVE plaids for masculine shirt cards! I added Keep It Simple Back To Basics Royal Enamel Dots for the buttons along with a sentiment from the Brutus Monroe Remote King stamp set which I stamped on a Misty Blue cardstock scrap in Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink. I cut it with a Love From Lizi Stitched Label Nested Cutting Die and layered it on a slightly larger label die cut which I cut from Lessebo Navy Blue cardstock.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of the plaid paper used on the front. I stamped another Brutus Monroe sentiment from the Super Sentimental stamp set in the blue ink, and this completed the card.

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We care for 15 feline rescues and just added a Forkie pup to the tribe (Frenchie + Yorkie)! I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty or puppy lovins! ;)

  1. Such a fun shaped card! It’s been a while since I’ve made one of these, but they’re so fun! I’m so in love with that plaid pattern! Perfect for a masculine card of any kind!
