Metallic finishes and shiny glitter isn’t only for moms! Check out this Father’s Day card that shimmers with love while still being masculine!
Today’s project is from our designer Lisa, who is creating a shiny and shimmering card for Dad. Lisa said, “I love the 36037 Fathers Day 4×6 Stamp Set with all of it’s great sentiments for Dad for lots of occasions and not just Father’s Day! There are both funny and sweet sentiments… a great addition to my sentiment sets and one that I’ll use over and over.” We adore this sentiment set and love how she used it on this awesome card. Follow along to see how Lisa created this design and recreate one in your own craft room.
- I started by cutting a base from the 2019 Watercolor Beauty 6×6 Paper Pad By Melinda Stearns using the 5013d Nested Rectangle Small Stitch Die Set.
- Then I stamped the sentiment in two colors. The Dad, stamp is separate and I stamped it onto white cardstock with Dreamer Ink from the Color Fuse Set #9 and then the second part of the sentiment with Pumpkin from the Color Fuse Set #2. The sentiment was cut out using one of the smaller rectangles from the Small Stitch set leaving space at the bottom for a heart cut from orange glitter paper using a die from the 5700-02d Stacked Hearts Die set.
- Next I cut a heart from blue metallic paper using a die from the 5729d Nested Star Die set.
- Candles were cut using the 5804-04d Candles With Layers Die set, alternating the candle layers with the metallic the star was cut from and the orange glitter the heart was cut from. The wick was cut from white and the flames from a shimmery yellow. Liquid adhesive was used to put them together. Foam tape was added to the backs.
- Finally all of the pieces were popped up onto the background … many times I wait until the end to add anything to a card so that I can move all of my pieces around until I’m happy with the layout. A few sequins in a similar blue color were added and done!
We are all about the shimmer and the shine and think Dad will love the look of it too. Be sure to follow us on Instagram and share your cards if you happen to recreate this masterpiece.
