I’m sure I’m not the only one who would say this, but my dad is not an easy person to shop for. I don’t think he ever has been. And whenever I ask him what he wants he never really has an answer. So for Father’s Day I decided to make a special card for him; a Display Frame card. Another demonstrator posted their version of this card and I thought it would be really fun! I checked out Jennifer McGuire’s YouTube video for the step by steps and as with most fancy folds it’s easier than it looks.
For this card I used a little bit of current and retired products. My dad has always been a BIG golf fan and so I started off my design with the retired Country Club Designer Series Paper. And I pulled my colour combination from there. I used Night of Navy for the card base and some Crushed Curry for a bit of extra pop.
To create the opening for the frame I used the largest circle from the retired Stitched Shapes dies. The Layering Circles dies would work well too, but mine had gone into hiding. I used the Playful Alphabet dies to create “Dad” out of Crushed Curry cardstock. And I popped it up using a piece of Window Sheet and a couple of small boxes adhered on the inside of the frame at the back.
The phrases on the front and inside of the card came from the “A Good Man” stamp set. This is a great set for masculine themed cards and so I’ve been using it a lot lately. Here’s the inside of the card…
This Display Frame card turned out really nicely and was super easy to make! If you want to start trying some fancy folds yourself, this would be a good one to start out with. You can also check out my card for a recent Fancy Folds Design Team blog hop here.
