Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! Father’s Day is just a few weeks away and I thought I would share with you my You’re Flippin’ Awesome Card using the new He’s The Man Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! This suite is perfect for car lovers, grilling enthusiasts, camping buffs, and more! My Father-in-law loves to BBQ and I though this suite would make a perfect Father’s Day card for him!
The Details of My Card
This card is a fast and easy card to make! No stamping involved on the front, but I did stamp the inside with “Wishing You a Happy Father’s Day” using the He’s All That Stamp Set that comes in the Collection.
The He’s The Man Designer Series Paper comes with 2 die cut sheets and I used one of the die cuts for my sentiment. Easy-peasy! To give it more of a focal point, I added a piece of DSP and die cut it out using the He’s All That Dies. I turned it so that it flanks the sentiment on either side. I love the “framed” look that the die gives the die cut piece. Gave it that little extra detail!
The Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots were a perfect accompaniment to my manly card! I placed one on either side of the sentiment and one above it to the left. Tip: you always want odd numbers since they are pleasing to the eye.
The final thing I added to my focal point was some looped Linen Thread behind everything. How manly is that thread!
For the DSP, I made it smaller than usual since I wanted the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder to show up more. I went with a Cajun Craze bricked piece since it matched my DSP and what is more appropriate than orange bricks!
All this was place on a Sahara Sand card base.
