Plaid Vintage Leaves Father’s Day Card

This is a great easy card that is a great guy card. I made this card for my dad for Father’s Day, but it would also be a good card for anything.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

Cajan Craze card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Natural Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Timeless Plaid DSP designer series paper
Vintage Leaves dies (Retired Stampin Up)
The Wilderness Awaits (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Going Global (Retired Stampin’ Up)
Cajan Craze ink (Stampin’ Up)
Baker’s Twine (Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

With your Cajan Craze card stock cut a piece to 5 ½” x 8 ½”, folded in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Cut another piece to 3 ¾” x 5”. Take the Cajan Craze colored plaid paper from the Timeless Plaid designer series paper pack, cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”, use the strip you cut off the bottom of that and cut a piece to ¾” x 3 ¾”. With your Natural Beige card stock cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 5” for your card inside.

From your Vintage Leaves dies, take the oak leaf die and cut a leave out of the remaining Timeless Plaid designer series paper and then take the 3 ¾” x 5” piece of Cajan Craze your cut and use the leaf die to cut out a leave to the left hand side.

Adhere the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Timeless Plaid designer series paper and adhere it to the front of your card. Then adhere your piece of Cajan Craze with the leaf cut out to the front of the plaid. Use pop dots to adhere the plaid leaf to the right of the cut-out leaf. Take a small scrap piece of Natural Beige card stock and the “You mean the world to me” stamp from the Going Global stamp set and stamp with the Cajan Craze. I just cut the tag out by hand by making the top pointed and then just angled each bottom corner, but of course you could use a tag die to cut this out. Tie a bow with the Baker’s Twine and adhere to the top of your tag.

For the inside of the card I actually ended up using two different stamps to say what I wanted, the “admired, respected, loved…that’s you” from The Wilderness Awaits” stamp set and then a “Happy Father’s Day” which is a single wood block stamp that I am not sure where it is from. Stamp these stamps in Cajan Craze and adhere the plaid strip to the bottom and adhere to the inside of your card.

I think any guy would love to get this card.
