OLW-Fathers Day

Fantastic Friday everyone ,

...... yes fathers day is just around the corner and this week over on Susan's blog at OLW we are making cards for the men in our life . It can be a traditional Fathers day or for any male figure in your life who's in need of some recognition :)


I've used the tie from a Woodware set of stamps and cut one of them out so as to reveal the coloured paper insert underneath. The sentiment is another Woodware set called Retro words , love these , they get used a lot :)

I made the card blank myself as I do prefer landscape cards and get tired of the square or A6 size so I bought some thick (290gsm) A3 card to make these , I can get two DL and one slightly slimmer from one sheet :)

The ironing got done as did some house work so I felt justified in making this card yesterday evening :)

Thanks for stopping by and saying 'Hi' X

  2. Fab card Jenny :o) Great idea to have the paper showing through like that. I've got a tie stamp and I don't think it's ever been used... must dig it out! Lisa x

  3. Great fathers day card! My husband doesn't wear ties and doesn't even own any! but if he did I would get him the colored stripe one in the center.

  4. Awesome, Jenny! Love how the paper is behind the tie instead of paper pieced on top. (A cool idea to add to my bag of tricks). Gonna have to check out those Woodware stamps. I have a few sets but mostly I have lots of their punches. Have a fabulous weekend!

  13. I like this long card. It was a clever idea to cut out one of the ties so we see the colored paper on the inside. Those little touches make your cards extra special.
