Nothing like making a card at the last minute, but if you are too, I offer you this idea for a New Horizons Father’s Day Card! Father’s Day is Sunday, June 19 so better get busy if you haven’t made a Father’s Day card yet! This one will be for my husband. It also was a good opportunity to use this New Horizons Bundle before it retires on June 30 and the New Horizons Designer Series Paper (retired).
The card base is Garden Green cardstock. I used one of the prettiest pieces of the New Horizons Designer Paper as the layer, if you still have some from the Spring Mini Catalog. I die cut two pieces of fence from the Horizon Dies. I absolutely love these little fences! I cut them from Crumb Cake cardstock and then I shaded them a bit with the Light and Dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends markers. It just gave them a little aging and I just did it very sloppily, not trying to achieve perfection at all. I just kind of scribbled along the edges of the fence posts. Try it!
The “sign” for the greeting is actually a die cut piece of the wood sheets we had not long ago. I shaded it a tiny bit with the same Blends around the edges and made a few lines across to look like wood grain using the fine tip of the marker.
The greeting is stamped two different ways! I stamped the word “Relax” and then cut around it with Paper Snips. The second part is stamped by inking up only that second line of words with the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. Then I die cut with a narrow die in the Sending Dies. On the back of the wood sheet piece I just kind of twirled around some Linen Thread and then popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Be sure to keep your eye on the Last Chance Products these last couple of weeks. Some are on sale and some are not so do the math before you buy a Bundle which might be more expensive than buying the pieces separately if they are discounted. This New Horizons Bundle is not discounted individually so you are better off buying the Bundle which is 10% less than the individual prices. Also remember to check out the Clearance Rack and see if you need any of those bargains!
If you haven’t made a Father’s Day card for your dad, your husband, your grandfather…it’s time to do it today! Maybe this New Horizons Father’s Day Card will get you inspired!
