Card Club - May - Nautical Father's Day

I trimmed the cards to 3.75 x 5.00 inches.  I chose a blue card which coordinated with one of the colors in the decorative card stock.  I color printed the greetings in navy on white and punched them out with the Stampin Up Decorative Label punch. I then punched another label from navy card stock.  It was cut in half cross wise.  I trimmed the points from the center cut then adhered the navy halves to the back of the greeting offsetting them on the right and left hand sides.  This greeting accent is adhered to the card front with 3D foam tape aligned on the line of chain on the decorative layer.

The alternative is to cut your label lengthwise and offsetting them top and bottom instead.

I could have placed my label horizontally  across the navy stripes and make the orientation landscape wide instead of portrait tall.

Card Club - Feb - Star

The Olympics affected attendance at Card Club this month. We were few in numbers but I was home in time to see Canada win the gold medal in Ice Dance and the presentation of medals.

This card a bit of a nautical feel. I glued the insert into the card first then wrapped the ribbon around the fold and tied the knot and trimmed the ends. The star is a Sizzix die cut from textured card stock. Glued it to a square of great striped paper. The tag is color printed. Added a cotton thread hanger to the tag and wrapped on the ribbon.
