For Men

Today I have a couple of cards I made for men.  There are two because I needed a Father's Day card for my brother & thought that's what this first one would be - but changed my mind so had to make another. 😀  Both cards were made using HD Little Book pages - the first from the Little Book of Memorable Moments, and the second from the Little Book of Perfect Planet.

This first is an A2 sized card.  I basically cut the bottom third off the bottom and replaced it with the dotted paper (scraps from a previous card), trimming to ensure a narrow white border all around.  I taped the dotted paper to the little book piece and then added the ribbon - tacking the ends behind - before tying a loose knot, trimming the ends, and adding to the card front with an adhesive dot.  The sentiment is from the HD little book of essential sentiments.

Inside:

The remainder of the little book page (trimmed to leave a narrow border) completes the inside of the card.

Card #2:

This time I used dies from Spellbinders' Modern Stationery die set to cut the little book page - and to cut a gold frame for it.  Using a paper punch, I punched 3 pieces from gold scraps to put at the upper left, and added a sentiment (from a HD essential sentiments book) with foam tape.

Inside:

Inside, I simply added a strip of gold for a border & added another sentiment (from the same book).
