Father’s Day Inspiration Week- Day 2

Hey everyone, Elaine on the Pretty Pink Posh blog today sharing a fun masculine card using the new Tool Background Die. This die makes creating cards easy and it’s perfect for Father’s Day!

To start I cut a piece of dark grey card stock with a slight woodgrain texture to just larger than 5.5” x 4.25” and then ran that through my die cutting machine with the Tool Background die.  I popped out all the negative pieces and secured the positive piece to a panel of black cardstock measuring 5.5” x 4.25” and secured to a top folding landscape A2 sized card base.

Next comes the fun part!  This card is great way to use up scraps of cardstock in your stash and gluing it all together like a puzzle.  I used some more woodgrain textured cardstock in brown and dark brown for the ruler and handle of the hammer, some mirror cardstock for the top of the hammer and nails, and black cardstock for the banner, letters, and handle of the screwdriver.  For the spanner I used some smooth dark grey cardstock and added a few white highlights with a gel pen.  Such a super quick and simple card but one that really makes an impact!

I hope you enjoyed this quick and fun card tutorial and I look forward to seeing what everyone else creates with this fun background die.
