Father's Day Card...

 Good Morning,

Not a very good morning here in Lancashire weather wise, but a good day to be inside crafting. I have designed a Father's day card using a Kraft 6"x 6" card.

 Close up:- 

 

Fold the front of the card back on itself. Die-cut a stitched edge square in patterned paper 13.5cm, and attach to the front fold approx 6cm onto the fold. Die-cut a tag in Kraft card 13.5cm x 4cm and a tag in the patterned paper 13cm x 3cm. Stick together. Make two holes at the beginning of the tag on the small side and tie string in a bow as in the picture. Attach the tags to the centre of the card. Die-cut two stars, one in Kraft card and one in the patterned paper and add to the centre of the main card. Stick a matching button threaded with string to the centre of the star. Cut a piece of cream card 14.5cm square and attach to the inside of the card. Now add a stitched die-cut Kraft card 10cm square onto the cream card. Add a small patterned star to the top corner inside the card as in the picture. Cut three 3cm squares, one in cream card, one in Kraft card and one in the patterned paper. Cut them diagonally so that you have six triangles. Attach the two patterned onto the cream card and add to the outside of the card as in picture, letting the cream card show at the edges. Add a running stitch on the Kraft card triangles with a fine liner pen. Add the remaining two patterned triangles to the inside back of the card. Add a greeting to the card.
