Spots and Stripes

Hey! It's holiday time! Hopefully this will mean more crafting time for me and I started well by making a few cards for the up and coming challenges at The Male Room so that I can schedule them while I'm on holiday and not miss a week!
I started with this one

I just love this one! So easy to crate masculine projects using spots and stripes. I changed my mind several times before going with ties...


I chose a stripy DP and covered the card base before cutting the aperture. Then I stamped the ties from Best Dad Ever in Calypso Coral, Mossy Meadow and a berry red and cut them out. I positioned them in the aperture, centrally, the middle one is popped up on foam pads. Using the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig I could position the greeting.


When the card is opened the ties are inside.

  1. Louise, I love, love this card. I think the diecut front revealing the ties inside is just fab. Love the little tiepin on the middle tie. xxx

    I have to tell you that I woke up yesterday with plans to use my ties set and then saw your fab card - so had a rethink! Great minds and all that.

  4. Such a great take on the spots and stripes theme, I'm sure all men have them in their wardrobe! Love the little surprise of the frame opening up like a door.
