PAR-fect Golfer's Birthday

 Hello there, hope everything is a-o-k with you and yours. The son-in-love&law celebrated his birthday last week and of course I made a card. He took up golf last year when the pandemic hit, I think primarily as a way to stay active at a safe distance. Honey gave him some clubs and he's kept it up, mainly due to like-minded buddies he can play with. So, I decided to make him a golf-themed card, sent with some golf balls and a gift card. 

I had used this ITDS Golf digi stamp set back in April for Honey's birthday card and it was a big hit, so I went with it once more, and again chose to print out and fussy-cut the pre-colored version, so I did not do any coloring myself!!!

   

I followed Splitcoaststampers Sketch SC299 for my layout, resizing to 5x7" in PSE.

I cut a card base of DCWV brown textured card stock and then pulled patterned papers from DCWV's Summer and Vintage Stacks. Both these sets have solid papers that go with patterned papers, allowing me to use the solid papers as mats. The sentiment phrase, from the digi set, is printed on Springhill Digital card and layered on a scrap of SU light blue card, just to mix it up, as the pre-colored image has different shades of blue, as done the argyle paper.

   

For the inside, I printed out 2 of the sentiment phrases that come with the digi set on SU blue card stock, which barely got through my printer without jamming, phew! Only thing I do not like about my new printer, wish it had a flat feed-through for thicker papers. I think the only reason this went through was because I had cut it down first to 4x6. At any rate, the back has the same blue paper and argyle paper as the front, but this time the argyle is sideways. A scrap from cutting the DCWV card base and a stamped and circle-punched Technique Tuesday siggie on blue card finishes it off.

And a final view of the front and back. Thanks for visiting and until next time, Stay Well and Craft On! xoxo
