Happy Saturday.
Hope your weekend is going well.
This card is for our favorite (and only) son-in-love as his birthday is next week. He loves golfing and has been pretty passionate about it as his main hobby ever since Covid Lockdown, so I thought a golf-themed card would do. And I threw in gnomes just for the heck of it, lol.
I chose this Splitcoaststampers sketch for my layout design but I opted instead to cut my papers diagonally edge to edge instead of how the sketch has the line. I wanted to use the leftover diagonal cuts on the back of the card in the same manner. And then I got really selfish and changed the direction of the diagonal line because I thought it went better with the focal that way. Poor old sketch, so abused, hope you can still see that it at least inspired me!
😁
So, anyway, the white A7 card base is side-opening, which required me to use legal card stock and hand-cut since my trimmer is only 12" long. The designer papers throughout are Polkadoodles digitals from their Gnome Men Golf Printables Pack . In PSE I sized and framed each paper to print on white card stock. I added a black stitched ribbon to the diagonal line after mounting the papers. The focal image was created by me in PSE, using Polkadoodles Golf Cart Gnome for Men Color Printables and The Paper Shelter Enjoy the Summer colored digital image . After arranging the digital elements to my liking, I added the sentiment with the Text Tool and framed it as well before printing out and topping the card.
Inside the card is more of the Polkadoodles papers, framed in PSE. On the left, I added the Score Card image and then made a pocket for the gift card and receipt. At right, sentiment created by me in PSE.
The back has the other halves of the diagonally cut paper on the front and my stamped and punched siggie.
Last look.Thanks for the visit and have a great day!
