Hello dear readers, these are the 2nd and 3rd copy of my Father's day card. Surprisingly on one fine night, two people messaged me on my Facebook page and liked this particular style of card.
Since, I had run out of navy blue cardstock I offered them black and silver/golden combination. They happily agreed to it. The first customer wanted it for her father's birthday so it was kept the same, only the color change. However, the second one was to be customized to be a general birthday card! With a customized message outside and inside. I blurred out the name for customer's privacy!
The envelopes were exact copy of the card's that I took as reference.
If you haven't seen my Father's day card post, now would be a really good time! For that card I painstakingly stacked a lot of alphabet die cuts, each alphabet contained about 2 layers plus the third in gold in that. For this I completely forgot that and increased the layer in black to 3! so many alphabets, 3 fold die cuts. Now you might be wondering - why didn't I use foam tape?
If I used foam tape or foam ( I only had white) it'd show from the sides, and wouldn't have had that embossed look right? BUT IT WAS TAKING SO LONG! I made the silver one on Facebook live (my first live, so I prepared the die cuts ahead of time), the live lasted two hours!!!!! In the silver card, I used vellum for the first time ever!
For the inside of the card the first one was kept the same as per request, and the second one was changed to display the message. I printed it out on vellum and attached it to the inside of the card, matted onto black. To hide the glue anchor points, I used black sequins like I usually use stones!
The back for both the cards were kept the same - embossed strip of mirror cardstock in respective colors! I didn't add the logo because it didn't go with the masculinity of the card, instead I added it separately in the package.
Let me know in the comments - out of the three versions of this card, which one do you like the best?
Thank you so much for stopping by, have a great day!
Love,
Foo💜
