Make It Monday #115: Beyond Paper with Impression Plates

You would never believe me if I told you I jumped for joy when I saw this week's MIM .
I have a recycle/reuse/re-purpose drawer that is bulging at the seams. When I saw that I could get rid of a few things I was ecstatic to say the least!

 For my first venture "out of the box" I decided to use a piece of packaging I saved from a wallet my
hubby got for Christmas. It was the perfect size and already had the stitching done for me, hurray!

Here's the Father's Day card I made:


I embossed the leatherish piece with a Tim Holtz Texture Fade Folder. Die cut a Mat Stack 3 out of kraft CS. Stamped a tree from Father Knows Best as well as the sentiment with Classic Kraft ink. Colored the leaves with various markers and used a heart punch for the "apples" which I had to make shiny with glossy accents. Tied a little twine around the Mat Stack and adhered it with some foam tape. I also adhered the leather piece with foam tape onto a piece of Rustic Cream CS. Pretty simple I guess.

Hopefully I'll be back with some sort of remnant from something else, after all, I can't throw anything away!!    Thanks for looking!

Someone Special

My Dad had a birthday last week and this was the card I made him. I wanted him to know how he has impacted my life and made me who I am today. I love him so much for all he has done for his family.

Father Knows Best from Papertrey Ink was the perfect set to use. I stamped all different quotes for the background, very random. I then used a sizzix die cut for the sentiment "for you" (PTI wonderful words additions) and the letter stickers are from Echo Park.  Hope you all have a great day!
