Tool-Themed Father’s Day Cards

This first card (to the right) is from Lori Whitlock. You can find it in the Silhouette Studio. It was only $0.99. You could save even more if you buy one of our discounted download cards! I made this card using the Silhouette CAMEO. The card is 5″ wide by approximately 4″ tall. It has little pockets on the inside that are perfect for holding a gift card to Dad’s favorite store – or you could even make little coupons to put inside.

We’ve made an infographic to explain the process so you know how to foil your vinyl material. I also offer my own handiwork below the infographic, so you can see how it works in action. Without further ado:

Sizzix Flip-its Card Project – Framelits Dies

by Richelle Naegle

Believe it or not, this is my first Flip-its card. I can’t believe I waited so long. As far as I can tell, Sizzix is on top of the craft world right now. For this project, I chose the Scalloped Circle Flip-its card. We don’t currently have it in stock, but we do have the Circle Flip-its Card Framelits set, which is very similar. You really can’t go wrong with any Sizzix Framelits die sets. We also have other brands for card-making dies.

I love Stephanie Barnard’s designs. Her cards are extraordinary. She has new 3-D drop-ins and step-up cards, which are my absolute favorite, though they take some time to make. I don’t have much extra time to craft, and I need something I can do quickly, so a Sizzix Flip-its project was a great choice.
