Welcome to Masculine Card Monday here on my blog! Today I’m sharing four birthday cards made for my Mom’s old nursing home. The lovely owl panels are from Hunkydory’s Little Book of Farm Animals (or something like that) that I have had for several years. There are multiples of each print and the package is quite thick so I never feel I’m making a dent in it.
The only down side, is the paper is quite thin and has some shine to it - so adhesive shows on the front. A thin line of wet glue … even my ATC tape shows through to the front. So I only use 'Beacon 3 in 1' glue, which works great but dries up quickly. I think I may have to cut all the panels to fit A2 cards (they are UK sizing) and get them mounted to card fronts while the glue is freshly opened, I can complete the cards at a later date, but I won’t be wasting the glue - which is pricey here in Canada!
Hmmmm - I could also try die cutting A2 sized frames (I have a Lawn Fawn die that would work) and mount the panels underneath the frame. That would allow me to use regular adhesive, and I wouldn’t have to make up dozens at a time. More ideas than time, I’m afraid!
Once the panels were adhered to the folded card base, I stamped the sentiment on a card stock strip and mounted them with foam tape. Below you can see the sentiment stamped inside the cards.
Supplies used:
Little Book of Farm Animals - Hunkydory
Beacon 3 in one glue - no show!
Happy Birthday Sentiments - Pinkfresh Studio's
Well you know I love these 😊
