Bench Fold Father's Day Card

My VIP Video tutorial shows how to make a

BENCH CARD

Another first for me, but I do like to challenge my brain at least once a week!!

Basically it is really a bridge fold card with an added bench!

Great fun to make and decorate though 😀

And the good thing is, it all folds flat for posting.

I think it is an ideal shape for a manly card

and if you have lots of little die cuts to embellish it,

it really comes to life.

I made a mini ruler, a faux note book and a paper pencil.

All other embellishments are from the Geared Up Garage bundle.

Scrapbook Thursday

My page today is for Grandson Finbar's April page.

His Mum was giving him his very first haircut

and my son snapped these photos for me to use.

You can see he thought it was great getting some treats

but the novelty of that soon wore off when he realised

what was happening!!

Small milestones are being met during this strange time

and hopefully we will all be able to look back

at our memories and smile.

I have followed this sketch from

Sketches in Thyme

I used a few old stamp sets for the scissors and comb

and A Good Man stamp set for the hearts.

The letter dies are from my die stash.
