Bench Fold Father's Day Card

Top 5 Badge


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


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.
