FIL's Father's Day Card

Hi everyone, here's a card I made for my father-in-law.



It's a 4.25” square card. I used one of the large buttons from my Father’s Day Key Ingredients as a mat to the #1 Dad sentiment. See the “threading” in the small button at the top?....that’s a tiny sliver of the DP. I’ve learned from visiting Jody’s (texasjodylynn) blog that buttons should ALWAYS be threaded with something….and she's absolutely right, buttons do look better when there’s something threaded through the holes.

Here’s a close-up. The sentiment inside the button is up on foam tape, so is the large Buttercream panel on the card base:



Here’s the inside:

  8. Great card Denise!! I LOVE the sentiment inside the button like that!! I have to always add thread to my buttons, the empty holes don't look right to me. Might have to try DP in one sometime.
