Whiskey Business Father's Day Card

I've really enjoyed playing with the Whiskey Business stamp set there is so much you can do with it but today I am just using it straight up for a fun Father's Day card.

 Supplies

1 - 8 1/2"x 11" sheet of Basic Black cardstock

1 - 5 3/8"x 4 1/8" piece of Basic Black cardstock

1 - 5 1/4"x 4" piece of DSP

Scrap Basic White cardstock

Whiskey Business stamp set

Memento Black ink

 Tailored Tag punch

Instructions

Take the 8 1/2"x11" sheet of cardstock cut it down to 8 1/2"x5 1/2" and score that at 4 1/4" on the long side.

I started by taking the piece of DSP and cutting in half at 2". I then took one of the 2" strips and cut it at 2" again. so you should have a 5 1/4"x2" piece, a 2" square and a 3 1/4"x2" piece. I find that this technique works best if you use a wood grain or brick pattern paper. But you can also use multiple pieces of DSP and mix and match them for a fun background.

I wanted didn't want the pieces all going the same way, so I started by laying them out the so that they fit together the way they would have looked before I cut them. I then took the 2" square and rotated it 90°. I then took the 3 1/4"x 2" piece and rotated it 180°. I then adhered them to the piece of Basic Black cardstock, I did not leave any space in between the DSP pieces but there should be a 1/16" border all the way around.

I then stamped on decanter and one whiskey glass in Meemento Black on Basic White cardstock and then fussy cut the images.

I wanted the card to have a big bold Father's Day sentiment so I typed it out and printed it out. I have a blog post explaining how I do this here. I just used the Tailored Tag punch to cut the banner edge but if you have a banner punch you can use that or just cut it by hand.

I adhered the images and the sentiment to the DSP layer. I wanted to add some dimension so I used Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the panel to the front of the card.

Let me know what you think of this card in the comments below.

Happy Paper Crafting!
