Father's Day Bottle 'All Tooled Up' Card

Hi! With Father's Day imminent on Sunday, here is a card I have designed to wrap around a bottle of wine - specifically designed for my hubby using the docrafts Creativity Club 'All Tooled Up' printables which I designed last month.


The concept is simple - create a wrap, then decorate it! For this card, I have made an opening card, secured with a large washer and craft string, which hides the sentiment...

 

I am going to get Beth and Evie to write their messages on the inside of the 'doors' (I thought it best to photograph the card first in case it gets covered in felt pen drawings!).


I made a simple ring of paper (mounted onto card), to sit around the bottle neck and 
added a Father's Day sentiment to finish.


I hope this has given you some ideas! 

Thank you for looking

Happy Father's Day Booklet Card

I have had this idea in my head for a while and finally got a chance to have a play 
(just in time for father's Day!).

 The card has been created using the collection of papers I designed for the docrafts Creativity Club called 'All Tooled Up Father's Day Printables', which can be downloaded by Club members for free!

The card is created using three different length pages and bound together using Papermania Brown String. I mounted all the cut out elements onto card first to give the booklet strength and stuck them on using Stick it! 3D Adhesive Foam Pads for dimension. 


The following shots show each page from front to back (excuse the quality of the photography, I was taking these late last night on my ipad and my lighting is shocking at home!)
 



I have uploaded this project into my docrafts gallery with more detailed step by steps so 
pop on over if you fancy reading more.

I want to try and make a card for my hubby by the weekend using my bottle holder 
card idea so watch this space!

Thank you for looking
