Seth had an Army Party for his 5th birthday this year and I got some great photos of him and his friends dressed up in Army uniforms and camouflage. For his thank you cards, I wanted to give each boy’s family a copy of the photos on CD, so I needed a holder. Now I’ve done cardstock CD holders before (see HERE for a tutorial), but in this case, I wanted it to be a combined card & CD holder. Thus, I came up with this design….I’ll call it the Pocket Card CD-Holder. Check back tomorrow for a tutorial for making the holder.
I tried to use mainly Army colors….browns & greens. Since I didn’t have any military stamps, I used stars as my theme. To give it a grungy look, I used the direct-to-paper technique to distress my Old Olive cardstock. Simply lay your cardstock on a flat surface with scrap paper underneath….then press your open ink pad onto the cardstock, varying the angle of the ink pad until you get the look you want.
The yellow cardstock strip was distressed by rubbing the edge of my ink pad on the edges and front of the strip.
Stamp sets: fundamental phrases, classic stars wheel; Inks: old olive, chocolate chip, versamark; Cardstock: chocolate chip, old olive, so saffron, sweet pea designer paper stack; Tools: star punch, large star punch, sticky strip
