Recently I had the honor of presenting the new Country Club Suite at Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage event in Atlanta. I loved getting and playing with the products before anyone else had even heard of them. The suite is designed around golf, but isn’t limited to that. There is a die in the Golf Club Dies that is for a crest, but I kept seeing a guitar pick. So I decided to make a guitar card. I found the perfect sentiment in the Darling Label Punch Box stamp set, Congratulations, Rock Star!

Here’s what I made:

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:

• Basic Black card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
• Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″
• Basic Black CS layer cut to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″
• Very Vanilla CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside of the card base

Stamped with the Darling Label stamp set:

• sentiment in black Memento ink onto a scrap of Very Vanilla Thick CS

Cut using the Golf Clubs Dies:

• sentiment, and a scrap of DSP, using the crest shaped die

Cut using the Layering Circles Dies:

• center of DSP layer
• center of Basic Black CS layer

Assembled the guitar card:

• burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
• Basic Black CS layer glued onto the back of the DSP layer, lining up the die cut circles
• 6 pieces of Basic Black Baker’s Twine laid across the DSP layer, the ends wrapped around and adhered to the back of using Tear & Tape
• DSP/Basic Black CS layer adhered onto the front of the card base using Black Dimensionals
• adhered the sentiment onto the DSP layer using Mini Black Stampin’ Dimensionals, between the twine
• Very Vanilla CS glued onto the inside of the card base
• DSP die cut glued onto the Very Vanilla CS
