Manly Monday Graduation paper clip Card





The patterned paper is by Karen foster and gold cardstock is by Sizzix. The embossing folder is by Darice. So what I did with this card was run the  I put both the patterned paper and white cardstock into the embossing folder and tan it thru my cuttlebug they would. This way I wouldn’t have to try and line them up together. The white gel pen by Sakura.the golden paper clip is unknown. 

I don’t like top folding cards. I’ve handed out a lot of Christmas cards to the elderly and when they were given a card they would try to open it as a side folded card.

The other thing that I dislike with top folding cards is they don’t seem to stand upright, no matter what the thickness is of the cardstock. When you try to display them I find they do the splits. 

So I put the paper clip in that spot so that they had to take it off and then they would lift it up. I made this card for the Craft Roulettee show on Friday nights. 

The parameters were:

Project: A window, mine is the frame. 

Colors: Bird colors, red, yellow, blue in the patterned paper.

Element: On the pond,the ripples around the word water ripples.

Random:Paper clip

Thanks for looking.

UPDATE:

I changed it.
