I have to say, this is the first time I’ve used paper clips on a card. But TGIF’s challenge this week was to use paper clips, so I was game. It turns out, my husband really likes this card, so this is his Father’s Day card. The sentiment is perfect, don’t you think?

Paper Clipped Flowers

I happened to find some large, colored, paper clips that I would be able to clip onto the Hues Of Happiness Flowers. After using the Blossoming Happiness Die to cut three flowers, I clipped the flowers to a coordinating piece of Hues Of Happiness Designer Paper, 4″ X 51/4″.

Before attaching the designer paper to my card base, I cut 1″ from the bottom, and set aside for the sentiment. Next, I used Dimensionals to attach the clipped flowers portion, and glued the remaining DSP to the card base. The card base is Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Because the card was making me laugh, I searched for a sentiment that would fit the occasion, and found it in the Forever Fern Stamp Set. I stamped “love & laughter forever after,” in Memento Black Ink on the designer paper, and attached it with strips of Dimensionals (the left-over border).

To add a bit more color, I used two Blossoming Happiness Dies to cut green leaves from the designer paper, and glued them in place.
