FOR FATHER’S DAY GIVE DAD A TROPHY; A TROPHY CARD, THAT IS!

Hi Stampers!

Father’s Day is coming up, and this year I made trophy cards for the dads in my life. Trophy cards (stand alone pop up cards, pedestal card, etc) are easy to make, go together in no time, and are sure to please. Plus they fit perfectly inside the Stampin’ Up!®️ Medium Envelopes (A-2 size). Let’s look at some of the trophy cards I created (yes, one is a birthday card).

HOW TO MAKE AN IMPRESSIVE TROPHY CARD - IT’S EASY

SUPPLIES FOR TROPHY CARD

* Card base - cardstock cut at 4 1/4” x 10” score at 1 1/4”, 2 1/2”, 3 3/4”, 5”, 6 1/4”, 7 1/2” & 8 3/4”.  Place card base on paper trimmer with 10” side along top. At the 5” score line cut a slit from 5/8” to 3 5/8”.
