Weekend Warrior by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a card that I made for my friend's husband. At school our custodians designed some wood storage units to store and charge the kids iPads.  I happened to look at them and grabbed a ruler one day.  They were the perfect size to store cardstock.  I mentioned to one of the teachers how I wish the custodians would make me one, lol!  Next thing I knew she had her very handy husband whip one up for me!!  How lucky am I??  I made this card to thank him for being so thoughtful!

I used the 4378–Weekend Warrior Set  from Art Impressions.

I made a second one to have on hand just in case.

I found this adorable tape measure paper that was just perfect for this. 

Here's the inside of Luke's card.

Here's the storage unit he made me.  Isn't it beautiful!!

These make the perfect thank you for a man who's done you a favor.

Here's the inside of my spare card.

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a masculine card that I made.  Anyone who knows me AT ALL knows that I love to make cards for guys!  This handy man is called Weekend Warrior (Sku#4378).

I love to use metal on guy cards.

I used some alphabet brads to spell out dad.

Since the inside needed to be flat I used some tool dies that I had.  It was the first time that I used them and I love how they turned out.  Don't laugh...I used the inside safety seal to a jar of nuts to make the tools.  It was a sturdy silver material so I saved it and cut them out of it.  Recycle, Reuse, Reduce! Right?
