Elegant Father's Day Card

I'm back with another video tutorial, sharing the elegant Father's Day card I made for my Dad. With just over a week to go until the day itself, I thought it would be nice to share some inspiration for a card, using some techniques that seem to have gone out of fashion slightly. To clarify, when I say the machine isn't meant for cutting thick card stock, I actually mean the die; it's a wafer thin steel die and so not really designed for the thickest card stock. I was really happy with the finished effect to this card and liked leaving it clean and elegant. Apologies for the state of my voice in the video, though, I have a bit of a cold at the moment!
