Julie's Creative Stamping: For Dad! Hats Off Book Binding Card

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! I am always in need of masculine cards. For this card I wanted to do a different look so I created a Book Binding card!

I used the Hats Off Bundle by Stampin Up for this card! This stamp set has several sentiments that can be added to the label on the hat so it is very versatile set!

This card shows how well using different card stock for matting really helps the overall look of the card.

Below you will find all the card cuts, instructions and supply list!
