More 5.2.09 Sample Display cards

For the golfer Dad - golf card made from And Many Mower set. Made a mistake on that one -- the inner piece with the flag pole needs to be same size or smaller than the piece with the golfer on it -- I had to go back and add more Summer Sun to make that piece big enough so would cover.

Shirt and vest card. Making the tie with the grosgrain ribbon was a challenge! It is done on a piece of string because ribbon too thick to go around (doesn’t fit under the cardstock collar like real tie fits under real collar.) Had to get Earl to show me several times. Finally I had to put his tie around my neck and tie it and then tie the ribbon.

This shirt and vest also turned out a little differently at the top collar part than the one I was CASING. So -- I put it on a larger size card base -- I've finally made the step to using a card base larger than an A2 size.

When I first saw the original card of this shirt and vest, I thought the tag punch (small one) would be too large for the pockets - but it's not! Also the original card I was looking at had stamped the shirt part with the linen background and the vest part with I think canvas background - which really dresses up the shirt and vest. Since both those backgrounds are retired, I skipped that step.

Origami Shirt

This shirt was made from one of the Palette of Prints designer paper pads. The case of the card is Barely Banana. The "Happy Father's Day" sentiment is from the SU! set And Many Mower in the April-June 2009 Occasions Mini catalog.

I thought these were sooo cute when I first saw them a year or two ago. Once you look at Cambria Turnbow's directions on her blog - they are really not that complicated to fold. I drew the line to separate the two sides of the shirt and then put the white brads in. The "Happy Father's Day" sentiment is from Stampin' Up!'s And Many Mower set that is in the April - June 2009 mini catalog.

Several tutorials (went to http://www.youtube.com and did a search on origami shirt folding:

Thought these were interesting too:
Shirt made with dollar bill:

This was pretty neat -- it is a shirt (made a little bit different at the bottom) and a pair of pants.

This is MUCH more complicated, and I don’t think I ‘ll try this one -- to labor intensive! - but it is neat to see him do the tie and then the shirt -- all out of one one dollar bill.

Another shirt and tie one - but he has prefolded everything - but his turns out a little neater.

I just thought the shirts made with the dollar bills were so cute and so had to try one...this is not as neat looking as some -- I watched the videos more and learned more about using the white edge of the bill as the collar and if you position it correctly, the various markings on the dollar bill will make a nicer looking shirt. But it did OK for a first or second try!

More to come!
