Good Morning everyone
I made this bench fold card for my dads birthday, its the 1st time ive made one of these folds and i used up random stuff from my craft stash to build the scene. I found a template on pinterest and then just sized it up to make an A5 sized bench. Also known as a shelf card.
I made all the bench elements and base from 350gsm brown cardstock so its nice and sturdy. I found several wood themed papers in my stash to cut to fit the panels and inked all the edges brown. The drawer fronts i cut out of a paper and added with foam tape for some dimension. I added various tools, both die cut from card and little metal ones. 2 chipboard cats i covered with black cadence dora paint so they shimmer a bit, but also it gives them a bit of texture.
Showing it from above, on the bench i added some little seed packets, newspapers, tools - all things you do find on my dads workbenches, including the cats
metal charms added to the back panel with metal brads
And a box for it, as although these bench fold cards do fold flat in the past my dad hasn't quite worked out how to display fancy fold cards so i decided to just give it to him in its finished upright position😀
All the items i used for this have been in my stash for a very very long time so not sure on the makes of most of it, the wood pattern papers are a mix of very old paper pads from docrafts & poundland.
Thank you all for popping by once again. I hope its a good weekend for you all. Keep warm. Hugs Emmaxx
