Some days just are more fun! Hope today was a day like that for you. Cool rainy days like the day I am writting this blog are perfect for at home games with the family.

I must confess I have not really gotten into playing chess. Marc has shown me a few times but it hasn’t really been my thing. Cards, both playing and the making, are more my speed.

Close up of the final “masculine” themed card from class. When preparing this CASED card from INKYBUTTERFLY I did a few versions and I feel it should be pointed out that the checkerboard background looks best when stamped vertically. Perhaps this is common knowledge but… well it took me trial and error to figure out.

How to make this card:

1. Start with a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 vertical base in Basic Gray Cardstock. Burnish folded edge with a bone folder.
2. Crop Smokey Slate Cardstock to 2 7/8 x 3 5/8.
3. Using the back side of the Smokey Slate piece as a guide stamp the checkerboard image from the Game on stamp at the top right and bottom left corners in Smokey Slate ink.
4. Stamp the chess piece image on Whisper White in Smokey Slate ink and crop with the largest square of the Stitched Shapes dies.
5. Adhere Whisper White cardstock with chess piece image to the Smokey Slate cardstock with Stampin’ Seal.
6. Stamp the “hope your day is all fun & games” sentiment to the bottom of the Smokey Slate cardstock piece and adhere to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
