You’re the Best by Par!

If you’re looking for a fun card design for the golfer in your life, this golf-themed card is sure to be a hole-in-one! I created this A2 card using the Hole in One Bundle from Taylored Expressions, featuring the Par for the Course Cutting Plate and Layering Stencils as the star of the show. The bundle includes everything needed to build playful golf scenes complete with fairways, sand traps, water hazards, golf carts, bags, and pun-filled sentiments.  

For this card, I kept the focus on the beautifully detailed golf course background. After die-cutting the course from Spellbinders Rainforest cardstock, I used the coordinating stencils and Lawn Fawn inks to bring the scene to life. The fairways were blended with Jalapeño and Celery, while Fish Tank and Kiddie Pool created the soft blue water features. Doe added warm sandy tones to the bunkers, and Crunchy Leaf provided extra depth and shading around the course details.

To keep the design clean and graphic, I added the small flag accents to each green and clustered a few die-cut shrubs around the course. The bright red flags add the perfect pop of color against the lush greens and blues.

The sentiment, “You’re the BEST BY PAR!”, takes center stage and makes this card perfect for birthdays, Father’s Day, retirement celebrations, congratulations, or simply encouraging the golf lover in your life.
