Bench Fold BBQ Masculine Card - SUO Challenge #201

With Father's Day approaching it seems appropriate to make a masculine related card, which is the current challenge with this week's SUO Challenges 

BBQ season is in full swing, and just the other day I could smell my neighbour making supper using his BBQ. Unfortunately I need to make a trip to the store to buy some propane. I'd  better do it soon because a heat wave is predicted for my part of the world tomorrow - 41 degrees C

So, instead of barbequing I made a BBQ card using the tutorial at Splitcoaststampers here

It's  a bench fold card, the base of which is Sahara Sand embossed with the Brick Embossing folder.  The strip in front and the table is one of  the new Neutral colors : Merry Merlot.  I used the same colors to make the apron and part of the oven mitts.
The feet were made using the Decorative Label punch.

On the back of the center portion, were adhered 3 silver foil rectangles were adhered to basic black card stock,

The heat elements were made using 1 1/4, 1and 3/4" circle punches using Basic Black and silver foil card stock.  The coffee pot and cup were fussy cut from retired DSP( I left a tail on the end of each item, bent it and adhered the pot and cup to the BBQ top with the little fold only)

The on/off knobs were made using the same punches.

The oven mitts were die cut using the Apron Builder framelits with some black Baker's twine added to each one.

The sentiment is from the May Paper Pumpkin kit.

On the left side the die cut utensils were hung on a black rolling pin, but I left a few to put in the pocket of the apron.

The remainder of the utensils are stored on the right wall.

Supplies Used:

Stamp:  May Paper Pumpkin stamp

Inks:  Merry Merlot

Papers:  Sahara Sand, Merry Merlot, Basic Black, Silver Foil, Retired DSP

Accessories:  Brick Embossing Folder, Apron Builder framelits, 3/4", 1", and 1 1/4" circle punches, Decorative Label Punch, Black Baker's twine

A Bench Fold Barbeque card

I've made a Bench fold card before (sometimes this fold is referred to as a U-fold), but for other occasions.  Because the versatility of this card fold lends itself to decorating for almost any occasions I had previously used this fold to create a wedding card  here; a Christmas card here and even a Halloween card here

For today, I wanted to make a masculine BBQ card using the Apron Love and it's coordinating Apron Builder framelits.  Because I have used up the True Gentleman DSP I have used the Coffee Specialty DSP.

I used the bench fold tutorial on Splitcoaststampers here

The base card is 4 1/4 by 11 3/4" piece of Crumb Cake card stock scored at 2, and 3 7/8" at each end and then folded in to form a bench.
I added DSP to each of these areas.
The feet for the BBQ were die cut using the smaller die of the Lots of labels framelits.

For the back wall, I mounted some rectangular pieces of silver foil on Basic Black card stock  and attached it to the wall.

For the BBQ cook top, I die cut some small foil circles and mounted them on a larger Basic Black circle and attached them to the table top.  I also added a foil "warming" tray and placed some utensils around it.

A coffee pot and mug were cut from the DSP leaving a 1/2" strip of DSP at the bottom of each.  The pot and mug were adhered to each of the burners by this extra piece of DSP.

Finally  I die cut an apron, added a pocked and some utensils, and the meat is ready to put on the burners.

Supplies Used:

Stamp:  Apron of Love

Inks:  Black Memento
