Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there, and especially to mine! Not sure what we are doing to celebrate today, but whatever he wants to do!

This card is similar to the one I made here. This is the only real "father" stamp I have, so I need to stretch it around! I think this is a great stamp from the Occasions Mini. Remember: this catalog ends at the end of June, and we won't know if these stamp sets will make it into the next catalog or not.

I love how big this chocolate chip ribbon is, and the white and chocolate make a very masculine combination. Happy Dad's day to all!

Tie for dad

I saw these cards online somewhere (can't remember where now), and thought they were just adorable. If you need a super quick card to give the father or grandfather in your life, this would be perfect. Father's Day is just around the corner!

As I sat there to tie the ribbon, I was dumfounded on how to make it actually look like a tie. So what did I do? Unrolled more of the ribbon, and put it around my neck to simulate actually tieing a tie! Ha! Under, over, around and through..... :)



The sentiment is from the new catalog, and what a great stamp set that is! Loads of sentiments for EVERY occasion! I snatched that right up! Hope you enjoy!

Dad....or Padre as we call him

This is a great stamp from Eight Great Greetings. If you need a stamp set that is going to get you through many holidays, this is the set! This is a great card to give your dad - for his birthday, father's day, or just because.

And....if you look closely, the Whisper White base is textured with the Harlequin texture plate from Backgrounds 1 Texturz pad. Gives that layer a little 'oomph' without adding an extra layer. I love how the fat Chocolate Chip Ribbon tops it all off!

I stamped the 'dad' image twice, and cut out the middle part and popped it up on blocks to give it some dimension.
