Father's Day Cards

Do you need a Father's Day card? 

There are several cards that would work for Fathers at the Stamp Along this time. 

This one could be for that or retirement to graduation or almost any occasion. 

There are two that use the same set with a masculine theme. 

Again, they could be used for several occasions. 

This cute little dog could also fit the bill!

There will also be necessary cards. 

I have needed way too many of these lately!

Birthday cards are always in demand.

This one uses the stamps that were in a kit. 

Butterflies are alway good! I have seen a few in the flowers when I have been out in the last few days. 

It still isn't very warm but the flowers are coming along nicely!

This one is back from last time. 

It is a shaker card that can go through the mail easily. 

It is made with tulle instead of the window sheets and doesn't require the raised space. 

Here are a few pictures of my backyard flowers for you to enjoy.

Daffodiles by the pond. 

Trilliums in the "wild" corner. 

Two lilies. The one on the right was so tall last year that I was sure it was going to break when all the flowers were open. The other one got broken when I was working in their corner. 

These are tiny little pink wild flowers. They are so delicate and pretty.

A little Hyacinth in the irises.

I hope you enjoyed the tour. 

Hope to stamp with you on Monday at the Library some time in the afternoon.

Thank you! 

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO YOU!

May Flowers

It is difficult to design cards with a spring theme when the weather yells, "Winter!"

This card can be used for several different occasions, depending on the saying you stamp among the flowers. I have these choices for you. 

This one combines the embosses and the punched flowers for a nice note card. When it says Thinking of You, it can be for any occasion or reason and it can bring so much cheer to the one that receives it. 

Using that same embossing folder on a colored card stock totally changes the effect. 

This color combo is very striking! The velum makes it elegant. 

Again, you have a choice of sayings for the card. 

I wanted to use these wonderful word dies but they didn't look right on the above card so I tried them on a flat piece of card stock and then put them through the Big Shot in the embossing folder. That gives it a different look but also quite elegant. Notice that both of them use the flower vine die. 

This one is using some of the card stock that I had cut but not to regular size so you will have a choice of color for your layer. 

There will also be Father's Day choices available. I will try to get those posted tomorrow. 

The Hostess code for now  is

Thank you!
