Best Dad Ever ~ Stampers With An Attitude (Blog Hop)

At times it is difficult to create something appropriate to give to a man or boy, so members of our Stampers With An Attitude team decided to focus on Masculine Artwork this month.

Using this fun image from The Best Dad Ever stamp set makes creating a nice Father's Day card quick and easy. The image was stamped using Cocoa ink. Then it was also stamped on another piece of cardstock using Barn Red ink and Black ink. The colored hat and bow tie were cut out and placed on top of the original image, giving it more flair. Some fabulous patterned papers from the Jackson kit were used along with Pattern #20 from the Make It From Your Heart Volume 2 "how to" book.

And the inside of the card is completed using the other image included in The Best Dad Ever set.

Now "Hop" on over to the Heartfelt Sentiments blog for more masculine artwork.

Typed Note (April SOTM Blog Hop)

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop, featuring the Typed Note stamp set. Included in the set is a wonderful old-fashion typewriter, along with several different "typewritten" phrases. See all the stamp set images in the picture at the bottom of this post.

To give some dimension to the typewriter, it was embossed using Silver Super Fine embossing powder. Two of the sentiments from the Typed Note set were then stamped onto the "paper" portion using Cocoa ink. Cocoa cardstock forms the base of the card, with patterned paper from the new Jackson kit. To add just a bit more shine, a strip of Bronze Shimmer Trim was used along with some Oceanside Sequins.

Place a $50 minimum order this month (April 2015) and you are eligible to purchase the Typed Note stamp set for only $5.
