Hello Stampers!I’ve known about Father’s day for the last 365 days, yet I waited until yesterday (Saturday) to put a card together for my husband. Because my craft room is at the height of disorganization, I had to create at the dining room table. He kept coming in the house for something or another, so it made creating on the sly very difficult. I had about 10 minutes to put this card together.
He took up biking about four years ago, so I thought Stampin’ Up!’s Schoolhouse Designer Series Paper was perfect for his card. The bike from the Sheltering Tree stamp set also came in handy. And, Teeny Tiny wishes to the rescue. That set has every sentiment one would ever need.
Happy Father’s Day to my husband, my dad, and all of the other dads out there today!
Enjoy!

Hello Stampers!
Welcome to the Stamp It June Blog Hop: It’s for the Boys. Whether you’ve come from Liz Miller’s blog or this is the first stop of the day, we’re so glad you joined us. This month’s hop features cards focusing on the men and boys in our lives.
I’ve been on a watercoloring binge lately, so I wanted to incorporate that into today’s card. Here are some of the steps I took to put this creation together:
- Using the Circles Framelits, I cropped two different sized circles from both the watercolor and Always Artichoke card stock.
- With the Aqua Painters, I applied layers of Always Artichoke, Marina Mist and So Saffron ink to the Watercolor paper.
- I lightly sponged Crumb Cake ink around the edges of the circles to take the edge off. (I also sponged the edge of the hardwood piece.)
- I stamped the goose image from the Wetlands set (so great for guy cards!) in Stazon and applied it to the watercolored background.
- I inked the Hardwood Background stamp with Versamark, applied it to Crumb Cake card stock and heat embossed it with Black Embossing Powder.
- I notched a piece of the Burlap Ribbon and glued it to the hardwood base and used dimensionals to add the layered image
Enjoy today’s hop. The next stop is Tami White.

Hello Stampers!Can you say cute? Cute. Cute. Cute. My friend and fellow stamper Ruth Grosscup is going to be a grandma again, and she is excited. This is the baby shower card she designed and created to welcome her son and daughter-in-law’s new addition to their family.
This card uses Stampin’ Up!’s Baby’s First Framelits. The framelits and Big Shot with the magnetic platform make it soooo easy to cut out the pieces including the onesie, hanger and flower. The framelits also come with a matching stamp set called Something for Baby.
I hope you enjoy Ruth’s card as much as I do!
Happy stamping!

Hello Stampers!A great big thank you to the volunteers from the Lincoln Community Women’s Club who help make cards that are donated to our local Make-A-Wish organization. Each month, we stamp about 40 cards and try to make a variety of birthday, thinking of you, and thank you. This particular card was designed as one a Make-A-Wish volunteer could use to send a child off on their wish.
I just had to use my new Layered Letters Alphabet set from Stampin’ Up!’s new annual catalog. It’s a simple, but bright card that can be easily mailed. (I used the retired Brights Designer Series Paper Stack for the star because my new package hasn’t arrived yet.)
See the list below for the supplies I used to create this card.
Happy stamping!
