Fun with the Fourth!
Hello Stampers!When I began rubber stamping almost 20 years ago, my goal was to send cards for special events and holidays -- and the Fourth of July is one of them.

Happy Father’s Day!

(I also used a version of this card for a retirement party this last weekend. I just changed the sentiment -- from Teeny Tiny Wishes -- to Happy Retirement.
