Father’s Day is coming

Father’s Day is coming so I made this masculine card for the men in our lives. It is a generic card so it could be used as a Father’s Day Card, a birthday card, or even a retirement card. Whatever special day that is going on in their lives.

The card base is made with Night of Navy Card stock. The DSP is from the Sale-A-Bration “County Club Designer Series Paper”. I also used the stamp set “Well Dressed” and stamped the hat on the DSP before fuzzy cutting it out. The Sentiment comes from the Peaceful Moments stamp set. I love how all the stamp sets work so well together.

The Measurements are as follows;

  1. Night of Navy card base, 5 1/2 x 11″, scored at 4 1/4″ then folded
  2. DSP, 5 1/4″ x 4″
  3. Vellum, 4″ x 3″
  4. Night of Navy Mat, 2 1/2″ x 3″
  5. Whisper White, 2 1/4 x 2 3/4″

Tick! tock! Time is running out. Select products from the January–June 2020 Mini Catalog and 2019–2020 Annual Catalog are retiring, as of June 2nd. This is the last chance for you to stock up! Don’t forget to check out the Clearance Rack as well. They have some amazing deals.

All this and Free shipping to your door. You will think Christmas came early. As an added bonus, you can select items from the new catalog as part of your Starter kit! How cool it that?

While staying home, it’s a great time to get all those little things done that we usually put aside. In theory, that’s true, however in practice, not so much. I know for me, my crafting space is a bit of a mess as I pull out paper, ink, stamps and punches to work on a project or two. It keeps me busy and I love crafting so I am ok with that, for a while.

However, there does come a time where I have to step back, clean and organize so I can get ready for my next project. This is where the storage containers come in handy. It’s a great way to store all your ink pads, re-inker bottles, blender pens, and write markers all in one place and I absolutely love how it holds everything together so at a glance I can see which ink I am looking for.

These storage containers can be fully configured to suit your space and makes it clearly visible so you don’t have to go searching. You can purchase these containers on my online store with Stampin’ Up! to get yourself a little bit more organized. Don’t forget to use the May HOST CODE – P3ADAX96 for any orders under $200.00 to earn unique rewards from me.

Ok, and now for the good news. I can’t help but be excited to see all the new products that will become available in the new Annual catalog on June 3rd. We’ve already had a sneak peak of just one new product suite and that’s just the beginning.

The Ornate Garden suite is already available for purchase. The suite includes Every thing you need to create beautiful cards or scrap book pages. Two sets of stamps AND dies, Beautiful Designer Series paper, Embossing folder, two colours of ribbon, and a package of Gilded Gems to add some bling to your projects.

For anyone who has shopped on my online store in the past 12 months, I will be sending you a copy of the new catalog directly. I cannot wait to share with you all the new products. As a demonstrator, I enjoy some added perks. Aside from my demonstrator purchase discount, I also get an advanced sneak peek of new products. This allows me to pre-order some of the new products in advance. I love being a demo because of that. So when we can get together again for classes. I will have some on hand to make even more beautiful products.

I am really hoping that by the time the new catalog is released we will be opening up our stores and services and social distancing eases up as Covid-19 dissipates a bit. In the meantime, stay safe and stay home. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
