Tropical Design Man's Shirt Card

This beautiful tropical design shirt was inspired by my Husbands large closet full of tropical shirts - so I began searching the internet for a template. As simple to make as the regular dress shirt - but with a front that is ink blended, this shirt card makes a fantastic masculine card for that very special person in your life.

Thinking of You and Spectrum Noir Markers

My flower gardens are in bloom and with them brings many types of God's beautiful winged creatures. I have hummingbird feeders all around my yard and many natural plants that attract them. They are so fun to watch. I love it when they battle over the feeders and playfully torment each other. So tiny yet so powerful. 

Inspired by the spring colors and adorable birds I have used the colors from Spectrum Noir to blend and highlight this stamped image by Inkadinkado.  It catches perfectly a scene from my gardens that plays each day. A true blessing of God. 

You're An Amazing Dad - Father's Day or Birthday Card

Inspiration for this card was found on the internet in other similar designs that portrayed cars, motorcyles, boats and other big boy toys.....that father's would love. The simplistic colors of black and white stamping of the background is what in my opinion makes the card stand out. 

For this background I used the Close To My Heart Sets Born To Ride and Maximum Power. For the Sentiment I used a Hampton Art stamp. In order to show each of the stamps I used a 5" x 7" card.  You can modify this card to stamp for children or other occasions.

Father's Day Shirt Card

I sometimes find it difficult to come up with ideas for masculine cards. This fun fold card is a favorite and perfect for Father's day, birthday or any event for that favorite guy in your life. This card is quick and easy to make (it only looks hard to do - trust me!). There are many designs are all over the internet but I like this one. There is so many different changes you can make with this.  Thank you for visiting - Please Share - and Have A Great Day!!

Celebrate 30! With Close To My Heart

My Hero My Dad!! 

It has been another beautiful day at the beach. Weather is cool enough that yard work is not a struggle and that is always a bonus. I am hoping for a beach or pool day soon. I am a bit behind on my summer tan.  

Today's card is for those wonderful Father's out there. I used the Triple Time Stamping technique and it turned out beautiful. Very easy to make and as always fun to put together.  I hope everyone is having a great day!
