This is the last of my new stamps, it’s a tim holtz stampers anonymous vintage car, and as with the previous stamps, gives a gloriously clear stamped image.I can’t remember what ink I stamped it with – most annoying because I would like to repeat it,if I stumble across it I will update this post!The background papers are Simple Stories Awesome. I can see a definite light at the end of the christmas card tunnel – 2 more very special xmas cards in boxes, then all the Christmas bits and pieces are going away, and I am ready to play with all my new stuff.I have been so patient!Til tomorrow….

Worlds Greatest….Dad
Here is my final fathers day card for this year.The base cardstock is stampin Up early espresso, and the patterned paper is Simple Stories Awesome. I die cut the cup from a cuttlebug die that I have had for ages – I am not sure if it is still available, and the letters are from a websters pages sheet. The Worlds Greatest is a new stamp from stampin Up and I stamped it in black on to some Crumbcake cardstock and distressed the edges. The two circles in the opposite corners are craftworks candi.After tea I will be found in the craft room preparing my packs for my village lesson this month – it’s all about christmas! Til tomorrow….
A mix of papers and some twine…
I have combined a couple of different papers here for this male birthday card ( would work just as well for Fathers day. From the base – Stampin Up cardstock – Not quite navy, the backfground paper and banner – Simple stories Awesome, the tag – stampin up naturals ivory, the denim pocket – october afternoon sasparilla. The pocket was stamped with my kazzazz stamp – large pocket, and then cut out – looks like the real thing doesn’t it? and I added craftworkcards candi and threaded the tag with stampin up bakers twine.This is a great card if you are giving a gift voucher because is fits into the pocket. Someone today was my 50,ooo th visitor – that’s exciting and what keeps me blogging – thank you all so much for continuing to visit!

Simple Stories Awesome 7
This is the last male card that I will show for a little while – we will have a break from mens cards tomorrow. The paper is Simple Stories Awesome, and I used the 12 x 12 sheets. All the images were on the sheets, it was just a matter of cutting out the bits that I wanted. The stars are from the matching sticker sheet, and I distressed and inked all the edges with Tim Holtz rusty Hinge ink. The cardstock is Stampin Up Cajun craze. Tomorrow something girly! Til tomorrow….
