Happy Father’s Day

Father's Day, High Hopes Stamps, Masculine, , ,

Welcome Everyone;

It’s hard to believe that another month has gone by, and we are definitely into spring and before too long summer will be here.

Flowers will be in full bloom butterflies will be looking for places to land, that is if they aren’t caught by the Butterfly Guy.  Yep, he is definitely on the hunt for these butterflies.

After colouring Butterfly Guy (High Hopes Stamps) with Copic Markers, I used a square die to cut it out.  Some Clear Zig Wink of Stella on the Butterflies and enamel dots finished off this CAS card.

Mad Hatter

Masculine, One Crazy Stamper, , , ,

Hi All!

It’s time again for another Sunday post for OCS. The week has been busy; and to add to the
mix the males and not the grandsons have been rather exasperating, which makes
the Mad Hatter stamp from Kraftin Kimmie a perfect choice.

“Best Dad”

Masculine, One Crazy Stamper, , , ,

For my last post of the month for One Crazy Stamper and as Father’s Day is almost here, I used this really cute stamp from S.W.A.L.K. from Crafter’s Companion called “Best Dad”. This is an unmounted stamp, which I mounted on EZ mount static cling foam and used the Hot Craft Knife to trim it; an awesome tool to have.
