Father's Day you ask? Of course! Last night's workshop hostess actually requested a Father's Day card! She is planning ahead! Granted, this design is flexible enough for any occasion! This card was made using the Plane and Simple Stamp Set out of the Occasions Mini catalog. This is a great stamp set - and maybe, just maybe, I'll try stamping it in a different color scheme at some point!!!
Last night's workshop was especially special for me. Why? Because my mother-in-law and sister-in-law were in attendance! They've certainly been the recipient of my hand-stamped cards, but they've never gotten to see me in action! They both enjoyed themselves! My friends joke that the "7 Degrees of Kevin Bacon" is really the "2 Degrees of Kristin". It's really amazing how small our worlds really are! Last night's hostess was someone I met at a workshop a couple of years ago through a woman who spotted my ad in the local paper for an Open House about 3 years ago! WELL, apparently my nephew and the son of last night's hostess are really good friends! Did you follow any of that? No worries, I won't quiz you later.
Check out the Father's Day oval. HELLO? When I stamped that, I thought - OMG! An Easter Egg!!! I'm going to have to try stamping that diamond pattern in a pastel color and punching it with an oval punch. Who would have thought this masculine, vintage stamp set would have a little Easter in it!?!?!?
