I’m excited to be sharing a Father’s Day card on the Simon blog today. This card is all about stamping. I stamped a triangle image from the Hourglass stamp set using several of the SSS exclusive inks to create a colorful pattern down the side of the card. The sentiment is from the Father’s Day stamp set. This card is hubby approved, so it passed the masculine test and verified my assumptions that men, indeed, do love rainbows as much as women.

Thanks for reading today and thanks to Laura for providing this gorgeous & colorful inspiration!

  1. Great idea to use a Christmas stamp set for a non-Christmas Card! You just have to keep your eyes open and think alternatively. Then you can get so much more out of your stamp sets.

  2. Laura, love your card! Love your videos. [I had other plans for that little strip you cut off the panel – but loved what you did with that foiled cardstock! What a great friend you have =]

  3. So pretty. (Oooops, can a masculine card be pretty.) Well, anyway, I love it. I really like the gold strip. Very cool.

  4. Beautiful card! I saw the foil card stock yesterday at Joann’s- loved it but couldn’t think of how to use it. Now I do! Thanks Laura.

  5. I think cards with the multi-colored stamping are so pretty. The overlapping gives new colors and a great design.

  6. Such a pretty card!! I like it for Mothers Day too. Just change the sentiment!! It’s a must try! My mother would love to get that card. I’ll have my daughter make it for her. My father isn’t fussy, lol.

  7. What a great card! I love the simplicity of it for a guy. It did take a while but so worth it. I love the little gold strip. Love your videos.

  8. What a beautiful card Laura. Just love the different colors. Great video and I like the idea of the gold stripe. I have to do that with a card. Just love all of Simon’s color ink pads. Beautiful colors. I don’t have many colors but am trying to buy them when I can. Perfect card for many occasions if you have enough colored ink pads.

  9. Laura is one of my stamping idols – I truly love everything she does and this one is just exceptional. Great use of the beautiful SSS colors and stamps!
