Show Dad Some Love
Hi readers! Happy Monday! We’re happy to be here with a very beautiful and colorful inspiration for Dad! This year Father’s Day is Sunday, June 15th. Mark your calendar and be sure to let your Dad know he rocks! Guest designer Laura Bassen used our new exclusive Father’s Day stamp set as well as a great combination of exclusive Simon colors!
Enjoy!
Watch the Video:
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.

Love this card! Laura never ceases to amaze me with her stamping!
Love, love this card! So unique and inspirational. I love the different colors, all wonderful from Simon :). And I love how you cut it apart and separated it with a metallic strip behind, really finishes off the card well! (something I would not have thought to do as I am not good at ‘finishing’ details). Thanks for sharing.

I still need to make a Mothers Day card, but maybe I’ll just do them both together so I’m not procrastinating on one. Love the rainbow effect, and how CAS it is. Thanks for the inspiration.
What was used for the gold stripe?
Stephanie – yours is the first post of the day for me. What a lovely way to start the day! Love the card. Great colors. So great for a male – but could be used for lots of things. Thanks for sharing your talents.
The more I look at the card you made, the more I like it. The colors are wonderful. Thanks for showing us how to make it.
