Is it Saturday already again?! My where does the time go? I hope you remembered that tomorrow is Father's Day?! If not you still have all of today to make a quick manly card, run out to the store and get some beer, the newest tool or the latest golf club . lol No? That's not your dad? Oh well I'm sure you know exactly what to get your dad/special man in your life.
My dad is your typical handyman, always fixing something so when I first spotted this cute stamp set by Taylored Expressions I HAD to get it just for my dad.
The set is called Boys will be Boys and has all the stereotypical and yet so true stamps you may need for your guy: some BBQ stuff, golf goodies, ties, boots, newspaper with morning coffeee and this fabulous tool belt, which I gave a little shiny glaze with my Crystal Effects btw.
My wooden patterned paper is from the Cosmo Cricket line Happy Camper and the fun red plaid
DP is from a little paper pack I had gotten as a gift from a dear friend of mine.
Fun little embellies like screw brads and metal gears add just the right manly touch to any card. Oh and this awesome big striped ribbon, one of my all-time favorite ribbon btw is from the Cat's Pajamas.
Tips'n' Tricks: would like to add a textured metal sheet to your card but don't have the time to go to the store to buy some metal sheets? Grab some aluminum foil, glue it to some cardstock and run it with an embossing folder through your bigshot for some textured metal sheet.
Are you curious to see what my SFYTT Sisters have come up with? I know I am!!! Hold on to your donut and enjoy!!! :)
