Thinking about Fathers

Hi Stampers!
I'm back today with some sharing of a great new set in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog that I think you're going to love. It's called "A Good Man" and will help you with those sometimes difficult masculine designs.  Father's Day is coming up and for the first time, I won't be able to talk to my dad or make him a card. That's a hard realization for me but because I had such a great dad, there's also much gratitude in my heart that helps cover the sadness.

I had some fun with this set, coloring with Stampin'Blends. You'll recognize the style of sketching as we have several other stamp sets that are similar!  Here are my ideas so far:




All of these cards are pretty simple in design. I combined some images and paper from the "Come Sail Away" suite and also grabbed the older stamp set "High Tide" for some help with the sand and water in the second card. I'm especially happy these stamps work well just stamped or colored. I know I'll be reaching for this set over and over when I need a card for a guy. There are still plenty of great guys in my life including most who are fathers like my husband, brother, father-in-law and brothers-in-law so this set will inspire me.

Have you had a chance to peruse the new catalog yet?  You can see it in PDF version by clicking on the icon on the right ---->>>>. I would be happy to mail you a print copy as well if you don't already have a Stampin'Up! demonstrator and live outside my local area. If you live locally, contact me and I'll meet you at a coffee shop or drop one off where you work or live. It's easy to get your hands on one and see all the products. I also have some classes coming up in June so check out my calendar and see if any of those work for you. I'd love to share some stamping time with you!

Hope you have a great day and also have some creative time!

Happy Stampin'!
Sarah
