Woohoo! Welcome to June! This year is half over. Can you believe it? Aren’t you glad. Oh my… what a year it has been!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, this month’s theme for the Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop is all about the men in our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I have a great husband and two wonderful sons… the first man in this girl’s life was her daddy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This was our family back in July 1971. That’s me asleep in my Mother’s arms. We were getting ready to move to Iceland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From even before that day, he was my hero…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I was a Daddy’s girl. I pretty much still am. He taught me how to use a drill and change a tire. He taught me a lot about computers and helped me with my math homework. I still call him when I need help. And, he is my go-to person when it comes to booking a cruise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He’s a great guy and I love him more than he could ever imagine. And, this is a card made just for him… for Father’s Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You may have noticed that this card was made with some of the new great products from the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The color scheme uses Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and what may be my new favorite color… Misty Moonlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The layers were cut using the new Best Plaid dies. I cut the stripes in two different colors to add a bit more texture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The sentiments are from the Best Year stamp set – which happens to come bundled with the Best Plaid dies for a discount! It full of great sentiments for both the outside and the inside of cards for all occasions any time of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I thought the inside was a bit blank with just the layers and the sentiment, so I added 1\/8″ stripes in the same colors as the plaid on front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, a little tip about punching that banner. The bottom layer is 1-1\/2″ which fits perfect in the Banner Triple Punch, but the Vanilla layer that the sentiment is on is 1-1\/4″ wide. That is an in-between size for the punch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
