OSAT Blog Hop - Happy Father's Day


Welcome to the One Stamp At a Time Blog Hop for June - Father's Day!  I hope you enjoyed the marvelous projects by the wonderful, Darla, who just happens to be my upline & friend and enjoy the rest of the blogs along the hop!  

My Dad was my inspiration for my projects this month!  He loves trees, green, and he likes to read.  I incorporated all these into my card and project!   

Here is the card I created for Father's Day.....

Happy Father's Day tree card

I used the new in color from Stampin' Up! called Tip Top Taupe as the card base.  The background is Mossy Meadow stamped on the same color cardstock and is accented with a little burlapy ribbon.  I stamped the Lovely as a Tree image on watercolor paper in Memento Black ink followed by watercoloring in Mossy Meadow and Early Espresso.  I wanted the Happy Father's Day a little different than it actually stamps, so after stamping I just cut out the words and adhered with Stampin Dimensionals.  I think my Dad will love this card!

The project is always a challenge to come up with every month, but I was inspired by James doing a bookmark gift set last month.  I decided to do something similar, but yet different with my own design.
Dad bookmarks

Mine is a set of three bookmarks because my Dad is never ever reading just one book!  I wanted to tie the bookmarks into the card, so I used Lovely as a Tree stamps again and I love the "Dad" stamp from the Guy Greetings stamp set.  Tip Top Taupe and Mossy Meadow were also used again with an accent of Early Espresso ribbon.  There's a sleeve to package the bookmarks that was made out of Whisper White that you can see in the photo below.

I had a lot of fun coming up with the card and bookmarks this month and am looking forward to giving them to my Dad for Father's Day!  

The next stop in our blog hop is the very talented Elizabeth!

  1. I like the idea of giving a set of bookmarks, you are right people are usually reading multiple books at the same time. This set with matching card is terrific, love that green woodgrain with the tree!
