Hello, Hello!
It is the 2nd Tuesday of the month of May, so that means it is time for the Inspire Create Share Blog Hop! If you are coming from Charmane’s blog, thank you for continuing to hop! I know, I missed this one last month as well! I was on a 10 day road trip with my family, picking up my folks in AZ and taking them to TX, then in reverse back to MT all in 10 days! It was my nephew’s wedding and we had not been together as a family since my sister passed in 2019. It was a wonderful, albeit grueling, road trip!
Back to our blog hop, this month’s theme is It’s a Guy Thing, so I chose the Handsomely Suited Bundle stamp set and dies because I had not played with them yet! The main reason I bought them was because my father-in-law wears suspenders and there are dies to make suspenders!! So cute, right?!
Naturally, I made a card for him for Father’s Day, early, I know…but now the trick will be to send it to him in Canada on time! 🙂
Here is my card…keeping it simple…
And here is the inside of it…
That is it for me today! All the supplies and ingredients I used to make this card are listed below. There is also info about the upcoming Paper Pumpkin kit in June below…it’s going to be a beauty and coordinates with a gorgeous new suite in the catalog!
Keep on hopping by clicking on the Next button to see what others have done starting with Joni Metras, who is up after me.
Thank you for reading and taking this crafting journey with me! It’s nice to have you along! Enjoy your own Stampin’, Scrappin’, and Craftin’ journey! Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts about this project. Feel free to CASE my projects and share them in the comments below! I love to see what others create!Â
Blessings, June

Love this card. Reminds me of my Dad in his red suspenders. He was a hobby farmer in his retirement.

Those red suspenders and plaid shirt remind me of my father. He became a hobby farmer in his retirement and always wore suspenders.
