Blue Ribbon Father

  I made this card quite a while ago as a swap for the Baltimore Stampin' Up! regional meeting in April.    It's a fun guy card and can be easily changed for a birthday as well.


  Making Stampin' Up! swaps in the month of April is a tough thing….the spring and annual catalogs were coming to a close, retirement lists were soon approaching, retired colors were already announced. In short, it was a guessing game as to what stamp sets would still be available.  I tried to play it safe with current In Colors and a stamp set that was new within the last year.

  Blue ribbon is a fun set in that you can customize the center with just about anything you can punch out with a circle.  There are a variety of images that come with the set and you can also added other elements from other stamp sets.

  I went with the great guy color combination of Gumball Green, Midnight Muse, Marina Mist and Crumb Cake.

  I hope all the dad's in your life have a great Father's Day!

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
