Uncharted Territory
I set this card up as a birthday card but my customers found it to be a perfect Father's Day card too. I'm mourning the retirement of the Uncharted Territory stamp set and the Well Worn Designer Series Paper collection. They are fantastic for man cards.

Man Card
I forgot to take a vote yesterday at Stamp Camp for the favorite card. It would be hard to choose. This card had everyone oohing & ahing and talking, “Man Card”so I would venture to say that it was a favorite. The lush colors of the Morning Mocha DSP give this card a stunning presence.
I went to a 50th birthday party last night and tucked a Macy’s gift card inside for the distinguished guest of honor. All went into a Crumb Cake Medium Envelope.
You know me, I have to milk it for all it’s worth.

A Wise Owl for a Wise Young Man
My oldest grandson recently turned 9 years old. Seems like he was just born last week. We had the traditional family birthday dinner on Easter Sunday. There was a BIG Easter Egg Hunt in my daughter’s back yard and the kids dyed Easter Eggs too. As I didn’t want the Easter day activities to out shadow his birthday, I made this card that really fits him. He loves to read and he is extremely smart.
When I am making a punch art figure, I squeeze a few drops of Tombow on waxed paper and use a tooth pick to spread glue on the teeny tiny parts. That’s my tip for the day.

Frostwood Lodge
Masculine Cards are always a challenge but the Frostwood Lodge Designer Paper makes it easy. The Cherry Cobbler quilted ribbon has the look and feel that reminds me of one of my Dad’s ties. Definitely great for masculine cards.
