This cute little card was spotted on Martha Inchley's blog and I fell instantly in love with it.  Thank You Martha!!

Ok, so yes, it is a little early for Father's Day, but there was no way I could put off making this adorable card.  This set is called Something For Baby, but today it is Something for Dad!

You'll notice a difference in the two hangers.  They are actually both stamped with Soft Suede.  The on on the right (as you look at it) was stamped first.  At that point I realized I needed to re-ink my pad.

Look closer!  Click on the photo - it should open in another window and it should be bigger and easier to see.  After stamping the hangers, I used my Basic Gray Stampin' Write Marker and a scrap piece of card stock to make the line across the hanger.


Remember to keep your ink pads nice and juicy so they are ready to stamp crisp and clean!  Need to know how to add ink to your pads, contact me and I'll be happy to help.

I stamped the tie - also in the same stamp set with Blackberry Bliss, Pacific Point and Pumpkin Pie and then cut them out by hand.  You could certainly use the thinlit that matches this set, but I wanted them trimmed up a little closer, plus it was faster to cut by hand than running them through six times.


I added a Cherry Cobbler heart from the Confetti Heart Punch.  I think Real Red would have looked better.  What do you think?

Each tie is popped up with a half of a Stampin' Dimensional on the bottom and a thin slice of Stampin' Dimensional for the upper half.  It was skinnier than I thought, so I had to make a thin slice instead of a half a dimensional.


These cards were made using the Note Cards and Envelopes.  I just love the size of these little gems!
