This month we created a unique and eclectic Father's Day card using the Show & Tell photopolymer stamp sets. I really like the color combinations for a masculine card.

My tips:
- create long arrows by inking & stamping half of the image first, then the other half next to it.
- SU's online class-Seeing the Possibilities (item 134532)-provides all the basics you need to make the most of their newest photopolymer stamp offerings
- cardstock: basic gray, smoky slate, bermuda bay, chocolate chip, whisper white
- inks: chocolate chip, basic grey, bermuda bay, white kraft ink
- stamp set: show & tell 1,2 ; designer typeset
- embellishments: neutrals candy dots
Our next project is not necessarily a Father's day gift but a simple home decor item that can strike a good conversation in anyone's home!

My tips:
- punch out 3 flowers. curl two of the flower's petals upward then 1 of them downward.
- the top flower is made by cutting a slit between two of the petals toward the center of the flower. Then overlap one petal over the other to create a raised flower (you now have 5 petals instead of 6)
- create the rose shape in the middle of the top flower by punching out a 1 3/4" circle and cutting it into a swirl shape; curl from the tip with a skewer to create the rose.
- works best if you use a low-heat glue gun.
- cut 3 different lengths of floral wire to offset your flowers.
Supplies used:
- cardstock: island indigo, whisper white
- inks: pool party, island indigo, versamark
- designer series paper(DSP): quatrefancy
- stamp set: oh,hello; chalk talk
- white embossing powder & heat gun
- other: floral wire, 6 1/2" tall vase (dollar store), filler paper
