You CAN make time -- Stamping Simply with Sharon Johnson

Happy Father’s Day – by Holly McMillen

Father’s Day is approaching, being on June 16 this year. I know often women make and give cards to not only their own fathers but to their husbands and sons who might be fathers. Holly created today’s very masculine card with pretty much just a pad of paper with matching die cuts and a single sentiment. One could make dozens of similar cards with the pad and die cuts on hand that Holly used, and they are ON SALE right now until sold out.

All these wonderful papers are from our Workshop Paper Bundle #7 by Kaisercraft – 30% OFF!

The sentiment is from A Man of Knowledge by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The sentiment was cut with Fishtail Sentiment Banners by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

Holly also used Circle Dies and Star Dies (similar linked).

Thank you so much, Holly, for this super fun, attractive and easy to make masculine card!

God Loves You – by Karen Letchworth

Good Monday morning to all! God loves you! What a beautiful message to send off to a friend via a hand made card. Karen very successfully combined a variety of sets on her card today which will surely encourage the recipient. The pleasing color combination of blue and yellow is always a winner and the message of God’s love via stamped sentiments and the cross offers comfort.

The floral is from Fall Flowers Floral Cluster by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The sentiment is from Farmhouse All Occasion Greetings by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The sentiment is cut with Fishtail Sentiment Banners by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The cross is cut using Easter is for Jesus by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

And please note UNDER the cross – that beautifully scripted white embossed verse – better seen in the photo below.

That sentiment is from The Lord’s Prayer by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The rectangle used to cut the yellow sentiment panel is from our Praying Hands die set, which is a companion to Pray Without Ceasing by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

I absolutely love the beautiful and subtle look of the white embossed sentiment under the cross.

It adds such an elegant touch.

Truly a beautiful card which will offer the encouragement intended.

I Pledge Allegiance – by Julie Gearinger

Our patriotism should shine through 24/7/365, however the summer months have so many patriotic holidays to celebrate that I think we just pay more attention to patriotic creations during this season. In the near future we have Armed Forced Day on 5/18, Memorial Day celebrated this year on 5/27, Flag Day on 6/14 and next up is the 4th of July. And today Julie is sharing a part of our Patriotic Series of stamps and dies on her gorgeous card.

Isn’t this just wonderful. Patriotic cards hit me at the core each and every time!

Julie’s card is a quick make and flat for mailing, so that’s another win/win!

The pledge and large bottom sentiment are from The Pledge of Allegiance by Stamp Simply Clear Stamp.

The USA map/flag is from Old Glory by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

That wonderful paper is from The Fourth of July by Carta Bella.

The lovely lace is our Venise Lace – .75″ Lucia White.

Julie stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black and colored both with colored pencils and water based markers.

Thank you so much, Julie, for this stunningly beautiful patriotic card!

God Bless the USA!

Checking In on the Doctor – by Deb Felts

Deb is one of the most creative people I know. Her talents extend to a myriad of the arts and crafts and we are so glad she shares her card-making abilities with us. And she loves to customize her cards for the specific recipients. Today’s card was made for her neighbor who is a doctor, and I think she nailed this one – for sure!

Today the good doctor is sporting a plaid shirt under his lab coat.

He had some health issues of his own and Deb wanted to give him an appropriate card – and that she did.

Deb cut/scored the card front into the shape of a lab coat, complete with a pocket for a rose bud and an embossed pencil.

The rose is from Thinking of You Rose by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

Deb crafted the pencil out of cardstock and used a sentiment from Typewritten Just Checking In by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

To give the pencil its realistic look Deb used a bit of Luxury Pearlescent Metallic 105# Cardstock in Silver.

She stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and shadowed it with Delicata Silvery Shimmer ink.

Deb used Spellbinders Standard Rectangles to create the pockets on both the lab coat and shirt.

In his pocket he carries a lovely rose and a pencil with the message/reason for sending the card.

The message continues on the shirt pocket inside, again from Typewritten Just Checking In by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

A little folding and cutting with the addition of buttons creates the perfect shirt.

The heart was cut using Farmhouse Pierced Nested Hearts by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

That luscious plaid paper is from Tartan Plaid by Craft Consortium.

Thank you so much, Deb, for this very creative and special card that would be perfect for anyone in the medical profession.

Deb provides the how-to on her blog post here.
