In Honor of Dads & Grads

Yesterday was Father's Day and the day before that was my son's graduation open house. We were so lucky to have such gorgeous weather and a day surrounded by family and friends. It was worth all the work we put into it! Yesterday we were totally exhausted! I haven't had much time to stamp lately, so I thought I would share a few of the cards that we made at my last class for Dads & Grads.

Masculine cards are always more of a challenge for me. I figure I can't go wrong if I pull out one of my nature themed sets and use lots of hardware and embossing to create a metal look. So, a few of the cards here have embossed images and use brushed copper card stock.

This coming week I hope to share some new creations using some new stamp sets from the upcoming catalog. I received my pre-order last week and have hardly touched my stuff due to lack of time. :-(
