Father's Day Bridge Fold

 Hello & Happy Saturday, Friends!

Today Shawn & I are headed to Gettysburg to a Tesla event. I really did not want to go but Shawn asked me to go along since I never go to any of them. Ryan is on dog duty today while we are away but we are only an hour away from home if need be. Anyways, I am looking forward to some time away and picking blueberries! And our weather is to be pleasantly nice!

Since it is Father's Day weekend I have a really fun fold card to share with you.

I made this one for the bin which will go on the card rack eventually. I used the retired Gone Fishing suite that retired a few years ago.

Card Details:

Stamps: Gone Fishing (retired)

Ink: Mossy Meadow, Wild Wheat (retired In Color)

Cardstock: Mossy Meadow, Wild Wheat (retired In Color), Very Vanilla, Let's Go Fishing DSP (retired)

Accessories: Gone Fishing Dies (retired), Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Rustic Metallic Dots (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

This style of card is SO easy to make & fun!

It folds flat to mail and I just love how to it stands to be displayed.

I think Shawn would have really liked this one but I was late on making it and Ryan already picked a card for him.

Beautiful Scenery Father's Day Card

 Hello & Happy Saturday, Friends!

Today I have another Father's Day card to show you made with the Relaxing Waterside suite from the new 2026 May-August Catalog! I personally love the different prints in this pack of paper...so many to choose from!

Card Details:

Stamps: Relaxing Waterside

Ink: Misty Moonlight

Cardstock: Misty Moonlight, Basic White, Waterside Retreat DSP

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Strawberries & Dots (Online Exclusives), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

It displays those 3 patterns nicely and made for a great card! I don't know who designed this paper but WOW, it's beautiful!

Today, Shawn went up to the Juniata River to go fishing.

He's been waiting to go and finally we have some nice weather to do so!

I'm just putzing around the house looking for something to do. I'm still giving my hands a nice long rest from cardmaking & stamping for now. I got a puzzle out the other day but never started it. Hope you have some fun plans for today!

Airplane Father's Day

 Hello & Happy Tuesday, Friends!

We have been having some lovely weather the past few days! I hope it continues because it helps to keep me motivated! Yesterday I got my chores finished, did some laundry & cooked supper so today I am thinking about pulling out my July 4th decorations atleast while I have the sunshine & energy! LOL Miss Bailee is doing great since Saturday so I really think it was the doggy treat that upset her belly because she hasn't had any since. 

I'm sharing another Father's Day card today. This one is a Fun Fold (Book Binding Card) that could also be used for a masculine birthday if you changed out the sentiment. It uses the Adventurous Sky bundle that retired in 2025. I haven't used it much since getting it. I really like the different prints & patterns in the DSP.

Card Details:

Stamps: Adventurous Sky (retired)
