Well. We did it again! Made it thru a whole week and here we are on the last day before a weekend! AND – it’s my husband Wayne’s birthday today! Whoo-hoo!
I did another Sneak Peek for you today – are you getting tired of those yet? 🙂 This one uses one of the several masculine-dad-husband oriented stamp sets in the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, called A Good Man. And I paired it with a little of my favorite woodgrain design from the Floral Romance Specialty DSP. Take a look-see:
The layout for this one comes from this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
…And I used colors from the Sunday Stamps color challenge, too!
I started with a piece of the woodgrain paper from the Floral Romance Specialty DSP (which is going away with the end of the 2019 Occasions Catalog – so get some (more!) of this gorgeous paper soon!). Using my Stamparatus, I stamped the sweet image from the new A Good Man stamp set (coming in the new catalog on 4 June – or 2 May if you’re a demonstrator!) in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Again with the Stamparatus, I stamped the first sentiment from A Good Man in Mossy Meadow next to the image.
Then I double matted the panel on Blackberry Bliss and Mossy Meadow for the card front.
I used my Journaling Pen to add “stitches” around the edge of the panel.
On a strip of the woodgrain Floral Romance Specialty DSP, I added another A Good Man sentiment in Blackberry Bliss. Then I snipped banner ends, added faux “stitches” with the Journaling Pen, and popped it on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I tied a double-loop Billie-Bow with new Mossy Meadow Linen Thread (part of the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack – coming on 4 Jun). I adhered a Bird Ballad Trinket (yep, coming in the new Annual Catalog) with a Glue Dot, then added my bow with a second Glue Dot. And the card front was done!
On the inside, I used the marker-to-rubber inking technique and my Stamparatus to add another sentiment from A Good Man in Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss (two “good”) on Sahara Sand. Then I stamped a final sentiment in Mossy Meadow. I used new Terracotta Tile ink and, stamping off twice, stamped the heart from A Good Man a couple of times. Finally, I added more Journaling Pen faux “stitches”.
I used Liquid Glue to mat the panel on Blackberry Bliss and Mossy Meadow, then into my Terracotta Tile card base (4 June), popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got another of the A Good Man images (in Tuxedo Black) and a couple of hearts (in stamped-off-once Terracotta Tile) on the front…
…and a little more Floral Romance Specialty DSP, with a stamped-off-once Terracotta Tile heart, on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! I love love love the A Good Man stamp set so much! The sentiments and images are simply…perfect! Hope you like!
A Good Man should be available just in time for all your Father’s Day card needs! You could for SURE get it in time if you sign up to join the team right on 2 May! You’d be able to pick this one as part of your Starter kit. Give me a shout if that sounds like a plan to you!

What an awesome card Mary! Stamping on the woodgrain is perfect with these images, love the sentiments too. 🙂
Thanks – I really love this stamp set! 🙂
Nice card. Probably won’t get that set. It is nice, but I don’t see me using it enough to warrant the purchase. Can’t say the same for MANY others in the new catty!!! Happy Birthday to Wayne!!
Thanks, Julie! It’s a really cool set! And – I’ll pass your b-day wishes to him! 🙂
Perfect. Would surely have chosen it for MY Daddy!
I know – me, too! Thanks, Mom! 🙂
Your stitching is phenomenal! I, like Julie, will probably not get this set but I was definitely loved by my Daddy. Happy birthday to Wayne and I only wish you could be baking a cake for him! Have a great weekend.
I’m sure HE is, too! Thanks very much, Karen! 🙂
Wow, such a subtle use of our colors – looks amazing! This seems like a great set coming up! Thanks so much for playing at Sunday Stamps!
It has wonderful sentiments!! Thanks so much, Heather – appreciate you stopping by! 🙂
That set is amazing, and although I don’t have any male relatives senior to me any more, I do have sons, so I think I’ll be getting it..
And BTW…today is my birthday, too. Wayne and I are lucky Tauruses or whatever!!! LOL Wish him a happy day for me.
Tauruses? Taurusi? Taurapotumus-i? Happy Birthday, Kathy! 🙂 And yes – great set for young men. You’ll definitely want it! Thanks much!
Great masculine card! Love how you incorporated our colors! The “hand” stitching is a great touch. Thanks for sharing with us at SUNDAY STAMPS
Thanks, Melissa – appreciate you stopping by! 🙂
