 The special stamp set we have for you this month is:

"You Are an Angel"

 The mini stamp set we have for you this month is

"Wings"
                                                      

Today's set is perfect for any Dad in your life, especially if they love cars.  Its called "Classic Dad"

Since Father's Day is right around the corner I decided to make Father's Day cards.  Even so I love that there are lots of different sentiments to choose from in this set.  My husband and I have three dads between the two of us, which is lucky since there are three car images.  Here is what I came up with:

I decided to make gift card holders since our fathers are stereotypically hard to buy for, lol.  I decided to keep things fairly tonal (I think white and dark brown on kraft is the perfect combination), but I couldn't resist a pop of red on the white card.  I also couldn't resist the jute twine.  I was all set to use bakers twine in colours to match each card but in the end I decided that was too busy against the crackle background.  The crackle background is one of my favourites and it comes from a set that came out way back in October called Cracked Hello.  Click here to see my orignal post with that set.  

If you are enjoying these sets we are showing this week visit the Mark's Finest Papers store to get some for yourself.  In addition to these stamps they have lots of great sets along with tons of card making and crafting supplies.  

But, the fun is not over! Now that you've had a look at my contribution, you should hop over to the rest of the DT and see what they've come up with.  The MFP Senior DT is a very creative bunch and you won't be disappointed!  

 

While today is the last day of the hop, I'll have another post for you tomorrow with more Father's Day fun.  Of course on Saturdays fellow Senior DT teammate MariLynn and I try to offer you some cardmaking inspiration on MFP Speedy TV, and tomorrow its my turn to offer some new inspiration that I hope you will enjoy.  You can find my post here on my blog, or on the columns tab at MFP Speedy TV. I hope to see you then! :)
