Can this set get any more masculine?  I didn’t think so.  I have to admit, I bought this stamp set entirely for these three stamps.  Which is a bit excessive, but I loved them so much it didn’t matter.  The rest of the set is super as well, but these are my favorites.

I know this has a Father’s Day look to it, but that isn’t who I had in mind when I made them.  Actually, it was my husband.  I did learn a lot from my dad, but when it comes to working with tools, that would be my husband.  He has taught me so much and is endlessly patient with my questions.  So fun.

I kept these pretty darn simple.  I did like how when I put the sentiment on point they reminded me of caution signs.  I wanted the tangerine tango more narrow to match the narrow background boarder, so I tried something out.  After I cut out the tangerine tango square, I put it back on the cutting plate, and put the framelit on again but shifted it up at a diagonal.  So I was cutting an L shape away.  It worked out the first time.  I could have done more to match the 1/8th” boarder, but went with it.

I used some dimensionals on the almost artichoke one and left the tangerine tango flat.  Just some variety there.  Of course I had to stamp on the inside and distress it all the way around.  Tools aren’t tidy after all.

Have a creative day!
