ICS BLOG HOP-GUYS NIGHT OUT!

It's finally summer weather here in New England!!! And time for another Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop!!! 

We are focusing on the guys this month! Anything masculine! I decided to go with a Father's Day card! I know it's a bit early for Father's Day, but I figured I'd get that done before I was up the night before creating it! lol Last-Minute-Lucy! That's me!

So here's mine:

The colors are somejwhat non-traditional! That's ok, so is my husband! lol  But I really wanted to feature some of the new items I have from the brand new Annual Catalog that went live TODAY!!!! Such exciting news! Already placed a second order!!! I hope this card wins the hubby's affection because once he sees the bill...!!! lol

So, what's new here? A couple of things.  First, theres the absolutely gorgeous Affectionately Yours Specialty DSP!  I.  Love.  This.  Paper!!!! The colors are so bold & bright! And as you can see, work for her or for him! 

Second new item is the Thoughtful Banners stamp set with the 

Duet Banners Punch. Comes in a bundle-which means SAVINGS!!!  I have a feeling this may be my new go-to set! There are so many different words in the stamp set! It's apropos for just about any occasion! And the punch makes it look so much fancier! I like to double it up like I did here. Totally not necessary though. Just the single would've been awesome!

"Oldie-but-goodies" here include the Brick Wall Embossing Folder, a Bow Paper Clip Embellishment, and the Basic Pearl Jewels.  The design is old-school! It just came to mind! lol Thought it was cute,

So hope you enjoyed this month's card! It's "dude-ish"!!! Now hop on over to Terri's  over at territerbear's stamp & scrap spot & see what great design she has for you! Then keep hopping until you get back to where you started! Everyone loves it when you leave a little note!

Happy Stampin'!
