Hello and welcome to a BRAND NEW MONTH! The 1st of the month marks our Diva Inspirations Hop with all the Inspiration Diva's! This is totally their show, but I'm sneakin' in cause I love to play along with those sweet and talented girls;) There's a $30 Verve gift certificate up for grabs to a random commenter along the hop, so be sure to give a little love as you hop around. The master hop list is at the bottom of this post.
Our Stamp of the Month (or should I say STAMPS of the month!) for June are American Hero and Dad's Day! You can buy these sets for 40% off retail all month long! Perfect timing what with Father's Day and Independence Day right around the corner;)
I inked up my favorite Independence Day set called "American Hero" today for this card and used Julee's Mojo Monday sketch for the week! That sketch is a little tougher than I thought it would be, lol! I had a hard time getting those pieces to fit together and they still don't fit perfectly but you can't see that part, right?;)
I also made a card using Dad's Day!
I pulled out my Pyrus papers from Basic Gray for this card, and even a little corrugated chipboard circle (made from an actual box, no money was spent on that circle, lol!) I must admit, I got the idea for this card after parusing Maile Belles blog. I kinda have a stamp crush on her, lol! Her eye for design is A*MAZING and I just loved THIS CARD that she did!
