The Craft's Meow - June Blog Hop!

Hello friends and welcome to the June blog hop with The Craft's Meow!  If you're here from Jennie's blog, you're in the right spot.  If not, head over to the TCM blog to get started!  
In honor of Father's Day, this month our theme is "masculine" and I had a ball making this birthday card using one of my absolute favorite stamp sets - "Chalkboard Birthday"!  I started off with a brown card base and then layered a panel of woodgrain paper that I edged with some brown ink.  I then layered a  transparency of some old-fashioned planes over the card and finished with a little folder that I stamped with one of the sentiments from the set.  
This shot shows the little folder open a bit with a gift card peeking out!  Yes, I've had that forever and wonder how much money was left unused after Borders went out of business, lol!  :)

So, on to the fun stuff - one lucky commenter will win a stamp set of their choice just for commenting!  The winner will be chosen from the comments left on all blogs including the store blog, so leave a little love on each blog to have the most chances to win!  The deadline for comments is 11:59 EST, Sunday June 9th and the winner will be announced Monday, June 10th.


Thanks so much for visiting today and now head over to Jessica's blog for more inspiration!

Supplies:  Stamps (TCM), DP/Transparency/Folder - Composition and Color collection (Webster's Pages), Ink - Basic Black (SU!), Tea Dye Duo (PTI), Cardstock - Chocolate Chip (SU!)
