I embossed several of this thank you stamp, all with different color embossing powders. I think the pink and green washi tapes go well with the verdigris sentiment.

Of course I stashed some cards in her suitcase. For the times that Skype and Facebook messaging were not quite tactile enough.
Most of the cards contain an image or paper that she has gifted me.
This is one of the cards I made for my Dad. I was so excited when this idea popped into my head, and that I was able to execute the design.
My Dad is not really represented by the images available from the stamp industry. He is not into nautical, the great outdoors, cars, jets or trains. He LOVES sports (baseball being #1), he loves jokes, he loves chocolate, AND he loves his family. He still plays softball and basketball at 83.
I thought about what he would be doing on Father’s Day…watching baseball.
I found a Baltimore Oriole logo online (hey, for personal use here, to make an old guy smile), and printed it on white cardstock. I then stamped the TV over the logo, and on a separate piece of woodgrain paper. I cut the woodgrain image to use the cabinet part of the TV for paper piecing. The white cardstock with the TV got die cut with a large tag die, and I colored the wall a light blue/green, and added a piece of background paper for the flooring. And I just kept adding layers of Baltimore Oriole team colors.
I searched Google Images for “Baltimore Orioles logo”, and found one that had the resolution I needed to be able to print it. The image was from the Official Site of the Baltimore Orioles.
