This Father’s Day card is ideal for the sophisticated dad. Simple geometric shapes glued onto a dramatic freeform swirl design are elegant, but fun. A stamped sentiment completes the card.

A Birthday Present from My Little Niece

Isn’t this cute? My five year old niece made it for me as a surprise. Note the use of the rose stamp and the different background effects. She told me she’s going to be an artist when she grows up and I said I think she’s already an artist.
