You’re #1 & The Winners Of The Nautical Expedition Class

Happy Monday everyone!  I just got back from a three day business conference in Conneticut called the Continuity Summit 3 by Ryan Lee.   It was absolutely amazing, and I would say for me, definitely business-changing, possibly even life-changing.  My business coach John Sanpietro was there, as well as 10 fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators (well, I guess I should rather say, former fellow demos). 

Today I wanted to share with you all a quick and easy Father’s Day card I created, along with a more generic version of it which you can use as a congratulations card.  To switch it up for a girl, all you would have to do is to switch up the colors.

Supplies:

Stamps: Grunge Rock, Sanded Backround (Stampin’ Up!)
Ink: Early Espresso Classic Ink (Stampin’ Up!); Tea Stain Distress Ink (Ranger)
Paper: Early Espresso CS, Crumb Cake CS, Real Red CS, Pacific Point CS, Pacific Point DP (Stampin’ Up!)
Accessories: 1 3/4″ circle punch, 2 3/8″ scallop circle punch, Real Red Grosgrain ribbon, Billboard Sizzlit Decorative Strip die, Big Shot (Stampin’ Up!); Chit Chat Rub-ons (retired Stampin’ Up!); Janome Sew Mini (Janome); white sewing thread (other);

Oh, I was hoping you would do something with this set & paper – it is one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing. Perhaps this time, I might win:)

By the way, your puppy is so darn cute:)

I love this theme. It does have a masculine feel, but I live near the coast of Maine, USA-where I actually know female ship/boat owners and operators-so it wouldn’t have to be just for men. Thank you for all your hard work and for sharing such wonderful ideas with us. You are a true teacher at heart.

Beautiful cards Andrea, but I’ve come to expect that from you. You do great work. I would love to win the class by email and hold it for my customers. So glad you’ve solved your internet problems and it’s great to see you back. I miss you when you’re not “on” all the time.
Good luck with Ginger – anyone with a dog has gone through the puppy thing and one day she’ll learn how it works.
