SASSY SALUTATIONS meets NEED FOR SPEED

With 9 grandsons and plenty of young boys at church who keep having birthdays, there is always a  need for quick and easy cards at our house.  Today's card uses both current and retired stamp sets; and like yesterday's, is single layer and water-colored. 

To make this card, I used Note Cards & Envelopes; Sassy Salutations, Gorgeous Grunge, Need for Speed (ret.) stamp sets; Island Indigo, Sahara Sand, Real Red classic ink pads; Stazon Jet Black ink pad; Blender Pens (to add layers of color on the car).

Thanks for taking a peek at my card; hope it inspires you to create a card or two for the guys in your life.

Happy weekend!

BY THE TIDE

Here in the Midwest, like much of the country, we are in the midst of a massive winter storm; another is expected in just a few days; with a possible 3rd one on its heels. Schools closed, businesses are letting people go home early, and so we hunker down to weather it out. (pun intended!)

Meanwhile it is a perfect time to whip up some hot cocoa and spend a little time downstairs in the craft room.  Today's card looks forward to the milder conditions of June and Father's Day.

It's a pretty straight-forward card, nice and easy, so I will just list the supplies I used:

stamps:  By the Tide, Teeny Tiny Wishes
ink:  Basic Gray
cs:  Very Vanilla, Basic Black
etc:  1-1/4" & 1-3/8" square punches, Stampin' Dimensionals, Snail adhesive

Time to check what on what's happening outside and get some more cocoa.

Keep warm and keep on stamping!
