It's Bloghop time with the ISS Design Team

Today we are hopping along the InStyle Stamps Design Team for Father's Day inspiration. We've just started with the awesome and talented Angela and now it's my turn.

My project today is a card using one of the fabulous Day in the Life images that are about the most amazing stamps out there! It's called Father and Kid.


If you take a peek behind the card you'll see that it is a self standing card.



And if you're really curious you can open the flaps to see the secret message. Gotcha! There's nothing written yet.



Okay, I hope you've enjoyed your HOP STOP here at Rain Puddles Design and now it's time to head on over to Raquel for her fabulous project.

Remember to go through the whole blog hop and then go back to the very beginning to vote for your favorite project. I know it's going to be hard to pick just one favorite but I know you can do it! {wink}

UPDATE: I've made up a template for the self-standing card. Hope you are inspired to use it.


Details:
Card Size: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches
Stamps: Father and Kid, Digital created sentiment
Paper: Neenah Smooth White, Kraft
Ink: LaserJet, Prismacolor Markers and Pencils (I'll spare you all the very long list of what I used.)Accessories: Hodge Podge Hardware Brads, Cuttlebug Forest Branches EF, Chromacrylic Burnt Umber and Warm Red on frame

Let's Celebrate Plain Jane Style!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
