May 2020 Seashore Stampers' Blog Hop - Father's Day or Male Card


Happy hello and welcome to the Seashore Stampers' May 2020 Blog hop!

This month's theme is Father's Day or a male card/project and I am going to share with you my card that comes together really quite quickly.  

Front of Card

Also, by using whatever greeting you wish to use, you create your own special project for the special male in your life.

I used the Mountain Air stamp and die bundle from Stampin' Up! to make this card.

The inside was super easy to stamp too!
