Happy Father’s Day!

Published by at 4:07 pm under Tex's Tips,The Stamps of Life

Here’s wishing a Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s & Dad’s-t0-be out there!   Even though my precious Dad has been in Heaven for 19 years, I can promise each of you out there that ‘the love lives on’.        😉

No more hankies, now.     Here’s a jar full of sweetness for Father’s Day!

Someone near & dear to me loves to buy jars of sour ball candies.  So naturally, this seems like a very appropriate Father’s Day greeting!    I customized the candy colors easily, as the candy stamps are in 2 parts:  the wrapper + the colored candy.   Tex’s Tip:  Just a little basic masking allowed me to place candies visually ‘in front’ of one another. The candy ‘wrappers’ are glossed on the ends with a glaze pen for some shine & dimension.     I usually eat the green candies, but it looks like I might have left my ‘wrapper evidence’ on the card …. uh-ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Hope you’re enjoying a wonderful weekend out there!   {{{Hug}}} someone close to you, and savor the day!

Psssssssssssst! Please check back on the 20th for a fun blog hop (blog POP?) … and more!     😉
