Nailed It for Father’s Day

I know Mother's Day is coming up this weekend but today I wanted to share a great Father's Day idea.  The Nailed It stamp set has limited time left — it's retiring at the end of this month so you need to get it ordered right away.  Unfortunately the coordinating framelits are already sold out but the images are easy to "fussy" cut with your Paper Snips.
Nailed It Frame
Isn't this just adorable for that handy man Dad or Grandpa.
Or for that matter, change the colors and Moms and Grandmas would love it to.
Just add that special picture and you are ready to go.

Project Tips:
* Base — Thick Whisper White – 8" x 8"
stamp random tools with Black ink
add splotches from Gorgeous Grunge (so sad this is retiring too)
* Urban Underground designer paper — 4" x 4" or using Black cardstock
this is your picture mat
* Basic Grey — stamp saw with Black ink — cut out
* Black — 2" x 2"
* Delightful Dijon — 1 3/4" x 1 3/4"

I just love this adorable frame — team member Katie Campbell designed this one.

It is a very versatile bundle.  This card was perfect for our weather yesterday — bright blue skies with white fluffy clouds and a nice breeze to blow those hot air balloons around.
