Friday Focus – Die Cutting #2 (Simon Mothers & Fathers Release Blog Hop)

Happy Friday, all!

Today I am not only continuing my Friday Focus Die Cutting video miniseries, but I’m also taking part in the Simon Says Stamp Mothers & Fathers Release Blog Hop! Lots of fun new stamps, dies, and stencils to play with for you Mother’s Day and Father’s Day cards!

For the release, I designed two stamp sets: Mother’s Day and Father’s Day…

As for my card for today, I got to play with the Star Parade die and the Father’s Day stamp set. To make the card masculine, I used Dark Chocolate cardstock and gold embossing.
