For my projects today I decided to go really clean and simple.
For my first card I wanted to show that this new Father's Day Mini set can be used for more than Father's Day cards.
 I stamped the striped tie onto some plaid lavender paper, fussy cut it and added to a little baby shirt that I cut. I added two little brads for snaps, and added a sentiment from Bold Sentiments I.

Next, I made an actual Father's Day card. I stamped all three ties onto the same plaid paper, cut them and adhered to my white card base. 
  I double-stamped the sentiment by first stamping in a lavender ink and then (after cleaning the stamp first!) restamped it in black slightly moving my placement so the lavender looks like a shadow.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to leave a comment for your chance to win some prizes!

I always love when you can use one stamp set for something totally different! Thanks for thinking outside the box and sharing with us.

That was so clever to use the tie for the baby card. Totally adorable!! For some reason, I never see lavendar baby cards--I love how yours looks! The tie card is fab--the shadowing in purple is such a cool effect.

The tie on the onesie card is adorable! Great idea! And I love the ties used on an actual father's day card too - those ties are fabulous! Love the shadow idea with the lavender and black ink - it looks awesome!
