On Saturday I hosted an event for my job and it involved golfing! I needed a "thank you note" to send to the golfers that came out to support the event!

I immediately thought of the Dapper Dad stamp set! Confession time…this is the first I have used it but will say – not the last… so get ready to see some great ideas using this super fun set!

I felt that the Perfectly Penned Stamp Set was a perfect choice to add to the golf shoe! Now you know what I am going to say…this simply could not be done without the Stamp-a-ma-jig! This silly little tool makes life so much easier but better than easier – it saves you a ton of time!

I knew that I needed to make many of these and I wanted to share with you how easy it is to do an assembly line process when making cards! Here are some tips that might be useful…

• I always take a piece of scrap paper to write down all dimensions and tips!
• I cut the base card (Crumb Cake for this card) and score in half.
• Pull out the Crumb Cake Envelopes and decide the liner I wanted to use….easy-peasy  – Neutrals Designer Series Paper!
• Make sure you ink pad has plenty of coverage…if not…use the refill as you continue to organize. ( you need to wait 10-15 minutes to settle in the ink pad)
• Go to your scraps 1st and see if you can utilize them before using a fresh sheet of paper!
• Cut the vertical pieces….stack them up in the colors per card!
• Run the vertical strips through the Big Shot using the Argyle Embossing Folder.
• Using the Stamp-a-ma-jig – prepare the clear sheet for doing your stamping.
• Stamp the shoe 1st….then follow up with the sentiment!
• When I made these…I did use a bit of snail on the back of each to hold it in place so the stamp-a-ma-jig would not wiggle!
• Drew a pencil line down the center of the card to place the center piece and then it was easy to "eyeball" the others!
• Adhere…pop it up with my Stampin' Vitamins – Stampin' Demensionals!

I personally think this is one fun and handsome card! Change the colors up for a more feminine feel….I think I am going to try it with a heat embossing technique! I can see a pink shoe!

On Wednesday is my monthly Breast Cancer card making fun time….we will make over 100 cards for the local "Angel Program"….sending a card and "pick me up" to those that are unfortunately going through some tough times! This is such a "feel good" evening!

Please leave me a comment or email me and let me know how you liked this card….sometimes it is hard to come up with an idea for a masculine theme…I think the colors set the stage for this card! I do say….I loved focusing and "picking up" the argyle from the show in the embossing folder! A great added touch!

Here's to a fabulous week….I am up for a busy one… but fun one…until tomorrow!!!!
