Hello, friends! Welcome to Sweet Stamp Shop's blog hop in honor of Nicole's dad whose birthday happens to be today!

Happy Birthday, Patrick!

To celebrate this momentous occasion, Nicole is offering a 20% discount off your total purchase when you enter code DAD20 at checkoout. How sweet is that? And free shipping, too! (Only to the US and Canada.) This birthday special is good from Thursday, September 15th thru Sunday, the 18th.

Also, how would you like a little taste of something "sweet" to add to your stamp collection? Leave a comment on my blog and all the blogs on the hop (there are only 9 total) between now and Sunday, the 18th, and we will draw the names of 2 lucky winners for ONE STAMP SET OF YOUR CHOICE! Winners will be announced here on Monday, September 19th.

I hope you arrived here from Lindsay's blog. If not, start at the beginning and hop your way through the design team's blogs for lots of sweet inspiration.

Here is the blog hop order. Don't forget to leave some sweet comments along the way--I know the DT will really appreciate them!

              Donna--you are here!


For my simple card dedicated to Patrick, I used the Sweet Tooth stamp set. I  just love that gumball machine!

The "Happy Birthday" was used from the Scootin' By stamp set.










I used a blue violet/green/orange color combo and colored all the images with Copics. The gumball machine was attached with dimensional adhesive.


I scribbled in the "guy" part of the sentiment, and although I've never met Patrick, I just know he's a sweet guy, since Nicole inherited his sweetness!

Remember to use the code DAD20 from now till Sunday for 20% off your total in the Sweet Stamp Shop store, along with FREE shipping to the US and Canada!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Your next stop is uber talented Savannah! I can't wait to see what she has in store for you. Happy hoppin' and shoppin'!

    with the colors you uses it definitely is a guy card. I was reminded of gumballs found in little boys denim pockets....nicely done.

    Donna, I love the blue gumball machine! I'd never have the guts to try any other color but red...sigh. I LOVE it! Did you cut out and attach the gumballs inside the machine, or do you stamp and mask? So sweet!

  31. Elizabeth AllanSeptember 16, 2011 at 5:56:00 AM HST

    You should go into creating fonts Donna. I couldn't believe you matched it perfectly to the other font designs in the set!! I agree, that gumball machine is sweet!

    so great! i totally thought the 'guy' was a stamp. you need to 'scribble' on your cards more often!

    I LOVE this card! It is so simple yet so elegant! You have really good handwriting, I thought you stamped "guy" I love the way you rounded the corners of your card, I am going to try that!
