Whew! Now that all the important business of this hop is taken care of, let's get to the creations! (All products used will be listed at the end of this post.)
I used the Best Dad Stamp set for my first two cards. A simple, shaded background, stamped with lots of different images from the set and an added sentiment, make for a quick and easy card!
For the second one, I also used the coordinating die set. These images are so fun to color and cut out! Then you just add them to your card base to create an adorable, little scene!
My third and fourth cards had to have some flowers because we can't forget about the mom's out there! This next one uses Altenew's, Forever and Always stamp set and I loved doing a bit of water coloring with this beautiful stamp! I used my Zig Markers.
For my last card, I used the gorgeous, Happy Bloom stamp set but colored the images with Copic Markers this time. Red roses are the perfect way to celebrate mom!
That's it for me - I hope you enjoyed my cards! The next stop on the hop is the talented, Nina Marie!
Thanks for stopping by! ♥

Beautiful cards and I love the mother's day cards with the florals. So pretty.
Nice cards. Liked the second Father's Day and the first Mother's Day cards the best.
Very nice card. I really like the Mother's day one.
You colored those flowers beautifully.
Lovely cards Barb! Love the flowercard with banner!
How lovely is this "endless love" item on your card :) Pretty cards :)
Your cards are fabulous, Barb! I love the last Mother's Day card the best.

Beautiful cards. The Mother's Day cards are breathtaking.
Just so beautiful!
Lovely design work!
Great cards! Love the red roses - ahhh, perfection! Thanks for warring your creativity with us!
All 4 cards are great but of course I gravitate towards the Mom cards, because, hello... flowers! And so beautifully colored! Dad cards are always hard for me every year as there is no stamp set that really matches either my Dad or my hubby's personality! I usually make something geometric and use a simple sentiment, or draw or create the designs I want! :-)
Awesome cards!
Great cards-love them all!

Fabulous set of creations! The floral ones are so gorgeous!! <3
Beautiful coloring with the Forever and Always stamp set. This one is a favorite of mine, well actually it's hard to choose, there are so many great ones from Altenew. I only wish their customer service was better - I placed an order back in February and am still waiting for the replacement items (stamps and a dry ink) that were never shipped to me. I have even received another of my orders in the meantime. :(
Fantastic cards! Your masculine cards are great and your flowers are so beautifully colored
Really striking cards, Barb! Your Father's Day cards are perfect and I love how you colored both Mother's Day cards! I'm sure the recipients are really going to appreciate all the love you put into your creations!!!

I love my zig watercolors and am always glad to see new stamps to use them. Love the cards.
Simply beautiful. These are all very elegant and just great for the card drive. I particularly like how you put the shading behind the bouquet in the 3rd card. It just helps the whole thing pop. Thanks for sharing and for supporting such a wonderful cause!
