Measure Once, Cut Twice ?

I know, I know....it should be Measure Twice, Cut Once! But I never said I was handy!! Here is another Doggone Stamp that I think would be great for a guy's birthday card, or Father's Day card!

The sketch for this card is from the Paper Craft Planet Doggone Stamps group weekly sketch that you can find here! If you have any Doggone Stamps, or just want to hang with some great people, check out this group! It is very very active and lots of fun! Nancy and Brian from Doggone Stamps are there all the time, so you can give them suggestions for stamps and get some sneak peeks or hints of what's to come!

Since I did not have little stamps for the background, and really wanted to mimic a layout from Sandra's blog that she recently did for Hanna Stamps. So, off to clipart land I went! I created a page of (free) clipart from Microsoft and printed it off. Sandra's card is gorgeous....check it out!

The card is square, so each little tool is about 1 1/4" square as well. For the inside of the card (you can see it peeking out above) i just layered white cardstock on some scraps from this great paper I have called Smarty Pants from SEI (I think). I only have a little of it left so I make good use of it!
