Burr! It's cold baby... :( This morning we woke up to frost in the area. I'm glad I covered my plants!!I've been working on a couple Father's Day cards and came up with these using my Frames with a Flourish set... this set is on the SU! retired list! Plus you know how much I like my Top Note die!!

I found some DP that worked perfectly with Not Quite Navy, Garden Green and River Rock. Happy Father's day is gold embossed on both cards. I added some VERY LARGE gold brads in the corners... I must have gotten them at a office shop a while back. Then doing some paper pierced around the Top Note. I used my CuttleBug to emboss my Metallic Bronze cardstock with the Tiny Mosaic pattern to give a masculine feel. The photo doesn't show the metallic look very well, try clicking on the photo for a closer look! .JPG)
Here I stamped my top and bottom designs with Craft Chocolate Chip and clear embossed. Both cards have a sophisticated look... Enjoy!Now off to hang my curtain panels in our spare bedroom... can't wait to see the results!!
Have a super day my stampin' friends!! Remember to stamp and SMILE today... he! Thanks for poppin' in! :)
Smiles... Michelle :)

It's cold here, too! Doesn't seem like June weather at all.
Your cards are so great! I really love argyle for men's cards, and I love how you stamped on the dp on the second one.
Oooh, nice masculine cards!! Love 'em both! :-)
Amazing! How do you think of so many great cards and layouts?
Wowww Michelle,what a beautiful cards,l love the papers and colours.
Hugs Riet.x
Michelle, I just LOVE these!! Gorgeous cards and lovely layouts on them both!! You did the top note with an outstanding job!! I'm always looking for masculine style!! ;) Sorry it's so cold over there!! It's chilly here in IL, but not enough for frost! OUCH!
Hi, Michelle! I love your latest creations! The bronze card stock looks great. ( FYI - Did you know that it has a black core and it looks fabulous when you tear it?)
I will see you soon!
Love your top note cards, so cool.
I am really beginning to love my top note too! Your cards are very 'hansom!' They are very elegant as well. I might have to borrow the split top note idea for a father's day card of my own!
Fabulous Father's Day Cards - you've done it again!!! I just love to visit and see what new things you've been up to - you always amaze with your talent!!
xXx and hugs
Love these masculine cards. The embossing and piercing really stand out and the gold sentiment looks very rich.
Michelle, Very nice cards. I love the brown textured paper. They are both very masculine cards. Great job:)
Awesome cards, Michelle! Love that chocolate embossing---very elegant & rich! Yum, it's making me hungry! CHOCOLATEEEEEEE!!!!
Wow! Awesome Father's Day cards Michelle! I think houndstooth and plaids are just perfect for masculine cards. I did click to take a closer look and man do they look great! I love the choc chip designs on the top and bottom. Very nice:))
FAbulous cards Michelle! You always show me new ways to use stamp sets I tend to avoid. Now I have to dig out Frames with a Flourish...you've inspired me!
WOW these are terrific...perfect masculine cards!
You definitely rock that Top Notes die!!! I love both cards, but I think the second one is my favorite. I like the way you did the swirl above and below the greeting. Nice touch using gold embossing for the lettering...and those ginormous brads. Very cool!
We had the strangest weather today... thunder storms and lightening and some rain. Crazy! We rarely see that out here. Paul and the kids and I found it rather fascinating, but I guess the lightening started some fires, and killed a woman in a nearby town when the tree she was standing under was struck and fell on her. Sad. It will probably be humid here tomorrow.
My jammies are calling for me, so off I go.
Big hugs and smiles to my very talented and creative friend!

Such classy haberdashery, Michelle. Love it!
These are perfect Father's Day cards Michelle. Love them both

Great cards! Love your color selections. Especially like the one with the added texture. Great job!
WOW - Michelle - these are fabulous Father's Day card!!! Love them both!!! Sooooo elegant and yet very masculine :)!!! Hugs ~S~
These do have a very "country club" feel to them with the argyle paper, flourishes and brads. Great guy cards.
