Today, I am spotlighting a simple stamp available from Denami Designs stamps. It’s a perfect stamp for Father’s Day and the design of this card is easy to recreate with minimal supplies!
This “Father” stamp is a large one, measuring in at 1 1/2″ x 3 3/4″
For the design of this card, I mimicked a design that I recently saw. I don’t know the designer of the card, but as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to recreate it!
To make the hanger, I ransacked my jewelry-making stash and found some 18-gauge wire. Using a pair of jewelry-making pliers, I shaped the wire into a little hanger.
For the “ties” I just cut out tie shaped for a few strips of patterned paper. Easy enough.
As much as I love this hanger, I am NOT a fan of wire hangers. They leave nasty shoulder puckers on my shirts and a heinous crease in my pants. They sag in the middle and….well…you get the point. Suffice it to say: Joan Crawford and I share the same opinion of wire hangers.
For the sake of crafting though…I can handle a wire hanger.
Uber brilliant! Love it!
Awesome CAS design Amber, love it:)

really cute!
What a super cute design Amber! LOVE that little hanger, and I have to agree wire ones have no room in my closet. They are in one word, evil.
LOVE THIS!!!!!!!
Adorable card, Amber! And I’m with you on the wire hanger hate – I banished them from my home years ago!
You seem young to know who Joan Crawford is. However, I do agree with you, wire hangers are only good for opening a car door.
I love your card. I have been thinking of making a tie card for my dad.
NO WIRE HANGERS IN THE CLOSET!!!! I literally snorted when I read your post. (behind on reading, sorry for two comments back-to-back) However, I didn’t snort when I saw your card. It’s totally faboo!! I’m needing to make a couple of Father’s Day cards and I really like this one! I may CASE it! 🙂
So cute – this will be great for my son’s birthday too as he has a tie thing! One for my inspiration folder and Pinterest – hope you don’t mind Amber!
