Hello, Sweet Friends! Today we are featuring many of the masculine stamp sets at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamp Store with a "Let's Hear It For The Boys" Blog Hop. With Father's Day being just a couple of weeks away, the Design Divas have decided to pay special tribute to the special men in our lives…both young and old. Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps has so many fabulous stamp sets that are perfect for creating those challenging masculine cards that we need…and stamp sets that you would not think of as masculine, but can be made so depending on the colors and design used.

Let's Hear It For The Boys!
Here is the card I made in memory of my father:
Here is the card I made in memory of my father:
Creative Nugget: My father has been gone for twenty-one years now and I still can't go to the beach without thinking of him. He loved the ocean, loved catching and eating crabs, and LOVED deep sea fishing…so this one is in memory of my dad! I enjoy creating scenes on cards so the Wish You Were Here and Happy Ocean Friends stamp sets were perfect for making my beach side-step card. The background for the card was sponged and the elements of the scene were colored with Copic Markers. The "DAD" sentiment is from the Super Dad stamp set and the Beach Dies, the Clouds & Raindrops Dies, and the Banner Dies were also used to complete this card.
Here are the stamps and dies currently available at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store that were used to create my tribute to Dad:
This card will also be entered in the following challenges:

My dad's been gone for two years now and I never would have thought of making a card for him anyway! :) It's hard when they go, they are missed so much. I love your design, and I'm sure your father sees it and is so proud of you.
