I love love love this stamp set. I think the images they chose and they way the stamp (slightly distressed) are so perfect for man-cards.
I embossed the very vanilla paper with the Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plates. I cut two circles with my Big Shot (3.5" in the Occasions mini and the Clear Circle in the main IBC). The Wish Big stamp is from the "Bring on the Cake" stamp set.

Great card. It's great for a guy! Love the colors. Great texture and use of the shape punch.
Thanks for mentioning the size of the circle dies. I've been curious how big there are in real life - this gives me a great idea.

Trish- the two circles in the Occassions mini are 3" and 3.5". The clear circle in the main catalog is 3 5/8". I have the sizes of all the others if you want/need them!

I love this card....I got this set because it was a "must have" for me with not one, but two pilots in the family and now am finding all kinds of cool ways to use it. Might use this one for my Father's Day cards, except I don't have that DSP, wonder how goofy it would look to use French Script (or whatever the name is of the newest version) instead of the Newsprint
DSP? Oh well, I'll figure something out...maybe I can copy real newsprint onto Very Vanilla cardstock? I would probably only need one sheet....cards for each of our Dads plus one for my DH (and yes, I realize that he isn't my Dad but if you say, "who's your Daddy?" I think that's who I'd be pointing to....;-) )
