First things first: Dad, if you’re reading, act surprised when you get this in the mail, deal?
There is a brand new release out today from Simon Says Stamp called Celebrate You, and I’m sharing a card project made with one of my new CZ Design releases called Parental Props.
The stamps feature a very minimal typeface and the dot stamps at the bottom can be used to create your own patterns for backgrounds that you can stamp or stamp and color using markers or other color mediums. I created this set not simply to be a standalone Mother’s or Father’s Day stamp set, but to be all all-purpose gratitude for your parents kind of set.
Because sometimes—okay, maybe more than sometimes—it’s good to say thank you and I love you. I’m so grateful I still have my parents around to say thank you to! They have and continue to help me in so many ways.
Today’s card video shows how to create a simple rainbow frame using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I’m kind of on a Zig kick right now after doing this card project a few days back. Here is the video showing you how I created the Dad card:
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Please check back tomorrow, as I’ll be participating in a Celebrate You blog hop featuring lots of creative ideas using products from the new release. I can’t wait to see what other card makers do with this set! If you use any of my products and share on social media, please tag me—@czdesign—because I love to see what you are making.
I also have a handful of other new releases out today! Click on each image to see more info in the Simon Says Stamp store! I’ve got a few birthday products because that is the type of card I need to make the most!

Love your cards. What a great stamp set for parents. I would like to see some ideas with the lines of circles at the bottom. They look super interesting. Thanks for sharing with us.

Yes! I will try to do something with those. I had an idea to use them for creating simple patterns!

Hi, Cathy: I love the cards for Mom & Dad.
Any chance some of these will turn up at Designer Digitals for scrapping? I’d love the Happy Birthday designs to use on photos.
Cathy Zielske says
Possibly! I can turn my stamp designs into digital stamps so… i’ll try to have those ready for next week! stay tuned!

I love your cards. My Mom and Dad passed away this year but that stamp set would be incredible for anyone by just removing the Mom and Dad! The more thanks we can give, the better.
