Do you ever feel like you need and want to make a simple card? That is how I felt today and I knew that would work perfectly for a Father's day card using the Best Dad Ever stamp set from Stampin' Up! I particulary like the sentiments in this set.
Black and white fit my mood and the card. Usually guys prefer simple cards with few embellishments. This card fits that criteria to a tie – oops, I mean to a tee. A red brad from the Brights Designer Brads adds a splash of color and it draws the eye toward the sentiment. I scored around the popped up image, but it does not show up well in the picture.
The Simply Score Scoring Tool with the Simply Scored Diagonal Plate make it easy to whip up a matching envelope. The retiring Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack provided a nice choice for the paper for my envelope. The striped pattern fits in with the stripe on the first tie.
This set makes it easy to create a quick and easy masculine card for just about any occassion. But, if you want it, get it now because it is retiring at the end of this month. The following image is from Stampin' Up! Best Dad Ever 120399 wood, 120681 clear

This card is simple but elegant. I found myself going back and looking several times. I like this card a lot.
Nice card! Simple but elegant!
This is the best tie card I have seen just perfect. Thank you for showing me.
Awesome, Ginger! I love the red “tie tack”!
Perfect! Wish the guys in my life wore ties! I also love the splash of red.
