Happy Birthday...{Manly Monday}

Good morning everyone!

It is my day to share on the MCT blog with todays Manly Monday post!

Making manly projects is always hard  but I have a fun and cute gift card idea to share that surely fits the bill.

Take a look and let me know what you think....

My son celebrated his 20th birthday this past weekend and I wanted to make something to hold an "extra" birthday present in.

The Gift Card Tag Dies are awesome for adding money or a gift card and attaching it to a gift which is exactly what I did.

I used some pretty plaid designer paper from my stash and added the birthday sentiment using the Gift Card Greetings set.

To add alittle extra detail, I die cut some stars in matching cardstock and the Star Rosette Die set to pop up onto the front of the gift card.

Some black twine and of course filled with some cash and this was ready for my birthday boy!

MCT 106th New Release Sneak Day 2

Good morning everyone and welcome to Day 2 of sneaks for the 

106th New Release from My Creative Time!

Today the DT is showcasing another GREAT die sets that again you are going to LOVE!!!

Introducing the

Tall Fancy Frame Dies  

Take a look at my inspiration and let me know what you think.. 

For my project today I made a shaker card.

I used the Tall Frame Die and Tall Frame Die Layer for the base of my card and the top layer. To make my shaker window, I used the new Tall Fancy Frame Dies which fit perfectly inside my base layer.

Once the frame for my shaker was all die cut, I added an acetate window, filled the shaker with beads and stars and added the back piece of white cardstock to hold everything in place.

Before adding the white backing, I did stamp the sentiment from the Belly Band set as well as added some trees from the Christmas Tree Tag Die.

A few stars from the Star Rosette Die completed my holiday shaker

You are not going to want to miss a thing!

For my inspiration I made a Santa sweet treat! 

I used the adorable Santa Hat Topper, die cut in red and white cardstock. I stamped the "happy holidays" sentiment onto the hat using the new Gift Card Greetings. Next using the Star Rosette Die, I cut the circle in white cardstock to use as a tag and the star in green cardstock to add to the Santa hat.

With some Christmas twine I added the tag to the bottom of my hat topper. I also stamped the tag with the "to" and "from" on the front and back of the tag.

Finally I filled a treat bag with some peppermint kisses and added the topper to the treats.

A sweet treat for that someone special!
