MM101 - Birthday packaging

December is upon us and only 24 more days to get ready for Christmas!  With Christmas brings lots of gift giving so I'll be featuring a variety of packaging ideas throughout the month.

Today for "Manly Monday" I've created a birthday package!  To start I pulled together a bunch of items that I thought might work for a gift tag on my decorative bag.

And using a sample I liked on page 145 of the catalogue for reference, I love the result!

I used:

• @SoSocial stamp set
• The Open Sea stamp set
• Gold Soiree Specialty DSP
• Flashback DSP
• Under The Tree Specialty DSP
• Beach House washi tape
• Watercolour Wonder washi tape
• Baker's Twine
• Antique Brads
• Mini Metallic clothespins
• Wooden Elements

I hope you enjoyed my idea for masculine packaging today on "Manly Monday"!

Enjoy your week,

MM90 - For all Things....

If you are one of the many admirers of the stamp set "Work of Art", then you're going to love the new "For All Things" stamp set in the Holiday catalogue.   It has that same 'watercolour' style to the images.

Today's card for "Manly Monday" uses only the 'wheat' image with the Faux Wax Seal technique.   

Of course my BIG SHOT was used to embossed the background layer and cut out the leaves, especially making it easier to use this technique on a large piece of cardstock.

I also used:

• colour combo of Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Soft Suede
• "For All Things" stamp set (w-135152,c-135155)
• "@SoSocial" stamp set (w-134189,c-134192)
• Color Me Autumn DSP (135820)
• Woodgrain embossing folder (127821)
• Autumn wooden elements (135846)
• linen thread, rhinestones

Have a super week and thanks for checking out "Manly Monday" today!
