CIU #201 - Boys Will Be Boys

Hello and happy Friday, hello weekend.  Today’s project share is my design team project for the  Cut it Up challenge blog.  The theme for this challenge is Boys Will Be Boys and  our sponsor is Digital Delights by Louby Lou.  

I always struggle with male themed cards and this one was no exception.  I knew that I wanted to use the digital papers supplied by the sponsor but  wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. So I just decided to pull out an embossing folder and some Tim Holtz metal gears from my stash.  I used the digital paper for the tag and a Cardz TV stamp for the sentiment,

Now that you’ve seen my project I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration.  Create and share your male themed project that includes a die for a chance to win $5 gift certificate from our sponsor.  The challenge starts today and ends Wednesday,  June 10, 2020 at noon EST.

Thank You Hero
