3D Man Shirt Bday Bag

Doodle Pantry Challenge for July is Make a Splash or Christmas Theme. Click here to enter challenge. Click here to see my Partridge in a Pear Tree Scrapbook Layout.

Made this 3D Man Shirt Birthday bag using Cricut cartridge Artiste. When I saw that I had this striped 2 sided cardstock I knew I wanted to use it for this.  Used some mini sticky dots so it can stay closed, be opened & closed again. Stamped Docerela birthday sentiment using new ink, Memento Luxe Nautical Blue, that my friend, Susan, told me about. This ink stamps nice & crisp. Added twine.

Bag is 5" and just the right size for a box of men's cologne.

Football Bday Have a Ball Card

I use to be a big fan of football when Dan Marino was QB of the Miami Dolphins. Before that Bob Griese was QB of the Miami Dolphins and the team was Super Bowl champs. I watch football sometimes & I watch the Super Bowl.

Made this Birthday Card using Sports Mania Cricut cartridge. Got the idea to use ribbon to lace the football up like a real football looks. Threading the ribbon thru the slots was not easy. Threading the 2nd part of the ribbon was even harder.

Stamped sentiment with 2 different stamps.

Supplies List 



Cricut cartridge: Sports Mania 3" Football Frame
ink: Memento Rich Cocoa
machine: Cricut
paper:  cardstock - brown, tan, white
