It's SO hard to craft presents for guys sometimes. This is a quick and simple way to make something a little goofy but fun for the man in your life. WARNING - this post is predicated on both you liking to cook for hubby, and him liking your cooking *wink*
I printed off a bunch of coupons I made in Microsoft Publisher. I think there is 16 total. Shanan loves brunch in the weekends and baking anytime - so I've included all his favs. Rather than stamping the coupons (I said this was a quick project) I decorated them very simply with a little piece of Urban Garden DP in the margin. The coupons are perforated using the little tool on the Cutter Kit.
I've used the Crop-a-Dile to punch holes through the coupons and cover and put it all together with a couple of rings. I've used more Urban Garden DP, crimping some with my underused but loved Crimper. I used the Wild West Alphabet to stamp the sentiment. The stamping on the medallion is a stamp from the Wanted set.
Shanan loved this! There are SO many things you could do with a gift like this. It's school holidays here in NZ at the moment, and this would be perfect for outings or activities to do with kids.
