The theme for this month's hop is Masculine and anything but a card.... the two things I struggle with :) But with a few cute things from Reverse Confetti, I pulled it off easily and even had a ball creating this fun little project!
If you're following along with the hop you should have come here from Stacey's blog. If you just happened by you can find the whole line up on the Reverse Confetti Blog!

For my project, I created a cute little birthday tote bag that you could give along with a gift to any aged guy! I think it would work great for men or boys!
I first cut out and put together the Tagged Tote. I used some patterned paper to cover the front. I cut the Tag Me die out with green car stock and adhered that to the tote with foam tape. I stamped a piece of white card stock with the So Stripey stamp set and cut it out with the same tag border, so that it would fit perfectly across my tag. I adhered that flat to the tag with glue. I then cut out the dark brown banner from Tag Me Confetti Cuts and adhered that to the tag. I stamped Birthday wishes from the Circle Sentiments stamp set onto the Scalloped Circle from Circles N' Scallops Confetti cuts, and mounted it onto the brown banner with foam tape. I stamped and cut out the greenery from Love Blooms stamp set and Confetti Cuts and added them with just a dab of glue to the lower portion of the scalloped circle. I added the button with and the bow at the top with glue dots.
Wouldn't that be perfect for a teenage boy! And there's a granola bar and a chocolate bar in there too! That granola bar will cancel out any of the unhealthiness of the chocolate. That's how I think anyway :) I love that little tote die! It goes together so quick and easy and it's cute! I also love that it has the die to cut out the rounded top piece that I have here in patterned paper. Makes decorating your little tote super easy!
Next stop on the hop will be Sarah Gough!
