Creative Juice: Happy Birthday Matt!

Sunday, January 5, 2014

Yesterday was my hubby's birthday! I made him a card based on the January tag of Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of 2014. I also made the tag version of it (love those gears!) I resolve to do a better job of getting each montly tag done. I think I only got two or three done last year. Oops!

I kept them pretty close to Tim's original. I only had to substitute a few things. Check out the link for a complete tutorial on how to make the tag. It is lots of fun and of course I love all the gears and metal foil. It makes for an appropriately manly card don't you think? ;-)

Most of the supplies I used to create this project can be found at Inspiration Emporium. Follow the links below and use my code JUICE to save 10% if you go shopping. Thanks and happy New Years!
