I had this fab die from Taylored Expressions to use and thought it would make a great focal point for the bag.The papers are also from Taylored Expressions.I stamped the Jingle Bells stamp twice on the tag,so it says Jingle Bells,Jingle Bells,Jingle All The Way........................

And of course it wouldn't be complete without some actual jingle bells that I attached with some twine.

The bow was made using my WRMK Envelope Punch Board.

Well after saying I rarely make male cards unless I really have to,I've made a few in the last few weeks.There was no getting away with it this week as the challenge was Just For Men (or boy in my case) 

I've used 3 stamps by Christy Croll for Stamping Bella.I bought these stamps years ago direct from Stamping Bella and have to admit this was my first time using them.I used my Stampin' Up Thing-a-ma-jig to line them up.I cut the robot card shape on my Cricut using the Robotz cartridge.The cogs in the robot's mouth are laser cut and coloured with my blue Wink Of Stella pen.
