Hot Chocolate Season

I hope everyone is having a happy Thanksgiving. I took a little time to be crafty today. I had this idea in mind and wanted to share. It's another "matchbook" card. My inspiration for the layout is from the Deconstructed Sketch 128.

There's Snowman Like U

I love snowmen and this is one of my favorite sentiments when using a snowman on a card. I had lots of fun making this card and using this image from Birdie Brown.

Not Another Card

Sometimes I want to make something other than a card. I like making the step cards and different shapes but I wonder sometimes is the recipient understands the folds or shapes. I decided to make a "matchbook" card with a surprise inside. It took some trial and error but I'm happy with what I came up with.

I could have just as easily added a packet of hot chocolate. I think the sentiment will be perfect for the Winter season.

It's All Good

For me, making masculine cards is a challenge because there aren't many masculine digital images that I'm attracted to. I've had this image for a while and when Paulette at Create with TLC offered this free sentiment, things in my brain just clicked. 

The image is from Kenny K and papers are from my stash. I'd venture to say they are probably Paper Pizzaz. The mini brads are from Paper Studios while the sentiment die-cut is a "stitched ticket die" from My Creative Time. The burlap fabric was still lurking around my craft table from a previous project. I wanted to add yet another element and scrounged through my "junk" to find some "masculine looking." The "single die (dice)" fit the bill. I'm entering this card into the following challenge:
