I hope you all had a great Mother’s Day!! I know I did. Amber did AMAZING at her dance recital!!! I was SOOOOOO proud of her. She looked adorable and knew every step. I’ll share photos soon. We spent the day doing all sorts of fun stuff. It was great.
Anywho…..
OK another day of PEEKS! YIPPEE!
If you like Stars, you are going to LOVE Star Prints!
I had so much fun with this set this month. What I TOTALLY love is the co-ordination of Star Prints with the punch 😀 I don’t like CUTTING stuff like that out, and having this quick & simple option is fabulous for me. Makes great star themed projects easy peasy.
Nichole had the girls all use Star Prints to create a variety of cards/gift ideas!
My Timeless Templates to the rescue 😀 I used my newest-to be released in the 15th-template Ready, Set, Wrap! (No worries you will see the next template tomorrow!! Trust me its worth the wait!! Im in love it :D)
Like always, I NEVER know what I am going to do until I get to work. I usually start with ONE idea and somehow that becomes obsolete, and turns into a totally different idea!
I WAS going to do a Teacher theme (I did do a teacher theme project-but that ended up being used for the Idea Book for the other template I am peeking tomorrow :D) then had a MALE family friend have a BIG birthday-he turned 40! So, my idea turned ended up changing, to be used to create this set, for the PERFECT (in my humble opinion) MALE gift set.
I am trying to make MORE male/boy themed stuff with my templates for you all to see! I know I so lack in creating for that group! Sorry, I just LOVE GIRLY!! But, hey, guys/boys need gifts too!
Me, LOVING gift giving, had a BLAST adding a masculine twist-so show you that ALL my templates REALLY are GENDER NEUTRAL!
The BIG 4-0! Set
Here is what I made him. Kept is clean, simple and FRILL FREE :O) That is easier said than done. I did add some bling STARS, but felt that was acceptable!
I used the Star Print with the numbers, and colored JUST the 4-0 RED for some POP! Lucky for me they were RIGHT next to each-other! YEAH!! Gotta love when things just work like that.
Here is the card
Crisp, clean and as I said FRILL free!
(the swirl is a little peeky at another set you will LOVE-coming out on the 15th)
Since it was the BIG 4-0, I thought the sentiment was perfect too.
Honestly my photographs took WAY longer than the MAKING of this gift set.
I had this DONE in 15 minutes!
The Ready, Set, Wrap! is my newest template! It is SO fast and EASY! You are going to LOVE it.
Making a card/gift box set has never been easier! I swear! I used the largest SU! oval punch for this one.
Now I made this literally one hour before the dinner. So my GIFT was bought ON THE RUN! I got him a $40 (because he was turning 40 :D) gift card to his favorite sporting goods store! Gift cards are ALWAYS the perfect option for me, especially for MEN!
So, I popped it inside here!
I have to admit stuffing in the filler wasn’t easy, without having pieces try to POP out of it! LOL! But it looked cool when you open it, so I made it work. My trick-pull out the pieces that pop out! LOL! OR snip them with scissors. This is the foil kind, not the paper-which is much easier to manage.
Supplies:
My Timeless Template: Ready, Set, Wrap!
Stamps: Star Prints, Fancy Flourishes
Cardstock: Pure Poppy, White, True Black
Ink: Black and a red marker
Punches: 2 inch circle, XL Twinkle Twinkle Star Punch by Fiskars
other: Adhesive Rhinestones
Be sure you check out the entire team for their gift ideas using this set and their choice of My Timeless Templates!
Tomorrow I will share the peek at my second template for this month!
HINT: Lets just say Lunch is the theme 😀 HAHAHAHAHA
I think you will all really be excited for it 😀 (Or I HOPE you will be.)
I’m loving it.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing my excitement. You all make my day:D
I also hope you like that more masculine stuff I will be sharing this release.
Till tomorrow :D)

Lauren-
Awesome Job! 🙂 I loved the idea and the project! 🙂 Thanks! 🙂
Can you hear me squeal from over here! This is sooooo perfect!
I’m lovin’ this template, the stars and the swirls!
Looking forward to seeing the “lunch” theme tomorrow. I have a feeling it’s going to be yummy!
Hugs!!!
Love it Lauren! The 4-0 works so well!
Woohoo! THis is so great! I love how the shred will pop out at the recipient and that this is a man gift. Hard to have ideas for crafting guy gifts and not making them to frilly. Can’t wait to see tomorrow’s template!!
Is this the brother with the baby? I love what you made, very clever—and I think that I like this template the best of all so far hehe
Fabulous idea! I love the popping out of the filler! It would be a winner for sure!
Great template (as always!) and a wonderful gift!! You are so thoughtful!
Lauren, I am loving this template as well as the lunch box one I saw on Nichole’s blog. WOOHOO!!!!! Way to go!
Great idea. I am always in the market for guy “looking” stuff. I have to admit that I will still do this template in pink also. LOL!! It would make a great favor for a birthday party. I can see lots of things to do with. Thanks.
SO fabulous – thanks for choosing to share a GUY idea with us – I think we can all do girly pretty easily but it’s harder to do guys – maybe cause they don’t GUSH over our work like the girls do. Love this template already.
Awesome!! Love this set Lauren — and that new template is FAB-O! Can’t wait to see the other one too 🙂
Glad you had a great Mother’s Day!! I did too — I’m a lucky mom!
Great job on the male thing Lauren! I love your templates! So much fun!
Really, really cute! The card was super and I do believe men like some ‘bling’ too.
As always…Lauren…YOU are amazing with your talent 🙂
absolutely awesome and loved seeing some masculine stuff….especially with father’s day quickly approaching…..
Fantastic male gift idea! I am always looking for something new to make it for a man.
FANTASTIC Lauren!! I am sure he loved it!!!
So LOVE all the sneaky peeks!!!
Have a GREAT day!
Great project! Yes…….male cards and projects are so hard to make. I have four grandsons, and it’s not as easy as making girly girl things. Love your projects and ideas, thanks so much for sharing all of your fabulous creations!
Lauren, another terrific project. Love your color combination.
I Love your templates this month! I’m excited to see your template tomorrow. Nichole’s project was awesome!
Lauren – this is STUNNING! You amaze me month-after-month with your talent and ability to WOW us with your projects! I will “try” to CASE this. I have purchased every one of your templates and I can’t wait to purchase the two you designed for this month – amazing! So glad Nichole gave a sneak peek at the other template – very cool!
So – thank you for sharing your jaw-dropping talent!
I know this sounds gushy, but…hey, that’s how I feel right now!

That is fantastic! Love that swirl, can’t wait to see what that is part of. That little template reminds me a super cute bowling ball bag. Oh I think I am going to CKC on Saturday YEA!!!! so I will talk to you more later in the week. -Molly B
I checked out the other blogs you suggested and I got to see the next template =) It’s adorable!!!! Absolutely LOVE your ideas you ARE one clever girl!
—Jacqui
What an awesome card and gift holder!! BTW, I showed a nonstamping friend of mine your blog and all she kept saying was “she’s gorgeous.” Thought I’d share the compliment!
Wow I love what you did with this – and wanted to let you know that I think this looks like a bowling ball bag – to give you another masculine idea! Can’t wait until all of the sets are released.
Awesome project!!! I am sooo getting those two sets-the star and flourish ones-this 15th! I am going to stay on computer and get it ASAP because I always end up having to wait because it ends up selling out before I get to buy the sets I want!
These are so cute! Great job! I love the crisp color combo!
Oh this little wrap is so cute! How DO you come up with these ideas? I’ll never figure that out! Great gift!
WHOW!!! That little “lunch box” template from Nichole
http://www.nicholeheady.typepad.com/ is absolutely fantabulous!!! I got have got to have to have both of these newbies…I can’t believe you keep coming up with these Lauren.
Is this the brother with the baby? I love what you made, very clever—and I think that I like this template the best of all so far.
Curious to determine what all you intellectuals need to say about this?-?-.
