Sorry the day has escaped me! All this editing stuff can be time consuming! I’ve had this project done for a bit, I just didn’t get everything completed in time! Good grief.

Today I have a super simple, masculine project for you all, using the Boxed Lunch template ©

I call it Packed with love!

One thing I know my hubby loves is a variety of these trail mix packets you can get at Target! He keeps them at his desk to snack on. I’m always buying him a variety to try out, and this time I wanted to package some up in a cute way, so I made this for him to take to work!

It has been mentioned by just about everyone seeing this template, that not only can it be a lunch box, but a suit case too! Father’s day is just round the corner, so why not turn it into a briefcase or a suitcase?

I took some simple chocolate gingham ribbon to dress mine up

I wanted to keep it simple and un-frilly, so I used Oat cardstock as my base, and of course chocolate for my lid!

I chose to create a masculine pattern using one of my FAVE sets: Argyle Amazement! It truly makes the most amazing backgrounds! So many building options. I was able to easily create this pattern for my main focus. I then used the sentiment from Lunch Box Love Notes © for my tag. I was going to use a tag from the All Tied Up! collection, but kept it SIMPLE for now!

What you CAN’T see is the double score line on either side, next to the argyle.

How about that hardware? I used an actual lunch box latch, and a paint-can handle for this! I just wanted to share some additional ideas, other than the cardstock handle that this comes with. Not that the cardstock handle isn’t FABULOUS on its own! But you know how much I love versatility!

Now these treats fit perfectly inside!

Isn’t that a sweet way to send your hubby off with something delicious?!

I think so 😀

All the Pretty Packaging templates can dress up the simplest most inexpensive gifts! These packs cost ONLY $1.00 at Target! So I think I see some masculine teacher gift sets for the end of the school year!
