My Creative Time - Manly Monday

 Welcome to another Manly Mondays

at My Creative Time

I think it is always a little bit more work
to come up with something cute for a guy, 

but with the help of My Creative Time it isn't that hard.

And you know me, I always try to stretch those dies
So when I was going through all the beautiful dies,

I saw the envelop and I thought.....

Vest!

So with a little adjustment it just came out 

way to cute more than I could imagine

And by using real buttons who happened to

be in the same color as my cardstock (YAY)

Tip:
How I create the pocket on the vest,
I used the negative piece from the Rainbow Dies

Supplies I used

Cute Card Dies 
(cut a bit off to make it 11 cm/4 3/8 inch  long)

Cute Card Envelop Die
Happy Rainbow Dies (to make the pocket) 

Rainbow Sentiments

Mini Bow Dies

More Sentiment Strip Dies

  Welcome to another Manly Mondays

at My Creative Time

I think it is always a little bit more work
to come up with something cute for a guy, 

but with the help of My Creative Time it isn't that hard.

So my husband loves stroopwafels! You might have heard of them

According to Dutch culinary folklore,
stroopwafels were first made in Gouda 
either during the late 18th century or the early
19th century by bakers repurposing
scraps and crumbs by sweetening them with syrup.

One story ascribes the invention of the stroopwafel
 to the baker Gerard Kamphuisen,
which would date the first stroopwafels from
somewhere between 1810,
the year he opened his bakery, and 1840, t
he year of the oldest known recipe for syrup waffles. 

Stroopwafels were not found outside Gouda until 1870,
by which point the city was home to around 100 syrup-waffle bakers.

After 1870 stroopwafels began to appear in other cities
and in the 20th century,
factory-made stroopwafels were introduced.
By 1960, there were 17 factories in Gouda alone,
of which four are still open.
Today, stroopwafels are sold at markets,
by street vendors and in supermarkets.

Since 2016 United Airlines has been serving stroopwafels
as a breakfast snack on its domestic flights.

So I got a package of 2 stroopwafels and made
a cute bellyband around it

I love it !!!

This is what I made

Supplies I used:

Belly Band Dies MCT-D114 cut twice and cut the orange one in half to make a border

Pretty Treat Topper (revised) MCT-D192-1

Stitched Lollipop Holder Die MCT-D08-1 to make the stroopwafels

ABC Dies MCT-D266
