guys night

Click image to enlarge

Designer: Stacey Kingman 

It’s a fine line...we want to give the guys a special, fun night out together, but we know they don’t want anything cute or crafty or girlish invading their “guys only” time. I used old boxes and leftover rub-ons to make these invitations and signs. Hopefully, these details will make the guys feel special, while remembering that this party is all about them!

Instructions (Print version)

Invitation:
1. Cut cardboard box to 6” X 5” and fold in half. Drag scissor edge along cardboard edge to give a rough, distressed appearance. Score the card ¾” below fold. Staple at the top.
2. Apply rub-on letters to patterned paper, leaving plenty of space to cut the letters out ransom-style.
3. Adhere cut out letters using the glue wand on the Tool Taxi.
4. For the inside, cut patterned paper to 4 ½” X 4 ½” and stamp “who, what, when, and where” and fill in information by hand. Adhere.

Buckets:
1. Cut cardboard to desired size. I made a fold-over card for the drinks bucket and a stick-on card for the popcorn bucket.
2. Repeat procedure for rub-ons, cutting and adhering letters.
3. Tie twine on handles and fold card over it.
4. Use Foam Adhesive for smaller bucket.
