Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday!!I have a fun little project to share with you today! I made this super cute coupon book for my husband for his Birthday, which happens to Valentine's Day!!!
Our brother in law calls Chris a "Man's Man", so I decided to make him some "Man" coupons to add to his gift!
For my coupon book, I used the brand new Coupon Book Download from Taylored Expressions which totally ROCKS!! It's super easy to use...download and print...it doesn't get easier!I printed out the sheet of coupons (they come three to a page...one each of three different designs but I only used two of the designs in my book) onto Choice Buttercream Cardstock.
I created three of each of the coupons for my coupon book, so I have a total of 9 coupons for my hubby! For my first coupon, I stamped this SUPER adorable new scene from Cuppie Love Scenes in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored the entire in Copic Markers. This coupon is for "a delicious meal made by me (or a restaurant)". I crack myself up!!
For my second card, I thought I would give Chris coupons for "a night out with the boys"...perhaps I should have just put one of these in the coupon book huh? For this coupon I used this darling mug from Chillax.
I colored the mug and the hearts with Copic Markers and I also stamped "Cheers", also from Chillax, next to the mug!
For my final coupon, I stamped this FABULOUS tool belt from Boys Will Be Boys and colored it with Copic Markers. I used my Clear Spica Glitter Pen to add some accents to the hammer, screwdrivers and pliers. This coupon is for "one (1) afternoon of uninterrupted 'guy' time (grrr)". Chris can spend HOURS in the garage putzing around, so I thought I would make it a luxury...not a necessity, to be able to do so! (cracking myself up again over here!).
The patterned paper that I used on the cover of my coupon book is from Lil' Man Collection by Cosmo Cricket, and the sentiment on the front, "Just For You" is from Beary Special. I attached the coupon book together with three screw brads, and I LOVE how they tie into my Man's Man theme!!
This was a SUPER fun and SUPER easy project! I hope I have inspired you to create your own coupon book!!
Thanks so much for stopping by!!
