Tools:

Directions:
- On the scratch paper, and the 3.75” tag, begin blending some the Brushed Corduroy on the circle. Blend as little or as much as you’d like.
- Spray some of the clean water from the distress sprayer on the blended background. Let it set for just a second or so, and pick up the water with the paper towel. You’ll be left with a cute detail of spatters. If you want a deeper color, or more, repeat the steps until you like it.
- With the left over ink from the applicator, run some along the bottom edge of each of the STUD MUFFIN letters.
- Use the Glue Dots® Permanent Dots to stack the 3 shadows together for the sentiment.
- With the Glue Dots® Permanent Dots, glue each of the letters to the shadows. Lightly set them on their spot and once all the letters are set, press them down to really adhere them.
- Use the Glue Dots® Permanent Dots to add the blended/spattered background to the 4” layer. Add the stacked sentiment to the tag with Glue Dots® Permanent Dots.
- Loop some twine through the tag hold and trim off the excess. Put two of your muffins in the cellophane bag and tie it off with the curling ribbon. Tie the tag onto the bag.
- Tie a cute bow with the ribbon and trim the tails.
Super cute, super fast, and super yummy, too! Happy Father’s Day!
I began crafting in 1996 and simply fell in love with making my own cards. Long live snail mail! Crafting isn’t just a hobby for me, but a way of life… Teacher gifts, posters, scrapbooks, wood crafts? Yes, please! I have been married to my cute husband for 16 years and he definitely inspires me to try new things and enjoy the little things. As a stay home Mom, my time is spent raising my two girls, and raising the bar for my gift giving!
