When I saw the new set, Boys Will Be Boys for the first time, I was so excited to see a golfing image! I knew exactly what I wanted to make for Father's Day because my 2 brothers and my husband take my dad out for 18 holes every year. It's a tradition that has become something they all look forward to and I wanted to make him something fun for that event. My dad has always made his own boxes for his pens or for little items in his workshop - so how perfect would it be to make him a box? I know he'll truly apreciate it.
I found this
note card box tutorial by fellow Baker's Dozen gal, Laurie Schmidlin, on SplitcoastStampers, whic

h is the perfect size for a golf ball and tee. I added an insert to the box so I could hold the golf ball in place. I cut out a piece of Cosmo Cricut (Lil' Man) patterned paper from the
Father's Day Key Ingredients measuring 5-3/8" square and then scored it at 1" on every side. I cut out a circle with my
Nestabilities and then followed Laurie's directions for the lid cover. To keep the ball in place I added a glue dot on the bottom. I attached the golf tee to the ric rac with thread and added the little golf ball charm. I can't wait to give this to him!

OH, the best part is the sentiment "Hope your day is par-fect" - my dad is always saying things like that; little funny puns. Sometimes they are huge eye-rollers, but he has some funny ones too and this set reminds me of his funny moments. I used my spot

s and dots embossing folder on the metal sheet and I absolutely love the look and embosses like buttah! You can get both the metal charm assortment and metal sheets exclusively in the Boys Will Be Boys bundle, so don't let that get away.
The Father's Day Key Ingredients is one of my favorite kits so far - I love all of the colors; red, orange, and blue - so perfect for the men and boys in my life. And a ton of yum-o-licious buttons! It coordinates perfectly with the Boys Will Be Boys stamp set and you will have so much fun putting projects together with them.
