Here's how I used the Mustaches die:

I made a Father's Day card and treat jar. First, I started with a simple card. I die-cut the Mustaches dies out of new Treasure Map papers. They make me chuckle. :) The stamp is from the Daddy Yo stamp set, which will be released in May.

Here's a close-up:

I used the dies for a treat container, too:

I layered the Treasure Map papers and on the map paper, I stamped the "DAD" sentiment from the Daddy Yo set. For the top, I added some photo prop mustaches. My kids are going to go nuts with these! They were already playing with some of the leftover die cuts. My daughter is having a detective party in a few weeks, and she's already asked me to make some mustaches for the party to use for mug shots. ;) 

On the rosettes, I used the Pinked Circles dies. Here's a close-up:

Thanks for stopping by! Next up is my sweet and very talented friend Kalyn!
