I needed to make some cards for Father's Day - and today's Ways to Use it challenge requires chipboard as an element. I don't have chipboard, so I cut the letters twice - once out of a thin piece of cardboard from a box, and once from a piece of a cracker box. I glued them together, then placed them on circles (cs) made with a Cuttlebug die. There is not much contrast, but it is a look I thought would work for a man. When I attached them to the piece of hemp I added small pieces of cardboard on either side of the hemp, for stability (Roxie's idea). I am not sure it can be seen, but the striped paper has embossed dots (cuttlebug).
Edited: I just noticed - there is a matching knot on the right hand side - got cut off in the scan!

Very nice, I like how you used your cuttlebug on the designer paper.
