EXPLODING BOX CARD

This is the first time I've made one of these cards, and I absolutely loved it!  Once I'd done all the measurements and planning, it was really easy.

My papers are from the DCWV The Glitter Stack.  I used a KaiserCraft scalloped circle die and 2 Creative Dies Wonky Stitches dies.  The adorable monkeys, the name Shepherd and the number 1 were all cut on my Cameo.  The birthday stamp is Mudra.

I placed monkeys on two sides on the outside of the box:

This is the inside of the outer layer:

 I then cut a slightly smaller inner layer.  This is the outward facing surface of the inner layer:

 And the inward facing side of the inner layer:

The 'exploded' box:

And the lid:

If you haven't tried one of these, give it a go!  It's far easier than it looks!

Thanks so much for popping by to have a look!

PET LOVER'S CHRISTMAS 2017 10

Yes, this is the 10th pet focussed Christmas card I've made in the last 2 weeks or so!  

My papers for this card came from the docrafts Christmas with Wellington pack.  The Santa image is a Silhouette Print & Cut image, cut on my Cameo.  The star of the day is a Newton's Nook rubber stamped kitty, coloured with ProMarkers.  The fantastic paw-print ribbon is Offray.  The sentiment is a docrafts sticker, stuck onto a frame cut on the Cameo.  I have added a rim of gold Stickles for some Christmas sparkle.  

I made a huge mistake while waiting for the Stickles to dry.  I popped the sentiment stickers back into their plastic sleeve and put it down on top of the drying tag 😫!!!  It lifted and messed up the glitter, so it had to be redone - and treated with respect while it dried 😑.

Since these cards are all about our love for our furry owners, I thought I'd show you what I was dealing with, while trying to take these pics.  I normally take my card pics with the fantastic natural light coming through the windows in this particular room, with the card propped on a white chair.  This morning the light was changing a lot as clouds rolled past, so I thought I'd see how they came out, if I were to lay the card on the tiled floor.  CARD ON THE FLOOR = INVITATION TO BENTLEY, my precious furry boy.  I apologise for the extreme exposure in the pics, but I didn't want to miss the shot, wasting time setting up the camera. properly.

PET LOVER'S CHRISTMAS 2017 2

The recipient of this card has a Labrador and 2 Westies.  

My papers are from the Dovecraft Christmas Basics pack.  I have added a gorgeous paw print ribbon by Offray.  The circle and scalloped circle are KaiserCraft die cuts.  The tree is wood and I inked the edges.  I used a Tim Holtz stencil to lightly ink the circle (they're Christmassy words).

The Lab is a Cameo cut and the Westies were part of a freebie stamp set from a magazine a few years ago, so I'm not sure who the supplier is.  The same goes for the sentiment.

A few pearls in the corners finished the card off.

PET LOVER'S CHRISTMAS 2017 1

I need to produce a series of Christmas cards for pet lovers.  I generally keep these quite simple, without my usual excessive embellishing.  We'll see how I go!

This card was almost entirely created with Silhouette images, cut on my Cameo.  My paper is from the KaiserCraft Base Coat pack.  The little wreath is actually a mini Christmas tree decoration - I just cut the string off.
