The other day I saw the funniest little Thanksgiving bib and we picked it up for my guy's grandson's 1st Thanksgiving. You can't just send the bib, you have to send along a card so I made him a box card on a smaller scale.
Here's a side view:
The other side view:
For anyone who has made a card in a box before, this one is a little smaller here are the measurements:
Turkey, "Gobble, Gobble" and pumpkins cut from Cricut's Create a Critter cartridge.
Sentiment from a stamp set I have had for a few years from My Craft Spot's, "Happy Thanksgiving" set.
Scrolled bling is from Zva Creative.
Other bling from Imaginisce.
Little birds from Plum Purdy.
Leaves are a McGill punch.
I am entering this card into these challenges:

Robyn's Fetisch Challenge - 342 - Anything For Thanksgiving
DL Art - 192

ReplyDeleteI love this box! I, of course, will never ever make one because I have a firm commitment to avoiding anything requiring more than one fold! But I just love seeing these boxes crafters make! They are always so intriguing and beautiful to look at! I love the wobbly turkey lurkey! Plus I have to say - that saying on the bib - so true! Thanks for showing off this incredible card in a box! Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber!
