DT Day - Connie Can Crop - Skunk Gift Box

Today is my day to show off what I made with my file from this month's sponsor Treasure Box Designs.

 

They have some really cute SVG's, but I just had to use this cute skunk gift box.

 



 

When my son was young I was a sewer, I did tons of sewing and one day when he was napping I decided to give a stuffed animal pattern I had on hand a try. The only one I had the correct colors for was the skunk so I whipped up a stuffed skunk.

 

When David woke up from his nap and saw the skunk sitting on the edge of the table he grabbed him, named him, "Mr. Skunk" and never let go of him. It became a bit of a family joke embarrassing his older brother and sister to no end.

 

I'm going to visit David and his beautiful wife Miki in April, they live in Tokyo (NO....I'm not a BIT excited about this new adventure in my life I've been to Canada, Mexico and the Bahamas but never overseas) I am going to buy some Arizona instant lottery tickets to tuck into the skunk box and give to David when I arrive in Tokyo.

 

 

This little guy was super easy to cut and assemble. The file is a girl skunk but I switched a couple of things around and made a male skunk. I used blue papers instead of pink and left off the little piece for the hair and the pink flower.

 

Come and join in this month's fun over at Connie Can Crop for our Anything Goes Challenge. This month's prize is from Treasure Box Designs.

 

DT Day With PaperCrafting World

Hi, Sue from Sue's Paper Crafts with you today showing off my newest project made using an SVG file from this month's sponsor PaperCrafting World. 

 



I decided to stick with this month's challenge theme:

 

My card started life as a shopping bag. My son and his wife gave me something in this bag and I held on to in hopes of someday finding the perfect project to make with it.

 

I choose PaperCrafting World's, "Card Circle Cut Out" SVG to work with.

 



 

The only changes I made to my cut file were to ungroup the file and put each layer onto it's own page.

 

I did make a couple of changes to the embellishments, the file comes with a vine and flowers to go on the vine but my, "happy birthday" stamp is too big to use that vine so I added a few jewel flowers instead. I made a belly band and bow with scraps from making the card.

 

Don't forget about this month's challenge at Connie Can Crop please come and join in the FUN!!
