Pre-Historic Pal

Good morning friends~  Just thought I'd pop in and share a cutie little card and two heart shaped boxes that I made for my sweet little grands.  

First up is this pre-historic dinosaur from Marianne Designs. 

 I used a Tim Holtz embossing plate for the background.  It made me think of dinosaur scales.  I used Altenew's Alphabet dies for the letters.

This card paired perfectly with the little heart shaped box I made using Concord & 9th Heart Box Die.  The image is one that I found online and printed.  I didn't plan this, but once I put the two creations together, I realized how perfectly they went together.  

I added some green Stickles to the dinosaur.  Super cute!  Little Bam-Bam and his pet dinosaur Dino.  ;0)

The second box uses another free printable I found online.  My sweet P loves kitty cats so I thought she was just purr-fect!  

She's glitzed up with a generous dose of Silk Microfine Glitter from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  Just look at that face!  💗💗💗

Both boxes are super simple but so sweet.  Now the question is what to put in them??  What would you put in for two little ones just over a year old?

I can't share the card I made for my Sweet P because it's coming up in a future post.  You'll have to stop back by soon!

Thanks for stopping by!

Dinosaur Birthday Box Card

Hey friends~  I have a fun box card today, that I made for one of my great little nieces, who currently loves dinosaurs.

I was inspired by my creative friend Lena of Lena's Creations card that you can find HERE.  I set out to recreate a card that was very similar to hers, but as you can see, it turned out completely different.  

To start with, I didn't have the same T-Rex dinosaur that Lena had, but I had this dinosaur die from Marianne Designs.  Lena's background was a combination of Silhouette cut files, which I could have purchased, but as I was contemplating the project, I decided to make my own box card using the dies I already had on hand.

There's space on the back of the card, where I'll write our birthday wish for my sweet little 5 year old great niece.

The mushrooms are from Sizzix designed by Tim Holtz.  To my shame, I've had these for well over a year and have never used them.  I was delighted to discover that the elongated Happy Birthday die cut from Spellbinders fit perfectly onto the front of the card.  

I just love how we can be inspired by each other and once creativity takes a hold, our projects are the same but different.  I do hope you'll pop over to Lena's blog and have a look at her amazing project.

Thanks for stopping by!
