Foxy Little Thing

It is time to start thinking about fall, and the fun that goes with it. This time of the year is when I love sitting on the porch and watching my fur babies play with the falling leaves. So it is only fitting that there be a post about animals. 

Foxy Little Thing fit just perfect when thinking about fall fun. 

Supplies:
Hardwood stamp (133035) 
Soft Suede(126978) ink pad
Cajun Craze (126965)
Fox Builder Punch (141470)
Foxy Friends Stamp Set (141549)  Or BUNDLE TO SAVE (142326)
Very Vanilla card stock measuring 5 1/2 x 8 1/2; scored at 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Old Olive card stock measuring 5 1/4 x 3


-I stamped the hardwood stamp on very vanilla cards stock using the soft suede ink. For this I allow the hardwood stamp to bleed over on all side, even passing over the scored line.

-Using the  Foxy Friends stamp set I picked our 3 different fox faces. I wanted each one to look like he was peeking in. Each one was cut to 2 1/2 x 2 1/4.

- Now no card is finished until you have completed the inside. I punched a fox out of the Fox builder punch. Remember you need to punch 2 ears and 2 tips of his tail. After you fox is together, be sure to stamp his face and legs. (isn't he a cute lit guy). Stamp your tree stomp, and pop him on top.

-I wanted a sentiment to reflect my thoughts, was I used Pretty Kitty (141861) Just Peeking in to say Hello.

-Add some natural twine for texture and you have the perfect card for any occasion.


Of course the Foxy Builder Punch as just as many different uses as all our builder punches. Check out my other animal friends.

 

opps my monkey lost his tail.

Now if a fox is not your thing, you can use any of these animals to make the same card. And of course, would all be cute with birthday hats, Christmas hats, or bows on their ears. 

This is a small sample of some of the great things you can make with this set.

Shadow Box Frame.

Shadow Box Frame

The Shadow Box Frame is easy, fun and can be use in is so many ways.

Supplies:

1 - 12 x 12 Card stock (or you can use
            thick paper stock.)
1 - 9 3/4 x 9 3/4 heavy cards stock (great               
            place to use the cardboard that
            comes in the back of your DSP.)

1 - 7 1/4 x 7 1/4  Paper or Cards stock

1 - 7 x 7 Paper or cards stock


1-  6 3/4 x 6 3/4 cards stock.

Plus you will need your inside embellishments. Skies the limit.

First score your 12 x 12 card stock or thick paper at 1/2, 1 1/8, 2 3/8 and 3 on all 4 sides. Now with a pencil mark off blocks the 4 corners. In the example below you will cut off the "x" and the "T" will be a tag. Repeat in all 4 corners.

 _____________
XX            XX 
XT            TX


XT            TX
XX______XX

Next, make an "X" in the middle of your paper crossing over the first score line closes to the center. Using you straight edge, create a box around the center "X", large about 3 1/2 inches. Now cut on each line. When you are finished you will have 4  triangles, (do not discard). Fold on each of the score lines using your bone folder.

Fold your tag in and adhere to form all 4 corners.

Measure your 9 3/4 x 9 3/4 to be sure it is not too big. IF it is a tiny bit small that is okay, but if it is too big you need to trim it down now. Adhere the backing to the bottom, being sure the 1/2 inch scored section is folded to the inside.

Now let's work on the top side. Fold and adhere the inside pieces down. Be sure the inside edges are square. You can do this with any straight edge, just stand it up to be sure the inside flap is not pushed too far back or too far forward.



You are ready to embellish the inside of your frame.
