Batty Fry Boxes

Hello and welcome back.....

I have been having a lot of fun making boxes, the Fry Box Die and the Curvy Keepsake Die have certainly had a lot of use and I hope they never retire them.......ever!
Today I have some Batty Fry Boxes to share with you, you may remember I made some cute/scary little Halloween Cards last year... Well I made some more and the little bats I made using the Bitty Butterfly punch gave me an idea...

Instead of making bags of treats I thought I would make Bat Boxes using the Fry Box....

I cut out the boxes using the Fry Box Die and Basic Black Cardstock and assembled them...

Then to make the wings I lay the box on a piece of scrap and drew a Bat shaped wing on the paper. I cut it out and used it as a template to cut out the wings in Basic Black card. Then I scored across and concertina folded the wing to give it a bit of movement and adhered it to the back of the box.

I cut out some eyes using the wing from the Bird Builder Punch. (see previous post HERE for details) then I attached them to the front of the box...

I filled some bags with popcorn and popped them in the boxes. I am going to make these for the Trick or Treaters that come a Knocking on my door...but filled with Horribo... oops I mean Haribo...lol

Well I hope you like my little Bat Boxes, thanks for stopping by...

Garden Visitors

Hello and welcome back...

I was inspired to make this card from this...

I love watching the birds in my garden and I had a real treat when two Gold Finches have started to visit, I am so glad I persevered with the Nyger Seed...

I have used the Chevron Border Punch to create the little bird house roof and the Banner Triple Punch for the house. Then added 1/16" circle for the perch and 1/8" circle for the entrance to the bird house.

The little bird is from the Tree Builder Punch as is the tiny yellow flower, the leaves climbing up the post are from the Bird Builder Punch. The branch has been cut out with my cutting machine and then stamped with the Stamp Set A Sheltering Tree...

The sentiment is from the Stamp Set Remembering Your Birthday....

So there we have it, a cute little garden scene......

Hope you like my little garden scene, thanks for stopping by.....
