It was Willow the cat's 4th birthday at the beginning of the week so of course I had to make a card for her! Like most cats she is in love with cardboard boxes; any size, shape, colour, if we have a box it is soon hers lol! Of course I decided that I had to make a box card for her, which even if I say so myself, turned out super cute. There are a few extra photos today as it was really difficult to capture everything. I hope you like it too.
Here is my box card:
A closer look at the cute kitty image:
Some extra views to capture the details:
I tried to make my own Amazon logo lol!
Here is the crazy kitty which was my inspiration:
I used a die to cut out the box using kraft card as I wanted it to look like cardboard. The die has a beautiful decorative edge to the flaps but I didn't want that look for this project so simply trimmed that part off with my paper trimmer. I used double sided tape to secure my box together. I also die cut 2 of the inside pieces of the box from kraft which supports the box plus allows you to arrange your images and fill up the box. I stamped all the images onto alcohol marker friendly card, coloured them with Promarkers and then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I die cut the letters to spell her name and also the number 4 x 4 times from white card and stacked them up using liquid glue. I originally was going to put some of the smaller images onto acetate and secure them higher for some extra interest but I didn't really like it so cut the acetate off except for the fish which is still raised a little higher. I arranged the images where I wanted and adhered them with liquid glue. I added the name and number onto the front of the box and also added a birthday sentiment onto the front flap. At the last moment, for a bit of fun, I attempted to draw my own Amazon logo on the side of the box; it's not perfect but it made me chuckle lol! I think it turned out super cute.
I would like to enter my box card into the following challenges:
