And of the swirls. These are awesome, the strips of glue that hold them together are strong enough that when you take them off of the backing they stay together and hold their shape. I also cut pieces out of one and had the same outcome! Love ‘em!!

Dog Days of Summer

Today is my day to show you my creation for our Dog Days of Summer challenge at Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central. I think we all pretty much struggled with what does Dog Days of Summer mean? Well, here is my interpretation.

009 copy (Small)_thumb[1]

I chose to use Edwin waiting for fish as my image. To me he is the perfect depiction of Dog Days of Summer.

I used the following materials:

010 copy (Small)_thumb[1]

Here’s a close up of Edwin

012 copy (Small)_thumb[1]

And the crackle paint

011 copy (Small)_thumb[1]

Card/Gift Box

I made a new card and gift box. The thing is it is a card and gift box in one. I’m not really sure what to call it though --- is it a Card Gift Box? A Gift Box Card? A Gift Card Box? Decisions, decisions, decisions.
So, the idea came to me because I have been making hair bows, as well as adding the bows to my cards, using the Brilliant Bow Maker Classic Kit. I wanted to do a card and make a box for the hair bows. Tada! Why not make one? So, here is what I came up with. I still have to do some refining but it turned out exactly how I thought about it.
001 copy (Small)
So, here is the front of the card/box. I chose to use one of my Sugar Nellie images. She’s brushing her hair so I thought it was perfect for the hair bows.
002 copy (Small)
I used a McGill butterfly punch and punched one in yellow and orange and then added Ranger Stickles.
003 copy (Small)
Here is a close up of my image. I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Cryogen White Cardstock and then colored her with Copics.
004 copy (Small)
I added a orange carnation, roses, and leaves (another McGill punch).
005 copy (Small)
Here is a side profile of the card box. I used my Scor-pal to make this and assembled it with Scor-tape.
006 copy (Small)
Here is the inside. For my circles I used Spellbinders Big Scallop Circles Large and Spellbinders Big Scallop Circles small. The sentiment is a JustRite Stamper sentiment.
007 copy (Small)
I placed the hair bows on a removable piece of cardstock.
008 copy (Small)
Well, what do you think? Would love to know what you would call this. I'll post the instructions in a few days for those that would like to make one. I want to refine it some, it has a few little kinks that I need to work out!

Thanks for stopping by!
