Crafty Catz DT - Anything but a Card

Good morning lovely crafters of blogland,

How is everyone today? I hope you've had a good week! Friday can only mean one thing on my little space of the web and that is a new challenge over at Crafty Catz. This weeks challenge has been set by the fabulous Sassy who wants to see you make anything but a card this week.

Our sponsors are the fabulous Crimson Cloud who are once more offering our lucky winner 3 packs of die cuts:

 

This weeks challenge allowed me the perfect opportunity to do a project that I've had on my pinterest board for a while:

Isn't this just the cutest little gift box? I found this adorable owl, who is called Sophie by the way, on this fabulous website. It is a completely free template to download for personal use.

I tweaked the template slightly as I don't have a scalloped circle punch or die and I didn't have any buttons suitable for the eyes, but pretty much it's a straight copy from the template.

I used up scraps of card and papers for this project. It uses almost a full A4 sheet of cardstock but the rest of it is perfect for all those odd bits of paper we crafters refuse to throw away. The only addition to the project I made was a little heart button on top of a flower which matched the colour theme perfectly and I felt just finished the design.

I would also like to enter this into Cupcake Challenges this week, who also have the theme of anything but a card.

So that's it for this week. Thanks for stopping by and until next time - happy crafting!
