Box of frogs

Good Morning everyone, i hope you all had a good weekend.

This box card came about as i was wondering what to do with little strips of acetate, its actually my first ever box card.   Its ideal for my niece Alice's 6th birthday tomorrow.

I found a template on pinterest to make the base of my box card from A4 dark blue pearl card, i cut and matted papers from a gorgeous paper pad from the works onto all the sides.  I used a floral on the base and then a swimming pool paper for the rest.  I kind of had the thought the frogs left the garden and having fun in the pool to cool off in the summer heat😁  We often find frogs hopping around my mums garden, she has a little pond that they love.

The frogs are from an old daisytrail digi kit which i printed at various sizes onto 300gsm white card and cut them out.  I coated them in mod podge to stiffen them a bit to make them stand up better to alot of handling! I decided which ones i wanted to leap out the box and glued the acetate strips to the back of them and then glued the other end into the box.  I arranged all the rest on the flaps.  Computer printed sentiment to finish. 

I added touches of glitter glue to the frogs for a little bit of bling

and just showing how it all folds flat to fit in an envelope.

and card 2 for my parents to give Alice.  Alice has always had a fascination with feathers since she was a toddler and as you can imagine collected a vast amount living on a farm and all wildlife in the surrounding countryside😁  I decided to use these feathers ive had in my stash for eons.  It gets harder to come up with different ideas for them all 5 nieces.

6x6 White cardbase.  I matted a blue and green feather paper onto the front.   Computer printed sentiment die cut into a circle, layered with foam tape onto a larger white circle.  I die cut another circle which i glued the blue & green feathers onto with glue gel, i then added my sentiment topper on top.
