This month we have creative guest Hoppers: Robyn Rasset, Kristal Bell, and Melanie Harrison Coverston
Let's get started with my projects for the hop. I googled and searched Pinterest for inspiration. A lot of animals come up using the Curvy Keepsake box, but since I used the for my project last month I didn't want to use it again.  But, my plan was to make a gift box into some sort of animal.   My 6 year old son happened to be in the room while I was trying to figure things out and really wanted to help me with this project. He has a friend from class with an upcoming birthday.  We decided to try to make a doggy box. He wants to put some treats and a gift card inside the box.

 I've been intimidated with the Hamburger die since I bought it. Just struggled with it each time I tried. Wasted alot of paper playing around with it, that it just got put aside and sort of forgotten. I was set on getting it to work right. I have an old big shot and for some reason it doesn't score very well on the dies. Which makes it harder to assemble. I figured out a slight wedge and it seem to work better and made the score lines more visible. Wish I thought of this a while ago. Because sadly the Hamburger Box is on the retired list boooo.

My son picked out the color Chocolate Chip, I had picked out Blushing Bride, since the gift was for a girl. "But MOM dogs aren't pink, you know?" Well how do I argue with that.

To make the dogs face on the box, we chose Chocolate Chip for the box base and dogs head. Blushing Bride for the tongue and Basic Black for the nose. And googly eyes!!!!  I used the Oval framelits for the ears and I believe it was 1 1/2 circle punch for the face and the Heart from the Itty Bitty Punch pack.
The tent card was simple to make. But it uses a 12x12 sheet of cardstock. I am sure the measurements can be adjust to just an  8 1/2x11 sheet.  The cardbase measures 4 1/4 x 11 1/2.  Score at 1", 2", 3" and 7 1/4". 

I used a circle thinlit to cut out the opening before assembling. I also cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock to 4x4 and stamped the OH Hello from the Back to Basics Alphabet set in Basic Black. I also, stamped and sponged the sun from the Kinda Eclectic set in Daffodil Delight and adhered with a dimensional.  

I folded the 7 1/4 score line backwards. Then I folded the 1, 2, 3 lines back and forth. This is the part that makes the card stand. The 1 inch score line becomes the back. You adhere the the back of the card to this section. So there is a slight seam. See pictures below.  I hope this makes sense.
 To make the dogs head for the card, I punched out 3 large ovals (cut 1 in half for the paws), 1- 1 1/2 inch circle, 2 - 1 inch circles, and 2 hearts from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack. I used google eyes again, but these are slightly smaller than the box.
I attached the dog to the outside edge of the circle, so he looks like he's popping off the card but peaking out as well, depends on the angle you look at it

Super cute! My 4yr old son would love this. Just a suggestion...since for a girl, you could always add pink ribbon bows to top of the doggie's ears! But the card AND the box are adorable!!!! #SFAprHop
