My project uses the new Always an Adventure, Foxy Friends and Harwood Stamp Sets and Outdoor Adventure and Botanical Builder Framelits, and the Fox Builder Punch. Sooo fun. I started with making the giftbag. I wasn't 100% on my design, so I just went with what I was feeling at the time.

I used the giftbag punchboard and I used a full sheet of 8 1/2x11 cardstock and followed the directions for a medium bag. Before assembling the bag, I took the Hardwood Stamp and stamped the entire bag. Cut out a square on the front of the bag.from the Layering Squares framelits. I used a post it note to hole the framelit in place. You will need to fold up the other sides to fit through the Big Shot. Make sure you fold the sides ontop not under or the square will cut all the layers.

To finish off the bag, I cut a piece of window sheet slightly large than the square framelit used. I adhered it on the inside. I cut out a few leaves from the Botanical Builder Framelits. I punched the fox image out with the Fox Builder punch on Whisper White. And I stamped the coordinating images in Cajun Craze. Face was stamped in Black. SOOO cute I love seeing all the Foxy Friends all over Facebook and Pinterest. I added a little S'mores kit to the bag. I mean whats more summer than S'mores.

So my card focusing on the Outdoor Adventure Framelits. I used a piece of the Thick Whisper White and created to cardbase. I made 2 cards with the same design. You can see from the photos below.  I stamped or colored the stamped images and cut them with the framelits.  To create I the sky I cut a piece of Soft Sky card stock at about 2 1/2" x 5 1/4.
Then I just layered everything onto the base. I realized after the hot air balloon just looked to big on the card so I omitted it.

Sooooooo, after the card was done, I decided to make a second bag to match the card. I made with the same size as my Fox bag. Cut out the same Outdoor Adventure layers and assembled.
I am happy with the results. But I think at some point I will make a card the matches the Fox Bag a little better. I had fun just making everything with no real plan just lets see how it goes!! Not usually my style.

I hope you liked it
