My neighbours decided to have a Giggle & Hoot birthday party for their son Max's 1st birthday.
My job was to make the jelly slice, but of course how could I go without making a Giggle & Hoot card & box too.
 |
| To make the box I used the Fancy Favor Bigz XL die & the Top Not die (sorry the photo went upside-down). |
 |
| Punches: Small Heart, Two Step Bird, Petal Builder, Owl Builder, 1" circle, Scallop circle, 1 3/8" circle. |
 |
| Sorry this photo turned upside-down too : / Just in case you don't recognise the cream shape next to the heart, it's a bird with it's head cut off. |
 |
| I used a Chocolate Chip marker to draw stitches on the wings & the heart. |
 |
| I cut the head off the bird to use the tail end as the eye brows. |
 |
| Fold the Top Note in half & start building the face. |
 |
| These jewel pickers are great for adding tiny little bits. |
 |
| Whoops...another upside-downer... I cut the bottom corner off the tab of the Fancy Favor box before putting it together. |
 |
| Sticky Strip is great for 3D projects. |
 |
| Build the body before putting the bottom of the box together, it's easier to work on it while it's still flat. |
 |
| Put the feet together & set them aside (looks like I got a bit carried away with the Tombow glue here). |
 |
| Flatten the box to decide where to add adhesive. You may need it in a few places. |
 |
| Good old Sticky Strip always works a treat when sticking these sorts of things together. |
 |
| Add the feet after the box is assembled. A bone folder is handy to add pressure in hard to reach places. |
 |
| Squeeze the top of the box together to prepare for the lid. |
 |
| More sticky strip to attach the Top Note (face). |
 |
| Once the face is attached, add a velcro dot to the inside flap, keep both pieces stuck together. |
 |
| Then close the lid. |
 |
| When you open the lid, the other side of the velcro dot will have landed in just the right place. |
 |
| The Woodgrain back ground stamp didn't quite cover the card stock from top to bottom, but that's alright because bunches of bushy grass can cover that. |
 |
I googled images of Giggle & Hoot, to try and match the characters as much as I could.
I didn't even know he had a girlfriend till then. |
 |
| I used the little heart from the Owl punch to make the flowers on the card. The stems are from the Two Step Bird punch & the bushy grass is made with the Boho Blossoms punch. |
 |
| Tree leaves are made with the Boho Blossom punch & Scallop Circle punch. I also added ink with cling wrap to create the leafy texture. |
 |
| This is what Viv done to decorate inside the house, I think it looks fabulous. |
 |
| Opps... it seems I was too late to get a picture of the cake, Yum! |
 |
| There's my jelly slice on the table. |
 |
| This one's a bit fuzzy.... |
 |
| There was so much delicious food, & lots of blue & orange food too. & if you look really closely you might see the little blue & orange owls on the food labels. |
 |
| Jelly slice in Blue Heaven & Orange. |
 |
| Mmmmm... It was yummm! |
