YOU ARE INVITED TO A PIG-NIC...

haha!

i grabbed this file at the DIGIPLAYGROUND for today's post.

since i first saw it i wanted it so bad. i think is adorable.

may and june are full of graduation parties. i have a few to congratulate including my son.

and then i thought i will make this gable box and i will cut some duplicates of the animal and make my own invites or congratulation cards. i can also use it as it is: a treat box or maybe even for decoration.

and if i switch the inside i can use it for many more occasions. 

Graduation Party Invite and Gable Box

isn't she adorable?

-she is a jamie cripps svg design-

i added the graduation cap/hat from a cricut cartridge.

 (NOTE: the cap does NOT come with the file)

-this is how the invite will look-

ooops! the eyes are upside down but if i do not tell, you wouldn't notice it.

-and this is the inside-

i used my die cutter (cricut explore) for the cutting and writing.

(the font is from the "all mixed up" cricut cart)

and i thought it would be funny to write

PIG-NIC 

instead

of

PICNIC

just to have some more fun

here you can see it attached to the box.

the final gable treat box measures around 

4-3/4" x 1"

the one i made is a bit taller because of the cap.

-i added some shimmer to the eyes and feet, and some color to her cheeks-

i think you will love this box.

-this is the file you will find at the digiplayground-

oh and they also have a cow,

maybe next project will be beefy, lol

and now as always, 

thank you so much for stopping by. 

i appreciate your visits and comments. 

did you know you can add your project photo to the digiplayground gallery?

PAPER DOLLS DRESS UP SERIES---episode 4

hope you all had a great mother's day.
 we left for boston on friday morning to pick up my gift for mother's day: my son, lol

we also stopped at this mall close to our hotel and got a picture with dustin pedroia, who plays for the red sox. my hubby was in heaven since he is a big-big fan of dustin.
it was a very nice trip!!! besides the lots of packing :)

anyhow, here is our fourth episode of
paper dolls dress up
(pddu)

this is my project
a

College Bound ---file folder card
4 x 5 " tall

the pirate girl is from page #45 and it is #17 on the overlay.
(look at the hair, hehe. i used a halloween cob webs paper because i wanted to, lol).

i made some small holes with the crop-a-dile to tie/stitch the twine around.

the file tab where i stamped "college bound" was cut and outline (with a zig fine tip pen) by hand. the cute little map was majorly distressed to make it look like an old map where she found her treasure.
(her treasure was a free pass to college :P --just because this card is for one of my nieces who graduates this year).

the file folder is from graphically speaking, #32 on the overlay.
the face is from peachy keen stamps and the cardstock used from k&co and american crafts.
---this pirate has been through a lot in her short life, i can assure you life has not been easy for her---:(

now onto my dear teammates:
