 Well, here are my projects.  Everything (except the Animal Crackers) I used is from Stampin’ Up!   …. much of it is retiring.

“All Things Animal” is the theme this month.  I considered going with butterflies … because they are animals too …. but with Zoo Babies  (130456)retiring, I thought I should finally ink up that stamp set.  Why haven’t I used it before now?  It is so adorable!!!!

The square window card is 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″.  I used the retiring Squares Collection Framelits (130921) to create the frames and window cut out.  There is a window sheet (114323) in the opening.  The inside frame hides the edges of the window sheet.  Botanical Gardens DSP gave the card and box the wild animal feel that I was looking for.  The Botanical Builder Framelits (140625) and Botanical Blooms stamp set (140757) provided the leaves.   The square window card style is from Stamping School.

I used a bit of Botanical Gardens Designer Washi Tape (140586) to represent grass on the inside of the card.  All of the animals can be fussy cut or you can use an e-cutter to make your life a little simpler.

The retiring Fry Box Bigz L (132966) made for a cute coordinating project.  ANOTHER retiring item I have never used before!  sigh…..

I cut the Fry Box from Mossy Meadow cardstock and the Botanical Gardens DSP.  I hand trimmed the DSP to fit on the assembled box so there was a border of Mossy Meadow showing.  I decorated with several of the animals and a few leaves.  This would make a great favor for a birthday party.  The box is super easy to assemble.

The Fry box is perfect for holding a small bag of animal crackers.

Did you know, animal crackers just aren’t as tasty as last month’s jelly beans?!!!
