Pet in a Box



Today's project has a special place in my heart. This is the first template set I designed about two years ago when my interest in card making and papercrafts started. It's so simple to make, honest! When mastered this can be thrown together in less than 10 minutes. And the possibilities are endless, look how cute it is. The set contains the box template, no glueing required, the buckle, a whole heap of other pets, cats and dogs, front and back, a small 'tag' for writing your message and the envleope template. It is designed so it can be sent flat packed in an enevelope, and the recipient then simply slots the box in to shape. Scroll down to download the free set
Have fun, I hope you enjoy it!

Fold the box template as in the photo:

The bottom of the box simply slots together:




Cut your chosen pet out, stick a small peice of card to the back, and then glue the back peice of the pet over it, this peice of card you glue to the box.

When flattening to put in to the envelope ensure the lower tabs are folded inside.

Even in its simplest form this card is so cute, but you can add embellishments, ribbons, gems, a handle, just use your creativity to snazz it up! If you do choose to make one I'd love to see your pics :)
