Girls Birthday Party Projects

This month I was asked to do another 13th birthday party for a group of 7 girls.  I had found out the birthday girl's favourite animal and designed a set of 4 notecards, giftbox and a bookmark around this theme, in this case dogs.  I also found out what the girls favourite colours were and these were used in their projects.  The girls had a great time, using the various punches to make the dogs:- 1 1/4" circle for the head, 1 3/8" circle for the body; 3/4" circle for the paws and Word Window for the ears.  The 'kennel' was embossed using the Stripes embossing folder and the roof edge punched using the Scallop border punch with a Small Heat at the apex.  The box for the gift cards was made from a square of Early Espresso card stock and scored using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool.  The girls used their favourite animals from the Storybook Friends stamp set to decorate the box.  The bookmark was made using the Scalloped Tag Topper punch, Small Heart punch and standard hole punch to create the paw prints.  They spent a very quiet 2 hours making their projects and seemed to be very pleased with their creations. (Unfortunately I forgot to take my camera to be able to take a photo of their finished projects so have only taken a photo of the sample set I had made the show the girls what they were going to make).
