May the Forest Be With You

Aloha Kadoodlers!

Mellisa T. here and it's my day back on the blog. Have you had a chance to grab the super cute Safari Animals before they retire? If not, you can grab this adorable file here. The monkey can be picked up here.
This card is a little different from most for me. I wanted to try to make a tall box card with an open front window and boy, am I pleased with how this came out. Pictures just don't do this card justice.
Remember to browse through all of the soon to be retired files because once they're gone, they're gone and this is truly a file you want to add to your collection.

Jungle Themed Shadow Box: Wedding Gift

Hello Friends! Today is my day on the Kadoodle Bug Designs blog. I'm sharing this jungle themed shadow box that I made for my best friend. She is getting married this Sunday. I used her actual invitation and then decorated to match it.

I made my giraffes out of cardstock because I needed them big and wanted them to be the main focus of this project. Mulberry paper is best used for 5 inch embellishments or less. My best friends favorite animal is giraffes, so that was an easy choice.

I then added other zoo animals that I made furry using mulberry paper and a process that is called tear bear.

I added green Petaloo flowers and large gems. The background paper is the Zoology collection by Bo Bunny. I used the 6x6 paper pad. I adhered everything to a 12x12 piece of cardstock, put it in my frame and added sequins. 

I had a minor problem with sequins falling out of my shadow box frame. I used some tape of the bottom corners to fix this problem.

I uploaded files from Kadoodle Bug Designs to Cricut Design Space and cut out the patterns  with my Cricut Explore.
