Today’s card is for a little boy’s birthday. I used the number 5, but you can use whichever age you need. It opens up to show an open toy chest made with the upcoming Wood Crate Framelits Dies. I used quite a few different products, and I had a whole lot of fun putting it all together.

 

Here’s what I made:

  • Pacific Point CS and Daffodil Delight CS circles cut down with a slightly larger circle die, then glued onto Real Red circle
  • each section outlined with a Stampin’ Write Marker in the same color (Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, and Real Red)

Assembled the card:

  • cut the bottom off of one of the die cut crate pieces
  • glued the sides of both crate pieces together

  • bear glued to inside of crate, in the back
