Angels Landing: DT Featured Project - A Gift Set for Sparky

Today, I have two samples I wish to share with you using Angels Landing images. I just can't seem to put the Toys on Wheels and Alphabet Train digi-stamp sets down. I keep coming up with ideas - it's so ridiculous!

It is my job to show you how versatile these digi sets are and this time I created a gift set to welcome a new member of the family. Toys on Wheels not only caters to our human baby counterparts but also our furry little babies. My sister's family adopted a puppy not too long ago and thought this would be the perfect little gift. This would be, in essence, her first ever pet. She has a 2 yr old daughter and they bonded very quickly. She named him Sparky after a stuffed animal she had gotten as a gift from one of the grandmas. She did not want to confuse her daughter so the name kind of stuck. I think it suits the little guy pretty good.

I had been dying to try Tracy Harp's Box O' Animal Crackers tutorial (you can find it here) and this was the perfect opportunity, but I adjusted it to suit my project. The box stands 3 inches tall and 5 inches wide. It is so cute! For the flap I put a little piece of velcro to keep it closed (Tracy used a big brad on hers, but I don't have any of those on hand). I created my window with an oval coluzzle cutter. I put a baggie of biscuits in the box. I also added a little doggy (like he's looking through a window full of biscuits - YUM!).

For the frame, I used a 5x7 acrylic frame that I bought from Wal-mart so my sister can show off her puppy. I customized the bottom with the puppy's name on it using the Alphabet Train digi set. The letters were printed in size 1.5 x 1.29 inches.

And last not least, a gift set wouldn't be complete without a matching card. I had real fun with this one. Everyone who has a pet knows how much they become so much part of the family so I created a big heart cut with the Cricut and Design Studio software (from Okieladybug's Scrap N' More - click for .svg file here) and adhered a doggy popped up on dimensionals on top of it. I had some leather lace I bought from Wal-mart last year and thought this would be the perfect embellie so I printed off another doggy image. Only the head is popped up this time so that the leash sits just underneath the neck - the rest of the leash is glued on to the rest of the card. I used the blank tag from Pierced Tags and the sentiment "Good Boy" is computer generated using the font called Freebooter in size 36. I distressed the tag with Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Tea Dye. It usually takes me awhile to come up with a card layout without using a sketch, but this came out pretty quickly. Both cardstock layers were embossed with the Argyle and Hearts Block embossing folders. Gotta love the cuttlebug.

There you have it - a gift for Sparky!
