Special First Birthday card!

WARNING - Long post with lots of photos!!!
Well today I have no internet until 3.30pm again!! Dont know whats going on with it but I seem to get much more done when I cant get online!!!!
Todays card is one I am really pleased with. Sometimes I make a card I am really proud of and this is one of them!!!
I had a few punched animals spare after demoing them twice last week at Sheffield so I turned them into a card! My friends little boy is 1 next week so it was the perfect card for a little boy!
The colour combo is Bashful Blue, Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron. I made a box as the card is very thick with the animals and I used the card from the back of the paper packs as its so nice and thick for making boxes!

SO here is the card, with the cheeky lion and the naughty monkey!!! The papers are Bashful Blue and Pumpkin Pie Designer papers

 The number 1 is from the Schoolbook Serif Number set punched out with the 1 3/8 punch and the Scallop Circle. Sentiment is from A Bit of Birthday Cheer



I just love that thick stripe grosgrain ribbon!

Another angle!

I used the star punch and added so Pumpkin Pie buttons to match


I hope you like it, would love to hear your thoughts!!!!
Right I am going to finish sorting out my bags for tomorrow Cupcake class! If you are coming I have a little treat in store for you!

    I absolutely love your punch animals! Can you please tell me what size circles/punches you used? I tried doing them myself, but it's not working out for me. Maybe I just don't have the correct sized punches?

    I love your punch animals! I tried doing them myself, but I'm not sure that I have all of the correct punches. Could you please list the ones that you used? Thank you!
