Fox | You'll Only Use It Once

 

As each of my nephs have arrived I have made them a 'name frame shaker box'.  I'm clearly not very good at naming things but those four words cover exactly what I'm trying to get across!  This little pickle has foxes on his buggy and so I went with the theme of foxes.  I bought a fox die on clearance from Seven Hills Crafts.  It's not new by any means, it's from W Plus 9's February 2016 release!  As I said, it was on clearance (and I was feeling the pressure to make this the best project ever) so I thought even if I only use it for this, and maybe a card for his first birthday, that'll be enough.

 

I mixed up a shaker sequin mix to match my foxy colour scheme.  Some of the stars are glow in the dark which will add a bit of a fun touch after the lights have been turned out.

 

I think it went down quite well.  And just as I was going to stash the dies away for next year the perfect opportunity to use them again popped up.  We needed a thank you card for a neighbour, who has foxes frequent his garden.  Bingo!  I added some foliage dies from various companies all cut on some watercoloured paper. The thank you stamp is also from an old W Plus 9 set.

 

So there we go.  From years of never needing fox craft supplies to needing them twice in the space of a week.  I'm intrigued to see how many more uses it gets.  It can't see it being many but I don't trust myself any more!
