This month's theme is Fuzzy Buzzy Friends! Our challenge was to make two projects with anything that would include animals or insects!!
When I saw the Silly Goose stamp set in the January- April mini catalog it made me laugh.
Honestly, I immediately thought of my son who is a teacher - since they can no longer give hugs - he always says to his students - fist bumps only!! So the two ducks giving "Goose Bumps" sold me!!
I used the new bumpy embossing folder that is one of the new Online Exclusive products-
Basics 3D Embossing Folders - (where there are three different embossing folders bundled together) I hope you can see the texture in my photo - It deserved to go with the goose bumps! The colors I used are Balmy Blue for the base, Pacific Point for the embossed layer, a layer of black and the Basic White. I stamped the image and just colored with my Stampin Blends - I don't think you have to be perfect with your coloring - I think it looks more like a sky with some lines and different shading to the Balmy Blue coloring.

For my 3D project I made a box for a mini Grey Goose Vodka bottle - What better to go with the THANKS goose stamp. I pulled out some of the Sun Prints DSP to cover the box - this is beautiful paper but I could not help thinking that this particular piece kind of reminded me of the mess the geese leave on our dock!! We live on a little lake and the geese are not always our friends!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOta48NvZ9enpjoGE0TEYZFYV8Oz1Kje0TYHwZ_O6kzg5gkbQu1ycgi0lktFa6b8ugZHahJubx-1Teoz5a7pyg2WY_9F1f6IuWXLEVkerIerEIuwTF-ue8mGzUzddfOH2tIEVrMt3hZrcnVZEULgKAkcBP6TJJCTwqBcx6tB8sfs5WB8gO-d1nMlf-/w592-h640/Silly%20Goose%20Gift%20Box.jpg)
But since we live on this little lake - the guys are often helping each other out - pulling the boat lifts in, repairing boats, etc. and it is always nice to give a little thank you. So this box was meant to be very masculine but fun because they don't really want gifts!
I started with a full sheet of Thick White Card stock 8 1/2" X 11" - see the directions above as how to score it and then cut into the edges to form the flaps.
I made an insert piece out of the blue measuring 5 3/4" by 5 1/2" Scoring on the longer side at 1 1/2", 2 3/4"& 4" Make a mountain fold out of the middle scored pieces (they should each be 1 1/4" wide and glue those together to make your divider.
I made a belly band with the grey DSP from the same pack, Sun Prints. The tag has three layers - black, Pacific Point and Basic White - cut twice to size with the Deckled Rectangles Dies. I colored my Goose with Stampin Blends and added a few Enamel Dot Essentials at the corners.

We have a small group hopping today so I hope you take the time to see what the other talented card makers have come up with!!
LOVE Goose Bumps!!!
