Ahoy There Shine On ... Boat in A Pop Out Box with Tutorial...

Back to another of my All Day projects... I think this was the overall favourite!!

This project was borne from a mixture of my own idea(s) and further inspiration found on the web.... which all came together to form a lovely whole!!

I knew I was going to do a re-sized project (using 12x12 Shine On card) of my  Explosion Box Gift Card Holder (Tutorial & Emerald Envy version here, It's My Party version here)... and I wanted to put a sailing dinghy - or a car - or a bike  - or whatever - for the man each crafter was making for!!

And then I was sent a photo of this fabulous project by Jessica Winter with those immortal words " can we do something like this"... well yes... right up my plan/thoughts street!! The cake quickly becoming that sailing dinghy in my head!!

I then searched for the originator of the project (as I hadn't been sent a link)... and whilst I was looking I happened upon this fabulous project by Doreen... and then all those ideas in my head and on the screen just all pulled together...

Come back tomorrow to see the other version I made for my brother or Dad.... and maybe I should complete that sailing dinghy for hubby too...

And for those of you that love a Tutorial or Two....!
