Family Puzzle

I spend most of my time crafting bago pa ako maging busy sa back-to-school preparations. This week, Bee Happy Weeklies Week 29 theme is Puzzle. I made a puzzle last year using my Sizzix Big Shot. I printed our pictures and die-cut them. 

This time I want to try something else, ayaw ko ng pictures namin so first, I want to make some cards. I already searched different sentiments for puzzle cards like… 

Love you to pieces 
Life is like a puzzle. Each piece has its own place. 
You’re an important piece of the puzzle. 
The smallest pieces make up the bigger picture. 
We fit together 
Wishing you a piece-ful holiday 

But I remembered that I recently made a watercolor card so I wanted to do something different. I searched my files and I found this Family Puzzle Laser Cut. There are 10 designs on this bundle and for my family of three, my choices are seal, fox, whale or rabbit. 




They are all cute designs but yesterday, I chose Seal. Like I said before, this is a laser-cut file and I don’t have a laser machine or basswood so I upcycled our cake box. Using my Cricut Maker, I cut the design into multiple pieces hanggang sa magamit ko yung buong cake box. Then I use cardstock for the front layer using the Draw then Cut function. Watch my short process video here



This looks like an easy project but it took me a long time cutting and assembling the project. I also applied Glossy Modpodge for the first layer and edges of the puzzle to protect the paper. But despite that, I enjoyed the process and am happy with the result. Now, may paggagamitan na ko ng ibang cake boxes na hinohoard ko. :)
