Cardinal Memory Box
Design Credit: The top of the memory box was inspired by a Jan Hobbins cardinal card. I used the techniques she used to make the cardinal and the greenery and holly berries.
When I first saw the Tim Holtz Feathered Cardinal die I immediately knew I wanted to make a memory box. My father passed away in August and my mom the previous May. I wanted to make something special to hold some of their possessions and photos. Cardinals represent visitors from heaven so I thought it would be perfect for the top of the memory box. I loved Jan's design so I decided to use that for the top of the box. Thank you Jan for the wonderful design and inspiration!

Here is an up close view of the beautiful cardinal.
A Sizzix Shaker Dome was used to create the shaker portion of the box.
I added some Tim Holtz metal charms to the inside of the shaker. I also included my parent's initials.
Side View. I added Tim Holtz Box Feet to the bottom of the box. I think it makes the box look more finished.
Front View. I added a faux lock to the front of the box.
Here is a view of the side and back of the box. I just love the Tim Holtz papers!
Here is the inside of the box. I put a photo of my parents when they were dating in the 50's inside of a Tim Holtz frame.
