Hamburger Box Critters

It is looking a bit like a zoo in my craft room (and a bit of mess)!  No pics of the post-creation craft room whirlwind (believe me you do NOT want to see that!) but I do have cutie pie animal pics.

This menagerie is made with the new Stampin' Up Hamburger Box Bigz XL die.

Mr Alligator was the first critter to join the zoo.  Love the teeth on all three sides!  They are made with the 1" Square Punch set on an angle.

Then came Mr Horse:

I was going for a monkey but once I had the base assembled I thought the Baked Brown Sugar looked more equine.  His teeth are also made with the 1" Square Punch cut in half to form rectangles.  The forelock is made with the tail piece of the bird from the Bird Builder Punch.

So I tried again for a monkey with a Chocolate Chip colored Hamburger Box.  Guess what?   It turned in to a bear!

I think this guy looks like Baloo the Bear from Jungle Book.

And last a hippopotamus joined the crowd:

I have ideas for a few more critters so hopefully tomorrow I can get time to make some more!  Playing with the die has given me some ideas for ways to modify the box into other things so keep a look out for those too!

Below is a list of all the punches and framelits for each animal.  I think they are pretty easy to figure out from the pictures but let me know if you have any questions!
