Today is "Family Friday" over at Crazy About Cricut.
The assignment is to make a Toy project with your kids. The actual assignment was to make a toy project that can be about their/your favorite new toy they/you got for Christmas, or any favorite toy.
When we got started on this assignment for the toy project, my two boys just KNEW they wanted to use their brand new Nintendo DSi's as inspiration for this project. Together we designed a Nintendo DS card.

The top and bottom of the inside of the card include a ID badge holder we cut down to fit the size of a gift card.
The idea is that the little gift card pockets will serve as a place for a message on the bottom and a gift card on top. In addition to being totally useful, they really make the card look like it has the little screens like the DS has.
All the buttons are applied with pop-dots and I used the Cri-kit pens to add the letters etc. before I cut them on the Cricut.

I really hope you like this project as much as we do!!
I have the cut file for this project. I designed it on my Gypsy with my kiddos. If you'd like the cut files, please email me or leave a comment with your email address and I'll get the file to you.
Here are the details:
Card size: 3.5" x 6.25"
Corners rounded with the 1/4" corner chomper
Corners rounded with the 1/4" corner chomper
Card stock: teal card stock from a assortment pack (Joanns)
The little lens is metallic cardstock
Cri-kit pens to draw out the buttons - you can just hand-draw them if you'd like
The little lights are a small rectangle hole punch I grabbed from a garage sale
I bought a pack of 10 badge holders from the Dollar Tree
Thanks to chicken nuggets for dinner and a couple sets of greasy hands, I had to re-make this card before I could photograph it! Thanks boys!! :)

I really thought that was a DS! lol Great job! :)
I found this on a search the other day, and now again on fb. I just love this card, I have an 11 year old that I asked to make one with me, he said, "You make it for me" as he is burried in his dsi
What a fun card! Great work!
LOL what a great job I had to really look to realize that the second DS was actually your card!!!
Holy crap! This is amazing :)
