Create a Shadow Box Frame Shops Scene Card using the Les Shoppes Collection

Here is another project that builds on previous shadow box projects — this project features the LET’S GO SHOPPING & TRUCKING ALONG BUNDLES and demonstrates how this set of 18 dies, truck punch, and stamps creates a variety of storefronts for this shadow box project.

Additionally, the new September – December 2023 MINI CATALOG will feature a coordinating stamp set — SHOP THE TOWN that has Christmas magic in the air!

My video tutorial features all the steps for building the card in four parts: (1) Cut and color town store fronts, (2) Cut and assemble the Box Frame and adhere background, (3) Assemble the town inside the box frame, (4) build stand and stamp sentiment.

Refer to a previous tutorial for the technical aspects of building the shadow box frame if you missed them.

And, once you watch my tutorial the products are available on my ONLINE store.
