The Shadow Box technique is a great technique for any occasion. Unlike the previous shadow box project, the only stamping to be done here is for the sentiment! It’s just cardstock and DSP! All the products featured are from the Annual Catalog — PAMPERED PETS & WHALE OF A TIME suites. I either fussy cut, die-cut or used a punch to create the characters! SO EASY! I used the Layering Squares (151772) to create the window panes for these cards. There were made with my nieces in mind…and they LOVED them! I love the beauty and artistry of the Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper!
Follow the same general directions (see BUTTON) and view the Video Tutorial for tips and directions for constructing the card. It is really easy and once you make your first card–like me—you won’t want to stop!
I found this great fancy fold technique that creates a shadow box that is great for a scenic holiday composition. It is easy to assemble and an added bonus is that folds easily to fit in a standard envelope for mailing! Definitely a great way to spread added “wow” this season!
I created this holiday card featuring a great stag standing proundly in the foreground around evergreen trees with a lovely cottage snow scene in the background.
All the products featured are available in the current Holiday Catalog — the WISHES & WONDER Bundle,SNOW FRONT, STILL SCENES, and IN THE PINES stamp set.
