Tropical Shadow Box

Tropical Shadow Box

I love shadow box cards; they stand up well, the frame border creates perfect white space around a scene and the layers provide wonderful depth to the scene. The Gone to Maui Exclusive Kit with its adorable critters and elements combine perfectly with the beach scene from Scenic Backgrounds II to create the cutest little shadow box card. This type of shadow box is fairly simple to build once you’ve worked out the dimensions. The first time I made this shadow box it took a little while, fiddling and some trial and error to make the dimensions work to fold and fit into an A2 size envelope. Lucky for you I have all the dimensions all worked out and laid out below.

Your Next Stamp January Release and Stencils 3 Ways

Your Next Stamp January Release and Stencils 3 Ways

January is the month I pull out all of my adorable stamps about “Love”. In my house usually the upcoming Valentines Day is about making a few cards for my boys and some fun cards for their friends (not so much now that they are older). However if the past couple of years has taught me anything, sending a card to let people know that you love and appreciate them is important at anytime, so all those Valentine’s stamps are great for love messages all year round : ) Your Next Stamps January release is a mini one, but it is full of love to share.

LDRS: Have an Ice Day

LDRS: Have an Ice Day

Todays card features the stamp set Have an Ice Day. The card is also one of those edge to edge shaker cards, which are very popular right now. In past I’ve avoided edge to edge shaker card because I was afraid of making a great big mess. One time I attempted something similar with a fuse tool and I ended up with glitter absolutely everywhere. But I’m telling ya they are surprisingly very, very easy to make. So I am thinking there are a lot of Holiday edge to edge shaker cards in my future : )

Your Next Stamp Christmas Release SpotLight: Candy Cane Cat

I always love Christmas card making and of course that means I love checking out all the knew crafty supplies to make holiday cards and projects. Your Next Stamp Christmas Release is full of lots of fun stamps, dies and stencils. Which leads me to this question; are you in the “I love stencils camp” or “give me a background die any day of the week” or even “I want it all, stencils and dies”? I have 2 same but different cards. Both use Candy Cane Cat, but one is with zig real clean brush markers and a diagonal stencil the other is Copics and diagonal die. I’d loved to know which one you prefer between the two.

Hope you have had a chance to check out the new September birthday celebration release. Today I get to highlight the recently released ‘Birthday Gnomies’ stamp set. Thought it would be fun to take advantage of the hole in the centre of the mini sprinkle panel and have it open all the way thru to the inside of the card.
