Hi! I hope all of you are having a great week! Today I am sharing one of the biggest shadow scene I’ve ever made! This card is themed around a busy street with lots of fun elements!
I used the Cinematic Shadow Box stand alone die cut to create the backbone of my card. You can have up to 4 tabs in this shadow box which gives great dimension and lots of room to fit ample stamped images!
I thought why not take it to the next level and combine this shadow box with an interactive element! I used the Dotted Borders Slimline Pull Tab – Stand-Alone Die to make the Ice Cream truck move down this busy street!
I just love making these mini scenes on this shadow box! Acetate played a big part in the assembly of this card.
I used acetate for a couple of the tabs in the box so that the road background could show through. I added acetate to mimic the Ice Cream Truck’s windows. I also used it for placing the music notes that are coming from the ice-cream truck!
To keep everything in perspective, I laid out the images so that larger characters go near the front and smaller ones go at the back.
I stamped out a sentiment from The Sweetest Truck on the front tab of the box which I had trimmed down to show more of the sidewalk at the bottom.
I hope you enjoyed this inspiration and thank you so much for stopping by!
Hello everyone! Mimi is back today with a super adorable shadow box inspiration!
She custom made her own shadow box measuring about 5 3/4 long to set the scene. She also made a couple of one inch wide tabs to fit into her box.
She then adhered her beautifully colored critters from the Inseparable stamp set on the different tabs to create the three dimensional look!
She added a bunch of accessory images such as the muffin, coffees from Rabbit Cafe. I also love the scattered flowers and how she used the dance floor image from Fun Night Out as the picnic blanket – so clever!
The sentiment on the front of the box is from Unity and Friendship Quotes. The hanging banner flags on the tree (also from Inseparable) gives her card the perfect finishing touch!
Thank you Mimi for your charming shadow box card! It is super sweet!
Hello! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Candice is with us today sharing a Just Because card with a theme inspired by this month’s Penguin Palace card challange!
Her card was inspired by our Challenge #14: Geometric!
She started by blending a rainbow background using Distress Oxide inks. I just love this rainbow hue!
Then she blended a few slightly darker shades of the same colors through our new Hieroglyphs stencil to create a tone on tone geometric-inspired background! This versatile stencil lets you create an interesting background for any type of card!
She stamped and Copic-colored one of the images from the Inseparable stamp set and cut them out using the coordinating die.
Next, she white heat-embossed the “Sending Warm Hugs” sentiment from the Unity and Friendship Quotes onto some gray cardstock and die cut it with the coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts. I love how this coordinating die trims closely to the letters for a very detailed finished look. She then finished her card with some sparkly embellishments!
