 Here’s another shadow box card . . . LOVE making these things!

My friend Kathy has just had shoulder surgery and as a fellow stamper, I thought she would enjoy looking at some pretty florals through this artsy shadow box frame . . . I love this style and am grateful to Concord & 9^th for making it so easy to put together.

Happy Anniversary

On wedding anniversary cards, I always like to use two design elements.  Hence the two flowers . . .

I used my favorite Foamiran for these because three seconds with the heat gun makes the petals curve up.  They stay that way permanently – even after a coast to coast ride through the post office machines.  Amazing!

This one started out as a shadow box layout . . .

 . . . but the frame was too narrow to keep the folded side strips that pop up the fame from showing.  I could have just used pop dots to do the job, but I liked the look of this flush mounting, so I went with that.

Still having fun with shadow box cards . . .

My friend John is a flower grower and seller, so I always enjoy making floral cards for him.  These stand up so nicely on display, so I hope he takes advantage of that . . .

Here’s another shadow box example . . .

For some odd reason, I glued the focal point panel off-center.  So I added some text along the left side and bottom to balance things out.  Hope it looks intentional, and doesn’t scream boo boo cover-up . . .

Jennifer McGuire has done several excellent videos on shadow box cards.  Her most recent one features a new die set by Concord & 9^th which cuts all of the elements needed for this eye-catching, dramatic layout . . .

I’m hooked and have already begin work on a second shadow box card.  Many more are definitely in the works!
