Hey, everyone! I'm doing some "stuff" for the Air Force right now, and I really meant to be posting more of these blog posts while I was here, but believe it or not, I got totally busy and I'm just now getting around to post some pictures of a few things I finished up over the spring and early summer.
I bought a really cute die from Spellbinders that now lets me create these cute little Shadow Box Fame Cards. I love the die and if you're anywhere in my circle, or if you regularly receive a birthday card from me, you'll probably be seeing one of these cards in the near future.
Without any further ado...
VOILA...
What's really interesting is that this is the first one I made, and rather than making it square so all my die cut strips for the frame would be even, I decided to make a rectangle! Y'all know if there is a hard way to do it, I'll give it a shot. Also, there is a different size of this die cut that only requires you to cut strips of paper that are 3" wide for the frame sides...the die I own is a different size and requires the strips of paper to be cut into 2.15" strips. I strongly recommend starting with this Spellbinder Shadow Box Frame die while you get your bearings underneath you.
Below you can see a close up of some of the details I put in this card. I loved the beautiful, whimsical paper so I went with a heavy shabby chic influence here. Several of the items used (including the paper, I believe) came from a few Tres Jolie Kit Club kits over the early months of this year. I think the pink and cream colored beads are from a kit that is about a year old (I remember using the beads for an Easter project last year.)
Below you can see some more details including a ReneaBouquet flower and RB Dragonfly! I also added plenty of paper pieces and some more of the beads.
Better closeup of the Dragonfly and some of the other details!
Thanks for checking in! I'm here for a few more weeks and I'll try to share a few more of these cards. Right after I made this first card, I had about 4 birthdays to celebrate, so look for several more of these in the upcoming weeks!
xoxo,
Mel
