Hello Friends and welcome to this weeks Make and Take Craft!
We are So excited that Spooky Season has begun! Let’s celebrate by creating a Spooky Shadowbox- complete with little ghosties, tombstones, bats, and more!
Check out the video here:
Let’s start by creating our Shadowbox Base!
Score the cardstock at 1”, 5”, 6”, and 10”! This will give us a card face of 4” and a side of one inch!
We’ll run it through the die cutting machine to pop out circular windows on both faces!
Using blending brushes and Distress Oxide inks, well add some dimension to the background panel!
Doublesided tape will help us adhere it to the inside of the shadowbox!
Our inner panel has a nifty little ledge to add extra embellishments to later! Make sure the little tabs fold down when you flatten the shadowbox!
Tape your edges together and there you have a Shadowbox Base!!
It’s time to Create our Spook-tastic Shadowbox!!
We have a collection of diecuts for you to arrange- as well as moss, glitter, and distress ink!
I love to distress the edges of the tombstones and banner- it adds to much detail!
If you’d like your banner to be 3D, fold its ends like the second picture- this gives it that Banner look!
You can create any kind of scene that appeals to you!!
Try layering moss and tombstones to create an abandoned graveyard look! Or cut out trick-or-treaters to make a Halloween Scene!!
This little Haunted scene could be anything you imagine!
Thanks for crafting with us, you BOOtiful artists!!
This was so much fun to create with you, if you’d like to create with us in-shop stop by and check out the $5 Craft Station!! This craft and kits for it will be available ALL WEEK!!
See you next time!!
