Check out the Full Video Tutorial below:

To make Shadowbox Cards, you will first need to cut your paper to size: 4 1/4” x 10 1/4”

Then, score the paper at the 1” mark, the 5” mark, the 6” mark, and the 10” mark

For the layering tab on the inside, cut a piece 1” x 4 1/2”

Score it 1/4” on either side

The Shadowbox folds on the score lines. Use a die-cut to cut a hole for the front of the shadowbox

To create a little box, tape it together using the “tab” on the edge.

The little strip we created above slides into the BOTTOM of the shadowbox to layer your items on to add dimension to the box

Check out the fun things you can die-cut for layering inside your shadowbox!! The Cattail Landscape and the Small Birds set are some of my favorite and versatile die-cuts I own!

Check out the sentiment at the top and the fun layering of the items AND the textured ribbon at the back!! (the ribbon is held in place with a tiny bit of double-sided tape)

The best part about shadowboxes is they fold totally flat!!

Check out this Shadowbox using this Swift Scooter die cut from Memory Box!! I love the little Hello Sentiment and the touch of Green Twine on the side!! The little Heart die-cuts from Altenew make me SO HAPPY!

When folded flat, the Shadowbox Cards fit PERFECTLY in an A-2 size envelope!!

Now this idea is not shown in the video above, but it is made with the same idea!! I love this one with the Mermaid Theme!! Instead of a rectangle or circle cutout for the front, the cut out is the Deep Sea Window Frame from Hero Arts!!

Shadowbox Cards are SO FUN!! And, you can STILL write a message on the back of the Shadowbox because there is plenty of space!

Join me for NEXT Demo Video!! On Wednesdays, it is posted on my Facebook Page as well as my YouTube Channel!! This next Demo will be on… Blended Backgrounds and STAMPING WITH WATER!!

See you soon friends!!!
