Hi all,
I'm here today to share my first DT creation for Papermill Direct.
I'm here today to share my first DT creation for Papermill Direct.
I decided to do something a little different and make a shadow box/diorama card. These are so simple to make but so effective. I know we are all aware of postage cost and that's the great thing about these cards. They offer dimension but can be posted flat.
For my card I used:
2 pieces of ivory linen card 14.5 cm x 21 cm
1 piece of black card 14.5cm x 13 cm
Scoreboard or ruler and scoring tool
Die or something to draw around to cut an aperture
Stamps or digital images
Adhesive
The first step is to stamp or print your image /verse onto the centre of 1 of the pieces of Ivory Linen card
I also made a digital frame and printed the sentiment I will be using for the front of my card onto the second piece where the aperture will be cut in order to save card.
Now cut your aperture in the centre of the second piece of ivory Linen. Here I am using a nestability circle die but if you have a steady hand you could draw around a cup etc and cut by hand.
Then do the same with the black piece of card.
Then do the same with the black piece of card.
Now using either a score board or ruler and embossing tool score both pieces of ivory card at 2cm and 4cm as shown below
Crease the side tabs like this
Adhere the black piece of card into the centre back and adhere the side tabs so you end up with this.
Decorate as you wish!
There are so many possibilities with these cards. You could add acetate to the centre aperture which you could make in any shape and add a spray of glitter or add patterned papers or decoupage your image to give a real 3d look.
The image and sentiment used for my project are available from The Digi Stamp Boutique HERE
Thank you for stopping by today
