What's Happening Thurs 7/29:

1. Want to learn to make a fun interactive card called a Floating Shadow Box Card?

 

 

When you move the sides in & out the DragonFly inside

is hovering over the flowers.

 

Supplies needed

2 @ 10" x 6" solid color cardstock for base 

  (I used CTMH Blue Belle)

2 @ 5 3/4" x 5 3/4" pattern cardstock (I used CTMH Lovely)

4 @ 5 3/4" x 3/4"" cardstock for panels layer 1

die to cut out center front (in my case CTMH Stitched Bracket)

stamp for images & sentiment 

 (I used Cute As A Bug stamp/die - DragonFly, sentiment)

ink for stamped images & sentiment 

  (I used VersaFine Onyx Black)

optional - markers to color images

adhesive, optional - foam adhesive

acetate 3/4" x 3 1/2" (trimmed after attached) for strip to 

  put floating image on (in my case the DragonFly)

optional - die for sentiment tag 

  (in my case a CTMH Stitched Bracket)

optional - embossing powder 

  (I used clear embossing powder DragonFly)

 

Directions:

Score the 2 @ 10" x 6" cardstock at 1", 2", 8" & 9"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Crease  & burnish the score lines

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Attach the center pieces & panel pieces

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Decorate the center of back piece.  Attach the image to acetate piece and attach to side (in my case left side).  Trim off excess acetate. Die cut the front center.
