Hello, dear friends! Happy (belated) Valentine’s Day!
Lilian (The Leaf Studio) here today to share a project, inspired by Erin’s Tunnel Book! (Click HERE to see it)
Valentine’s Day might be gone, but it’s never too much to show your loved ones how you feel about them! I used Totem Swan to make a Shadow Box Card…here are some supplies:
How-To (Totem Swan):
- Remove Head and Body from the carrier and load them with VersaMark ink
- Sprinkle White Embossing Powder
- Heat pieces with a Heat Gun until powder melts
- Let them cool down and assemble using a Mini-Brad in White
- Using Sharpie markers, draw eye and color the beak:
How-To (Shadow Box Card):
My card is 5″ x 7″ and I figured out my own template (but I found a tutorial for a smaller card size HERE)
- Trim a piece of Kraft cardstock to 10″ 3/4 x 5″. Score the edges at 3/8″, for 5 times, on each side and fold them (starting from the inside score line, fold in, out, in, etc)
- Trim three 5″ x 7″ panels (I trimmed 2 of them 1/8″ smaller on length to fit in the folds of the card). Then, cut some openings (you can also use die cuts or electronic die cut machines for this step)
- This is what they look like stacked
- Stamp different patterns on the 3 panels and adhere a piece of 5″ x 7″ patterned paper to the back of the card (trim it 1/8″ smaller to fit the background)
- Adhere the smaller panels to the accordion folds, and adhere the first panel on the top:
6. Finally, add the Totem Swan and some stickers:
