Creative Team Christmas Shadow Box Scene

Creative Team Christmas Shadow Box Scene

by Creative Team member Kathy MacDonald

 
Kathy has created this amazing winter wonderland shadow box scene using many of the Crafts 4U dies. Simply by layering them up and using acetate and lots of foam tape between each layer she is able to create a stunning snow scene that is sure to surprise and recipient.
 
If your confidence is not up to making a shadow box, her design could easily be simplified for a card front or why not turn it into a shaker card!
 

Supplies:

Assorted papers for background
Assorted distress inks for colouring to suit your scene
 
 
Check out her all white shadow box as well! Just add some sparkle with your sparkle pen

Creative Team Ornament Shaker Card

Creative Team Ornament Shaker Card

by Creative Team member Kathy MacDonald

 

Supplies:

Nuvo Hexagon Confetti/Green Moss and Gold/Multi coloured small sequins

 

Instructions:

 
Paint wooden embellishment with the Cadence paint, leave to dry.
Score the white card 10.5 mm along the long side and fold in half burnishing fold with bone folder.
For card front, fold one piece of red card in half and cut to a matt of 10.5x15 mm. Use one.
Apply C4U Double sided tape 100mmx20m the back of all papers but not the acetate.
Cut 1 Frosty Border die and 3 Dangling Ornament dies in white sparkle paper, trim where necessary. Remove release paper placing Frosty border on card front and press in place. Place Ornament dies on card front and die cut. Adhere acetate at the back of these die cuts. Remove release paper on white glitter ornaments and carefully ‘fit’ shapes onto acetate backgrounds.
Turn red mat to back. Create ‘cells’ for shaker pieces by sectioning each ornament using foam double sided tape. Add the same tape to the 4 outside edges.
Using baby talc, corn flour or an embossing buddy tool rub over acetate to reduce the static cling for shaker pieces. Fill each bauble area with beads/sequins/metallic confetti in either different colours or the same colour. Carefully remove release paper from foam tape and press card front to rear of sequin filled red mat.
On the front using liquid glue, add ‘Merry Christmas’ embellishments to lower edge of red matt.
Adhere card front to card body using double sided tape.
