TRIPLE SHADOW BOX FRAME


The photos in this 'Triple Shadow Box Frame' are recessed  1/2".   I used papers from a Graphic 45 kit called 'En Vogue'.   Frame measures  4 1/2" x  14 1/2".
 


This is the sentiment on the back side of the frame.


                                       This is in the middle of back for personal sentiments.

TWIST-n-POP CARD

I created this 'Twist-n-Pop' card as a Get Well Card.  It measures 4'' x  6''.  I saw a video made by Collette Mitrega a few years ago and it became one of favorite cards.  I have used her instructions for the basic measurements ever since. 


Opened up the card measures  4'' x  12''.  Background papers and the frogs are from Creative Fabrica.  I brought them into Photoshop for sizing and mounted them on my own background design.


                 Here is the back side.  I fussy cut this 'Nurse' frog from clip art on the internet.

Here is a video on my YouTube channel if you would like to follow along and make one of you own.

PICNIC CENTERPIECE


I created this 'Picnic Centerpiece' using regular cardstock.  Bottom of the box is reinforced with medium weight chipboard.


 Here's the second side.  I used Americana colors from the 'Chicory Cottage' kit on Etsy.  Stars are a punch and attached with pop ups.  Military emblems are from clip art on the internet.  I found the American eagle on Creative Fabrica's site.

                          Both ends have the same sentiment.  Centerpiece measures  4'' x  8''  x  4''.


                 


                 I have a video on my YouTube channel if you would like to make one of your own.

EASEL CARD TOPPED BOX

 

I created this project using papers from the Graphic 45 collection called 'Let It Bee'.  It is a  6'' x  6'' x  1 1/2'' box topped with an easel card.  


The easel card is held in place by three layers of patterned paper .  I made the large rose using the  'Tattered Floral' die by Tim Holtz.  The smaller roses that cluster around it are made with an ek floral punch.  Very small. They measure one inch.


                                                         Inside the box is a photo album.  
 

This is the backside of the easel card.


                                            The photo album stretches out to twelve inches.

There is a video of this project on my YouTube Channel..

SEASCAPE FUN FOLD CARD

 


 I was inspired to create my own version of this 'Fun Fold Card' after watching a tutorial by Terri Walker.  It measures  4'' x  6''.  Front flap is held together with a small magnet.


                                            The card opens to reveal the sentiment section. Patterned paper is from a digital kit from Etsy called 'Whimsical Seascape'.


Lighthouse and seagull ephemera is from clip art on the internet.  I brought them into Photoshop for sizing then fussy cut them out.


                                   

                           HERE is a YouTube video if you would like to make one yourself.
