Heartfelt Creations - Peacock Shadow Box

 Hi and welcome!

We finally had a significant snowfall yesterday here on Long Island. We usually have so much more snow so it was exciting to wake up this morning and see everything looking so beautiful. 

My card today looks a little more tropical than the current situation. 










Instructions: Card size is 7 x 5”. Score and fold 10 x 7” white cardstock at 5” on the long side to create card base. Cut Ornate Peacock Paper Collection sheet 1B to 6 7/8 x 4 7/8”, ink the edges with Archival Forget-Me-Not ink and adhere to the card front.

Cut two tags from the paper collection using the smaller Tickets and Tags Die, ink the edges with Forget-Me-Not ink and adhere to two white cardstock tags cut using the larger tag die. Punch the holes in the tags, diecut the reinforcements for the holes using the same die set and color with Forget-Me-Not ink, adhere the reinforcements to the tags and add fuchsia satin cord. Trim a little off the bottom of the tags and adhere them to the right side of the card front as shown.

Create a 5 x 5” shadow box. Score a 7 x 11 1/2” piece of Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper on the short side at 1/2”, 1”, 6” and 6 1/2”. Score the long side at 1/2”, 1”, 6” and 6 1/2”. Trim the right top and bottom score lines off up to the first vertical score line, using scissors to cut tabs. (See sample on my blog.) Cut paper from the paper collection sheet 12B x1 4 7/8 x 4 7 /8”, x4 3/8 x 4 7/8” and ink the edges with Forget-Me-Not ink. Using removable tape, temporarily adhere the 4 7/8 x 4 7/8” designer paper to the front of the shadow box. Using the Cut Mat Create 2A die, cut the aperture in both the card front and the designer paper at the same time. Adhere the designer papers to the box using dries clear adhesive prior to assembling. Cut a 4 7/8 x 4 7/8” piece from the paper collection sheet 4A and adhere to the inside of the box. Finish folding at all score lines and adhere to form the shadow box. Adhere the shadow box to the left side of the card front using dries clear adhesive.
