Shadow Box Card!

Welcome OCS Fans!

It's Tuesday again so that means it's my turn to post some inspiration for you! Today's card is called a "Shadow Box" card and it was easy and so fun to make! I followed along with Jennifer McGuire's Video and in no time I had this adorable card made! On the front of my card I am using the High Hopes "Teacup Pup".

Of course I had to use papers from the Doodlebug "Puppy Love" 6x6 collection! I mean it was a no brainer as they match my dog theme perfectly! I added a bit of Stickles to the dog bone for a fun element. The sentiment is also from HH and is called "Smiling". A nice brown bow finishes everything off.

Here you can see when you open up the card, a shadow box pops up on the inside. I created a cute little scene on the inside using High Hope's "Prancing Pup", "Puppy Pals" and the "Blossom Tree Branch". I added some inked clouds, Stitched Vally, Grassy Edge and a fence to help create my little scene. Of course the inside had to have sparkle too, so I added Stickles to the flower centres.

Here is a better view of the "shadow box" construction.

I love that the shadow box lays flat for mailing! I added some cute HH  paw prints using the "Cat and Dog Paws" stamp across my envelope flap.

Copics Used:

E50, E51, E53, E55, E57, E59

C00, C1, C3, C4, C5, C7, C9

As it the last week of August, this means that summer is over and school will be starting up again next Tuesday. 

For today's post I have used the adorable Puppy Pals stamp from the "So Much Cuteness" release from High Hopes Stamps.  The looks on the puppies' faces remind me of  when my children were toddlers and did something that put them in the dog house and then it was I didn't do it...but the cat or dog did.

Happy Wednesday One Crazy Stamper Fans! 

This week I would like to introduce you to Puppy Pals from the So Much Cuteness new release from High Hopes. How adorable are these two!! 

I decided to showcase these two cuties in a paw print base - the "toes" are a lot bigger then I wanted them to be but this is the smallest circle die I have and my circle cutter doesn't cut smaller then an inch ... so mental note - buy a circle cutter that cuts smaller then 1 inch <smile> I hope you can still see my vision.

I also can't see myself with a dog in my life so this stamp and sentiment are perfect for me! 

After colouring my stamp with alcohol markers, I cut it out using a classic circle die. I cut the background cardstock with my circle cutter. The paw "pad" is popped up with foam dots to help it stand out. The "toes" to my paw print were cut out and I added a heart to each one. 
A grey Staedler marker was perfect to add some freckles to the puppy just for fun. 
All of this was added to some plaid and heart paper. Some twine and gumdrops finish off my card. 
The images in this new release are perfect for A2 size cards - a size I haven't made in a very long time - so fun to do!!!!
