Creating Kindness Blog Hop - Shadow Box card

HELLO friends! Welcome to the Creating Kindness Around the World Hop. CREATING KINDNESS: We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world who have come together to inspire you to create kindness through cardmaking and paper. Every month we create around a theme or idea and this months theme is SHADOWBOX card. And, every month, we invite a guest to design with us. Our guest designer is the amazing Heike Bolze!

Shadowbox. What does it mean?
NOUN 1. a case with a protective transparent front, used for displaying jewelry, coins, or other small objects.

I’ve tried to emulate that look on my first ever attempt at a shadow box. The ‘case or container’ is the card. My ‘transparent front’ is the open window frame created with the Stitched Rectangle die. And the small objects for display are the various flowers, birds and the sentiment from the ‘Free As A Bird’ stamp set. Pretty simple if you follow the formula. I really loved working on this card and will definitely try this again.

There are many ways to create this look. Fortunately many of my friends on this hop have videos that share how they created their cards. Hopefully these get your brain spinning and help you making your own version of a shadowbox card. Thanks for stopping by!

One color wonder - I stamped the little birdie image on coldpress watercolor paper in Golden Glow ink and then pulled that color through the images with a water brush. I love easy technique to quickly add color. Bird image & sentiment are from the Cutest Crew stamp set. #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakingreels #cutestcrew

Golden Glow. I'm going to try to create a series of one color cards using the new Stampin' Up! InColors. Today I'm showcasing Golden Glow. This new color is a soft warm light gold. It is a calming color and I think it is very a nice addition to the yellows. Those cute bird images are from the 'Cutest Crew' stamp set. Need a reason to make? We have a animal theme @global.design.project #gdp551 Play along with us this week! Looking for more inspiration on this Monday? My Monday Montage friends are sharing a bunch of fun new ideas. Next up is Cheryl @nukumach1 Hopping today are: Anja @1stampingnightowl Bree @craftsomnia Charlet @i.heart.stamps - that's me!

Punches for the win. I needed a graduation card so I used two punches from Stampin’ Up! To create the graduation cap. The cap tassle is created using baker’s twine. Modern Oval & Tailored Tag punch. #useyourstash #graduationcard #cardmakingreels
It's been weeks since I created a card and it felt good to sit down and make something. It's graduation season and cards are needed!  I pulled together a few punches and the Bordered in Beauty bundle to create. This card works for two challenges this
It's been weeks since I created a card and it felt good to sit down and make something. It's graduation season and cards are needed! I pulled together a few punches and the Bordered in Beauty bundle to create. This card works for two challenges this week. I'm playing along with @tgifchallenges color challenge using Night of Navy, Granny Apple Green and Smopky Slate. The card layout was inspired by the challenge sketch for @global_design_project #gdp550 #stampinup #cardmaking #graduationcard
