corner and flowers again

hi everyone,
welcome new and old followers, while since I blog a card, this one today is why, do you every get a idea for a card, then it takes you days to do it, took  1.1/2 hours to make a template from 16"x16" card, but I did manage to get this card from A3, overall size is 11.1/4" x 11.1/4" square,  this was all to use  Heartfelt creations "Decorative Blossom Corners" again.

this is the outside finished card


this is the inside.



close up of the card inside

in all I had to cut 8 corners. the outside corners were embossed, then inked through, then I attached the corners.  flowers are from the Sun kissed Fleur collection, again I stamped and cut 4 lots, this set from heartfelt is one of the easiest to do as the stamp and die cuts in one.

items used are all available from here at  oyster stamps

shadow box.. useing spellbinder square dies.

hi everyone,
thought I would share how I made this shadow box.

you will need for this 6"x6" box card 3..A4  card  or  1..A4 card plus 12"x12" card. this is for the card. I used 2 A4  ..1 @ 6"x6" and  1@ 6"x 7", score this at 1", glue to  6"x6" for a card size 12" x 6".

spellbinder grand square and classic square dies for embossing, gives a perfect square ..
6"..5"..4"..3".. size`s

Shadow box
card size 8"x8" ..score 1/2" then 1"  all side`s, then find the centre, use SB size 3" and 4" as shown.



cut away corners as shown.
 
next cut a diagonal line from corners.
 
use  nesties size 5" for a square and score 1/2" all 4 sides, this is your box, for you image`s or flowers etc..
 
This is the reverse of the box which will be attached to your main card.. or you can use a piece of 6"x6" card and add a stand6"x6" card and add a stand.
 
box with side`s glued 
This is how your finished card would look, on this I made a frame 1" wide with nesties 4" and 6"
hope you have found this useful,  this is my first shadow box, will be making more, on my blog is the card I made ..
