Shadow Box Fireplace Card

Katy here with An Inside To My Heart with a card of sorts to share!

I created this 3D card using the PPPR Shadow Box Card 2 and the Fireplace cutting file. I tweaked the file a little using Cricut Design Space so that the battery-operated tealight would show through the back.

------------------------------------------

There are a bunch of little details that make this card so unique...let's start with the layers that create so much dimension...then I added velum behind the flame so the tealight would light it up (here you can see the opaqueness).

----------------------------------------------------------

Here's the top view...I used a 2-1/2" circle punch to punch a hole in the back so the tealight could fit under and shine through...

---------------------------------------------------

Here's a look at the back of the card...this is where I would write a sentiment!

-------------------------------------------------------

And...this card is made to lay flat for mailing! You would still want to add extra postage so they'll hand-cancel and nothing will get torn.

Thanks for stopping by!

Don't forget that you have until December 5th to enter a Holiday-themed project using PPPR files into our Monthly Challenge! You could win some FREE PPPR files too! And...it doesn't have to be Christmas...it can be ANY HOLIDAY!

Here are the files I used and the links to go grab them:

Shadow Box Card 2

Happy Birthday, Old Chap!

Happy Monday!  Today is my design team day over at Pink by Design, and I have a fun shadow card to share with you today.  Here it is:

When I saw this cute little mustache-y mushroom from the Lettering Delights Bloom and Growl Cut It Set, I knew that I had to get out my Pink by Design Mustaches Stamp Set (that's where I got the sentiment and the little stamped mustache).  The shadow card base and the banner came from the Silhouette Online Store.  The banner turned out to be a little big for my sentiment, so I added some brads to fill in the empty space.  Oh, I also stamped the circle with my Pink by Design Houndstooth Background Stamp.

Just for kicks, I added this cute sentiment from my Pink by Design Plum Perfect Stamp Set to the inside.  I'm hoping it will be a fun little surprise for the recipient of the card.

Here's another view of the card so you can see how the shadow card works.  You can flatten it out and mail it easily.  

So, that's my little card...I hope you like it!  By the way, you don't want to miss the Pink by Design Ustream and Stamp Release on Friday, April 20.  There are TONS of great sets coming out, including a couple of REALLY SPECIAL ones that I can't WAIT to share with you!!!!!!  So excited!  I hope you'll stop by for the release! :)
