Magical Frog Shadow Box Card

Hello Scrappy Tails Crafters! I have a fabulous shadow box card to share using the new Fairy Botanicals stamp set! Can you say love? Oh my goodness this is only the first project I have to share from the Midnight Summer’s Night release! When I placed my original design team order, and then once I saw the products, I went back and ordered the rest of the release! Seriously this is the most creative release I have seen so far and the products are so innovative!

To make this card I searched up a Jennifer McGuire Video to make sure I was making this version of a shadow box card correctly. And yay! I remembered how to. So the long and the short of making this is to add 2 inches to the width to any standard size card and score at 1/2 and 1 inch on both sides of 2 pieces of card stock. This one measures 7.5 in x 4.25 in for an A2 sized card. On one of the layers I traced the A2 cloud cover plate onto the middle section so that I could retro fit a rectangle die in it for the opening. The reason for this is because the cover plate is a full sized panel and would cut the flaps off of the mechanism. See below. I then die cut the A2 cloud cover plate and glued it over the frame.

To create my scene I started out by stamping the images from Fairy Botanicals and colored them with Copics. I also die cut the grass and tiny mushrooms from the Slimline Everyday Borders II die set. Before adhering all of the elements I quickly blended clouds with a stencil from my stash with distress ink. I then creatively stacked the grasses to make three layers. The first layer with the mushrooms is glued to the inside of the front panel to create more dimension. After assembling the card, I stamped and die cut the Magical sentiment from the Fairy Sentiments and Coordinating Die Bundle.

I hope that you have enjoyed this card and will give it a try! For more inspiration please join us on the Scrappy Tails Crafts Facebook page! You will find stunning projects on the Scrappy Tails blogYoutube, and on Instagram!
