This is a fold I rarely use.  I like it, but the disadvantage of it is that it's not as easily displayed by whoever receives it.

More Beautiful Gallery dsp.  This is the other half of dsp that I used on a card a few days ago.

Thank you for coming by today!

 

 If you look closely, you can see a gold metal bird in each of the sections.  I love this SU Beautiful Gallery designer series paper.  It is perfect for making a card using nearly all of a 6 x 6 piece of dsp.

SHADOW BOX CARD

Mary Knabe has one of the videos on YouTube for making one of these.

 

I didn't remember to make a note of where I saw this fold, but I believe it was when I did a search on YouTube that I watched a video.  

I'll try to explain.  The card base is 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4" and 2 1/8".  The large piece on the front  is then made with a 5" x 3 3/4" dsp on a 5 1/4" x 4" mat.  Adhesive or glue is then added only to the left portion of the scenery and added to the left 2 1/8" section. (Does that make sense?)

For the inside, I added a Very Vanilla piece measuring 5 1/4" x 4".  A strip for the same dsp that continued the pattern was added to the right side of the inside.  It measured 1 1/2" x 5".

 I used a 3" x 5 1/4" piece of the dsp which I adhered to the card base on the left side.  I then embossed a 1 1/4" strip of Mossy Meadow card stock and added it next tI had a scrap of the dsp that worked well to cover the seam between the two papers.  The sentiment was added.  Quick and easy!

NOTE:  When I make cards, I take a photo of them and place them in a computer file for my blog.  I date them for when I want to post them and this one got scheduled out of order.  Actually, this is not from the "Beautiful Gallery" paper collection as I had mentioned yesterday.  It was a loose piece from another SU designer paper collection "Blackberry Beauty".

The cards over the next few days WILL BE from the "Beautiful Gallery" collection.
