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.

Over the next few days I will be posting a few cards using some of the papers from the SU "Beautiful Gallery" 6 x 6 paper pack.

I just realized this morning that I had not posted anything since this past Monday.  Somehow time got away from me but by back-dating some posts there are now cards shown for the missing days this week.  Maybe you want to check them out as well.

This week's video from Rita Holmes encouraged us to use multiple dies on a card.  She made a card pretty much like.  This card uses 4 dies, a punch and a manually made banner.  I did forget to add the little piece with a sentiment like Rita did just under the cute little birds.

I had purchased the "Cutest Crew" stamps a while ago.  I don't know if I missed seeing the dies or thought at the time I didn't need them.  Well it is a lot easier to cut out the cute little figures on that stamp set if you have the dies!
