Today is a card that was commissioned, a Double Shadow box card. Although I cannot give instructions as they are not practical for written instructions only, (you really need to see a video to make the card) I thought you may like to see the finished item.
If you really like it and want to have a go making it, check out Sam Calcott - Mixed up Craft, on YouTube.
For those of you who are familiar with Shadow Box Frames these are simply 2 put together, but the tips from Sam are useful to get the flexibility in the spine for opening and closing.
The person who commisioned this card had seen it before and wanted it so the frames could be used for pictures after the Birthday. The recipient is a crafter, and so the flowers for the front were placed onto a square of card and only glued to the ribbon, thereforeo if they wished to change the front of the frames the flowers could be used for another project
The Greeting is mounted on one dimensional sticky pad for ease of removal and the stamped layer on the other side is only glued on the bottom seam, enabling a a picture to be added on top or the whole layer removed for the picture.
I then made a little greeting notelet that sits in the fold of the left side, for the person to write their message.
Back soon with a very simple gift/mail box, that is quick to make.
Happy Crafting
Dee
