Alien Birthday Shadow Box Card

Today I’m sharing a shadow box card featuring the cute aliens from Lawn Fawn Beam Me Up.

I usually create a galaxy background when I make space related cards, but I thought it would be fun to use some bright colours this time, to create an alien landscape.

I chose some patterned paper from my stash and cut two pieces for the box. I die cut a window in one side, then joined the two box pieces together with double side adhesive to get one long piece.

I measured the width of the panel at the back of the box, and cut some clouds to go directly on this panel (The cloud dies I used are out of stock, but I’ve linked to a great alternative below). I added a little pale blue ink to the tops of the clouds, before adhering them directly on the inside of the box.

Next, I cut two hills from purple patterned paper, using the tab dies that come with the shadow box. I adhered them into the box (just on one side for now). I love the purple alien landscape against the orange sky.

I then coloured lots of images from the Beam Me Up stamp set, adding them to the tabs in the box. I also adhered some images on the inside back and side panels. The planets are from the Lawn Fawn Out of this World stamp set.

Once all the images are in the box, I finished putting the box together. I find it easier to do this part at the end.

For the sentiment, I chose some from the Beam Me Up stamp set, and heat embossed them in white on black card. I then die cut them with some banner dies and adhered them to the box. I’ll add a panel at the back to write a message to the recipient.

The shadow box die is one of my favourite interactive dies. The box is simple to put together, looks great, and fits in a standard size envelope for posting.

Thanks for joining me today,

Big Birthday Balloons

Hello Hello, Jennie here on an actual sunny Bank Holiday Monday!!!

My card today is for one of those BIG birthdays, I thought I'd just spell it out

with rainbow coloured balloons...

These Avery Elle Dies are fun and a great size for personalising cards. I cut all the numbers and letters out of white card and sponged Distress inks over them which meant I could add darker shades around the edges for a 3D effect. The sky has been made by sponging blue ink over the edge of the Lawn Fawn cloud border dies.... I cut myself some re-usable stencils in acetate.... and then MFT bought out a couple of cloud stencils!!! This card is for overseas so I drew the strings on and adhered the balloons flat to the card.

For the inside of the card I couldn't resist this cheeky little sentiment from the Irreverent Birthday stamp set by Hero Arts.... I thought it went well with the balloons as well as the big birthday number!

Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a great day :)

Fairytale Pop-Up

Hello, Gemma here with a pop-up fairytale card to share.

With three nieces, the MFT Once Upon a Time stamp set was a must have for me! I decided to make a pop-up card for a fun surprise when the card is opened. It took a little more time to put together, but I'm really pleased with the end result.

I started by stamping and colouring three of the images from the Once Upon a Time stamp set. I used colouring pencils (my current favourite colouring medium), then fussy cut them out. Some of you in the know may have spotted the pony is Pinky Pie, from My Little Pony. This is my eldest niece's favourite, so I thought she'd enjoy seeing her featured on the card.

For the background, I created some stencils from the Lawn Fawn Puffy Cloud dies, then blended on some MFT pink and purple inks to create a pretty cloudy sky. I used an MFT Grassy Hills border to create the grass, using MFT ink again to blend on colour.

I ran the background and grass through my die cut machine with a scalloped rectangle die and attached to a card base. I then added the images on top.

For the inside, I die cut a rainbow and added ink to each piece. I used some tape to put it back together and some card at the back to make it sturdier. I added two die cut clouds to the rainbow.

I cut a piece of card slightly smaller than the card base and scored in the middle. I blended on the same sky detail as the front of the card. Using the MFT Pop-Up Elements, I cut two pop-ups and attached the rainbow to them. There are both narrow and wide pop-up element dies available so I'll add links at the end of the post, as either would work well here.

Once this piece was adhered to the inside of the card, I added a banner with a gold heat embossed greeting, made up from two sentiments in the Once Upon a Time stamp set.

To finish the card, I added some sequins and hearts above the princess and the pony.
