Happy Birthday to You

Hi Bloggers.

I have a weave and a shadow box for you today -

This was a demo card from the weaving shows that I did on Hochanda earlier this month.

I started by stamping one of the stamps from the Justrite Playful Painted Trio Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card 3 times using CS Summer Sky Colour Cloud applied using a Smoothie. Once the ink was dry, I cut Sue Wilson's Classic Weaving Die from it. I cut the Classic Weaving Die again out of Coconut White Card and this one I ran through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine with the Couture Creations Velvet Tea Lights Embossing Folder. I then wove the embossed die cut through the stamped one in a simple one by one weave.

I cut Sue's Happy Birthday Shadow Box with the inserts included to cut the apertures and added it to my woven background using 3D Foam Tape.

I made a frame using dies #2 and #4 from Sue's Scalloped Lattice Frames Set B and added it to the shadow box using 3D Foam Tape again and trimmed away the excess using scissors (you may spot that I didn't quite line this up right - I blame it on the counters at Hochanda (even the low ones) and no time to faff!). I popped this onto a Coconut White Card blank.

I cut the sentiment dies and some of the little dies in the Shadow Box Set out of Aqua Card.



Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    Hi Julia
    Great card, I would never have thought of putting the woven backgrounds behind the shadow box. Thanks for sharing your idea.

    Good morning Julia and crafters all,
    Very pretty card today. The weaving dies are so versatile.
    If you are not quite straight shows it is 'handmade' rather than 'homemade'
    Love and crafty hugs to all

    Hello Julia.

    Lovely Card. Some of my favourites here, weaving dies and the embossing is great and you can't loose with a shadow box in my opinion. Thanks for sharing.

    Best wishes
