Shadow Boxes- Part 2

Hi All,
So here are few more of the shadow boxes I made for my daughter. She is writing little individual notes on a card to go with them. 

They were cut using my Cricut Maker. The shadow boxes are all 8x8 inches. Here I used 65-80 lb core coloured cardstock from recollections and cricut. In some I used cricut glitter cardstock and glitter permanent vinyl. To stick them I used foam pop dots, spray glue and Aleenens original tacky glue. 

Hope you all did enjoy these shadow boxes!!

Questions and feedbacks are always appreciated..

Shadow Boxes- Part 1

 Hi Everyone, 

Last few days I was busy making shadow boxes for one of my daughter. She will be finishing her primary school and be going into elementary school. Gosh time flies... I remember when she was born, can't believe she will be in 3rd grade next academic year. So we wanted to give something special to her teachers as a thank you and I do not believe in giving gift cards. I feel gift cards are very impersonal but this is completely me, so please do not take it personally. 

So here are the shadow boxes I made. 

These were designed by Cindy Duke and I added my own flair to them. They were cut using my Cricut Maker. The shadow boxes are all 8x8 inches. Here I used 65-80 lb core coloured cardstock from recollections and cricut. In some I used cricut glitter cardstock and glitter permanent vinyl. To stick them I used foam pop dots, spray glue and Aleenens original tacky glue.

Hope you enjoyed seeing them as much I enjoyed creating them!!

Dragonflies

Hi Everyone,

I am here today with another shadow box. The image is from design space. I thought it was perfect for spring. I think I've told you all how much I love spring. 

Though this image was perfect...but I felt it needed more colours, so this is my take on it.

Also as you see I have made both of these a bit different. On the top image you see the black outline of the dragonflies is different from the dragonflies in the image below, It's because I was experimenting to see if permanent vinyl will stick to glitter card stock and how will it look. I think it looks pretty nice and also stuck very well.

On both the projects I used 65lb solid core card stock and glitter card stock from Recollections and Cricut, printed card stock for the background and various size foam pop dots as spacers. 

Hope you enjoy this shadow box as much as I enjoyed...

Check Free File folder for the link. 

If you are a Cricut access member it will cut for free.

Please do not share the digital file. For personal use only.

P.s: Comments and feedback is very much appreciated..

Owl Shadow box

This is a 10 layered svg owl file. I loved the way it came out. Here I used Bazzill cardstock of two different shades of brown, pop dots of different sizes, my cricut maker with premium fine point blade. The size of the shadow box was 12x12inch.

I made this in two different colours. For the white one I used recollections plain white cardstock and cricut glitter cardstock. Also for the white owl I used 13x13inch frame. 

This svg file again was bought on Etsy from FabricutVectorFiles, as I have still not mastered making my own svg file. Maybe some day- keeping my fingers crossed!!

Most of these shadow boxes I create go to Wild Wings, which is a not-for-profit organisation. Here they take care of wild birds (including birds of prey) which were injured at some point and would not survive in the wild on their own.

Millennium Falcon- Shadow Box

Hi guys, here is another of my post.  

I made this shadow box sometime ago for my nephew who is a star-wars fan. Before I made this I had no clue what star-wars was about. I am really proud of how it came out because this is the first shadow box where I used lights.

This is how it looks when the lights are on. 

I purchased the file from LaserCraftum on Etsy. The file has six layers. I used 65lb cricut and recollections cardstock, Pop dots to give a 3d effect. The box size is 12x12inch
