Stampin with Shirley G

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Grassy Grove Stamp Set and the Grove Dies along with the tree dies from the Majestic Mountain Dies.

I am entering the Creative Crease Challenge — theme Anything Goes with a Fun Fold.

I suppose you can call this a fun fold card since it is a shadowbox card.   Susan Levasseur has a great Youtube video that shows the creation of this card.  I found it very helpful after I goofed putting the first one together per my thinking, I made another one after seeing Susan’s video. I realized what I had done the second it was glued down. The card above is a great card without making it into a shadowbox.

I started with a card base of Basic White card stock, cutting one panel 5- 1/2″ x 10- 1/2″, scored on the 10- 1/2″ side at 1/2″, 4″, 4 -1/2″, and 8″. Cut one piece 4″ x 5- 1/4″ this will be the card front after you create the shadowbox.

This is a side view of how the card looks after being folded into the shadow box. 

The Embossed Mat is Mossy Meadow card stock cut 3 -3/4″ x 5- 1/4″  Use the Evergreen Forest Embossing Folder to emboss. This panel adheres to the card front over the Basic White card stock.

The greeting on card front is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink on aBasic White card stock scrap using a stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Awesome Otters Stamp Set. Crop using the smallest skinny die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies.

The large mound on the card front is stamped in Cinnamon Cider ink, then cropped and popped on the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals placed along the lower edge of the mound.  This is so you can get the trees and deer behind the mound.

There are two sets of trees one set is colored using Stampin’ Write Markers in Crumb Cake and Old Olive, the other is cropped using dies from the Majestic Mountain Dies and a piece of the green DSP from the New Horizon DSP.  These are then adhered to the card front and under the edge of the mound.  The clouds are from the Majestic Mountain Dies also and are cropped from a panel of the Simply Marvelous DSP (a free product during Sale-A-Bration with a $50 purchase).

This is another view of the fold.

These are the dies used to create the inside of the card.

The background mat forms the sky and grasses is a panel New Horizon DSP cut at 5- 1/2″ x 3- 1/2″. 

Cut a panel New Horizon DSP  5- 1/2″ x  3- 1/2″, cut at the mark on the cutter that is just before the 3-1/2” mark. Cut both pieces of the New Horizon DSP the same size.  This is the piece cropped to create the tree scene of the shadowbox. Adhere an Adhesive Sheet panel to the DSP then adhere to the Basic White card stock to crop using the largest dies from the Grove Die Set.  This creates the trees.

Press a 2” x 3” piece of Basic White card stock on the Cinnamon Cider ink pad, let dry, crop using baby deer die from the Grove Die Set. All deer, one standing, the baby, and the deer laying down are all stamped in Cinnamon Cider ink.

The inside sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Flowering Tulips Stamp Set is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink on a 3″ x 4″ piece of Basic White card stock and cropped using a die from the Scalloped Contour Die Set.  The leaves from the Grove Die Set are cropped from the scraps of New horizon DSP that is left when the inside panel of the card is cropped.

The DSP on the envelope flap is a panel from the Expressions in Ink DSP embossed using the Evergreen Forest Embossing Folder.
