Shadow Box Card

Hello friends – welcome to another Scor-Pal tutorial. Today I will show you how I made this shadow box card. I used a die from Memory Box called Underwater Scene. If you do not have this die you can use a regular circle die with either fish dies or fish stamps.

Start with two pieces of cardstock measuring 6.25″ x 5.25″. On the long side score at .5″, 1.0″, 5.25″ and 5.75″. Fold and burnish the score lines using an accordion fold.

One piece will be the top and one will be the bottom. Take the top piece and use a plain circle die that is just a bit smaller than the Memory Box die and cut a circle in the center. Stamps images on the front – I used versamark ink and some sea plant stamps. Once your stamping is done, add the Memory Box die to the front (just the circle portion, the fish will be added later.)

Take the bottom piece and add patterned paper to the inside using scor-tape. This piece measures 5.5″ x 4.25″.

Attach the top and bottom pieces on the left side ONLY with Scor-tape. Leave the right side unattached for now.

Open the card and place the fish die cuts where they can be seen through the opening when the top of the card is folded over. You may need to do some trial and error to get the perfect placement. I used foam tape to attach the fish die cuts.

Once the fish are attached, fold the top over and tape the right side of the card.

Add a sentiment or other embellishments to the front as desired.
