Shark in a Box

5/23/2019

1 Comment

 
 In hindsight, I probably should have saved today's card to share in July during "Shark Week," but, it's simply too cool NOT to share now!  Last week I mentioned that I was very interested in creating cards with unique folds, outside of a traditional book fold.  I shared this easel card recently and there will be more easel cards to come.  But, today's card?  Holy WOW!  This "fold" is called a "box card" and I made it using the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box Pop Up Lawn Cuts.

Sure, it might look very detailed and impossible, but, if you break it down, one image at a time, it is not difficult to create.  Time consuming, yes, but challenging no.  Most of the time involved is simply a matter of coloring all the images and die cutting them out.  However, the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box die makes it really easy to create the box card base.  Then, it's all just a matter of adding layers and images until you create a desired scene.

Here is the "Hello Chum" stamp set by Avery Elle that I used to create today's card:

Below is the box folded flat.  It would fit into a regular A2 sized envelope (if that palm tree weren't quite sticking out!)  But, let's face it, I'm not sending this card to anyone after the hours of work it took to complete!

I really hope you enjoy today's "shark in a box" card! 
Please join me on Saturday, June 15th and you can make this card too!  Can't make this class?  For a list of other upcoming events, please click HERE.
