Let's Party With Chicken Girl Design

This week’s 3D Tuesday challenge at Paper Craft Planet was to make a shadow box card. These are fun and easy to make. I love how these cards fold down flat to fit in a standard A2 envelope. If you’ve never tried to make one before, Tammy’s posted a step by step photo tutorial here.

My shadow box features one of the new releases from Chicken Girl Design, available as a digi image from i {heart} papers. I printed the Kitty Cake image on medium weight Copic blending cardstock and colored the image with Copic markers, using mostly bold, bright shades. I added a bit of Stickles to the candle flame for some sparkle, too.

The shadow box part is made from red cardstock and assembled using i {stick} papers redline tape. I embossed the front with a polka dot embossing folder to add interest. The window opening is cut with a Nestabilities circle die and framed with a blue big scallop circle. For the sentiment, I stamped “let’s party” from the Chicken Girl Design Birthday Wishes clear stamp set (still available at IHP while supplies last) in black ink on a circle panel. The sentiment panel is embellished with a red herringbone twill ribbon and attached to the front of the shadow box.

If you have a chance to play along, upload your shadow box card to the PCP gallery with the keyword 3d61 so that it can be added to the album with the rest of this week’s creations.
