Adjustable Shadowbox Frame
with 1" Border Etched Dies Shadowbox by Becca Feeken is a set of five dies
including a left-side and a right-side each of the straight edge border frame
and mitered edge border frame, plus an accent piece.
The card I
made is sort of like a book. I created the frame from a piece of 12x12
patterned scrapbook paper.
To create the
frame: cut two each of the border frames. The distance between the two matching
dies determines the length of the border frame. (For a 6 x 6-inch frame, cut
two 6-inch from each of the border frames. A 5 x 7-inch frame, cut two 5-inch
straight edge border frame and cut two 7-inch mitered edge border frame.) Fold
the frames into a tube and adhere, place adhesive on tabs and create the frame.
For the back, measure the frame, trim cardstock and adhere to back. Die-cut
Accent Piece for added decorative element.
I made the
little scene on the inside of the frame using thee Shapeabilities Layered Sweet Birdie Thanks Scenedies. I thought they were perfect for Spring! I put the two
bottom layers inside the frame using thin strips of foam tape. Then I cut
a few extra birds and flowers and used them on the frame also. There are
so many possibilities with this frame die set.
For the cover
of my card/book, I die cut the top piece into the cardstock. Now, you can
do this a few different ways. I measured the distance from the edge of
the frame and used that as my guide where to cut. You could also just use
a larger piece of paper to cut it, and then trim it to fit your piece.
Either way will work just fine.
I added some
ribbon as a closure to my card. I decided to keep this really simple, yet
elegant.
I will admit,
when I first looked at these dies, I was a bit intimidated, but the frame was
super simple to assemble…trust me, I did it, so can you!
