I’m so excited to be a Heffy Friend today! I’ve got a really fun interactive card. Thank you, Jennifer McGuire for recently sharing a pop-up shadowbox tutorial with us! If you’d like to see a video tutorial, you can check out Jennifer’s video HERE.

I used the really cute Big Bug Hugs stamp and die set for today’s project. These little bugs were just too cute and I know I needed lots of elements to fill my shadow box.

I stamped and colored my images using Copic markers and die-cut the images and set them aside to work on the shadow box. To create the shadowbox, you’ll need two panels cut to 6 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. Place these panels, one at a time, into a score board in landscape orientation and score at 1/2″, 1″, 5 3/4″, and 6″. After scoring both panels, you’ll burnish the folds first away from you, then towards you to create a “z”. When the two are put together, the card front and back form a box with the ends sticking out in the center.

I took one of the panels to create the front window. I used an oval die and cut out the window, then used a smaller oval and die cut a second window from light blue cardstock to create a frame. The sentiment is also stamped and embossed on black cardstock and adhered between the card frame and card front.

To create the background, I sponged some ink using a cloud stencil. and then Next, I die-cut grass accents for the frame and background inside the box. I adhered a small piece of grass to the card front and the other to the inside panel.

I then gathered all my images and adhered them in various places on and inside the shadowbox to create the fun spring scene. The bee is adhered to a strip of acetate and its end, adhered/sandwiched between the two panels on the left side. Once I knew where I wanted the bee, I added double sided tape to the 1/2″ strips on each side and adhered them together.
