Welcome to the North Pole

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. Being a brand new month it is time to introduce our new challenge hostess which is Maryann Einam.

Our challenge this week is ......

Shadow box card - This card has been around for a lot of years but lately I have noticed some modern twists to it, so give us your version of a shadow box card.

For my card today I decided to use the Lawn Fawn Shadow Box die set and create a similar card that I made in July where I placed the shadow box die cut into the card. You can see my previous card here. 

The finished size of my card is 14.8cm (5 7/8inches)  x 7cm (2 7/8inches), I was able to use Australian A4 card, however if you are in the USA you would probably need to use 12 inch cardstock.

To decorate my card I used a stamp set I purchased last year which came with Simon Says Stamps Card Kit, I knew when I purchased the the stamp set that it would arrive too close to Christmas to use so it was good to be able to get it out to create this card today.

For the back of the shadow box part of the card I created sky panels by using distress oxide inks and then splatting the panels with white paint to give the look of falling snow.

I added a sentiment panel with another Christmas tree to the left hand side of the shadow box.

On the right hand side of the card I added the "Welcome to The North Pole" which is from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Here is an overhead view of my card so you can see a little more of inside of the shadow box.

For the front of the card, I created another sky background and added a snow border. I added Santa, a Christmas Tree and another welcome sign.
