Hi crafters! Whether you have little ones around or not, you have to admit that these baby dies are just so sweet! I do have to own up to the maternal instincts that were kicking in while I was making these cards! LOL I started this one by cutting the
New Arrival die in white and adding mounting foam to raise it for dimension and create the boxes. I decided on a horizontal orientation for the card then used a pastel palette and cut the blocks in different shades and added them to the smallest four boxes. I used the
It's A Boy and It's AGirl die, cut in the traditional pink and blue and nipping away the "It's A" portions and added those to the longer narrow boxes. For the largest opening, I used the
Stuffed Animal dies. I added the lion and giraffe n the box diagonally and finished off by adding the cute little elephant to the outside corner. The shadow boxes look fab even when you add items on top of opening and edges! The card was completed by a simple white on white mat with piercing. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue and crafters all,
ReplyDeleteTruly beautiful shadow box card today, I love these New Arrival and stuffed animal dies!!!
I made christening and 1st birthday cards for my great niece. Everyone that saw them said never seen anything like them before,
also the Onsie and the curved lattice frame.
So thank you Sue for your hard work designing them all!!!!!!!!
Pam - hope you have a good day at work with Barbara today, I guess your team will be sad to see her go. Hope you are well.
June Smith - glad you enjoyed your Christmas craft club knees up, hope you had a boogie!!!! How is your new knee.
Peter was not very good yesterday and through the night. Still problems trying to find something nice to eat and drink. It seems to be Rice crispies and cold milk at the moment.
Love and crafty hugs to all fellow bloggers who have suffered loss or are in pain or distress.
Love
Tina T xxxx 😴

So many things you can do with these pretty shadow box cards! I just love them! Darling baby card!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteLove these die sets I have the onsie and animals as we have a step great grandchild due in march so I'm looking for ideas
Thank you each and everyone for all your kind words and wishes I'm taking each day as it comes, having to tick the widow box on forms upsets me, funeral booked for the 28th they have his age wrong in our local paper so I've got that to sort out
Love and huge hugs to you all
Love Tina xxxxx
Good morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteA very cute card, I love the soft pastel colours and beautiful stitched details. X
Gorgeous card! I love these shadow box dies and the little things that go in them especially the animals. Debra x
ReplyDeleteHaven't taken the plunge into shadow boxes yet but I ordered the animals some time ago. Some packages get across the Atlantic in 6 days, others take weeks. Just got my new Spellbinders Platinum and it works just as well as yours does in the videos, Sue. I thought you might have engineers that keep yours tuned. You should get a cut from Spellbinders for selling their machines. At least they should supply you with new cutting plates. I protect mine by using sections of those cheap chopping mats that are so thin you can roll them up. Cut them to the size you want. They make great shims too. I cut striped nasturtiums and two layers of stitched flags for 30 Christmas cards without putting a scrarch on my cutting plates. Thanks for being the highlight of my day!
ReplyDelete-- Donita in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the U.S.
Great idea about saving those cutting plates. Thanks

ReplyDeleteHi Sue. I don't have children, but I can't resist stopping at looking at all the tine shoes for toddlers when I go into a shoe shop and I get the same feeling when looking at your new arrival cards. They are exactly the images I would choose to include on any new baby card or for birthday cards for very young children.
