A2 Folding Shadow Box Card | Stamping Bella

Hi all! Today I'm sharing how I made this Folding Shadow Box Card featuring the NEW Guinea on a Bicycle and Cherry Blossom Branch rubber stamps. The Guinea is mounted on an action wobbler so this is a fun interaction card that folds up into a 4.25" x 5.5" card and fits neatly into an A2 envelope. 

Supplies:

Guinea on a Bicycle rubber stamp

Cherry Blossom Branch rubber stamp

White Card

Distress Oxide Inks - Twisted Citron and Tumbled Glass

Scoring board and bone folder. 

Precision scissors

Adhesive

Action Wobbler

Grass Border and Clouds dies. 

How to:

Stamp Guinea on a Bicycle and the Cherry Blossom Branch on to white card. Ink up just the envelope from the Guinea on a Bicycle and stamp  it numerous times on a scrap piece of white card. 

Colour all the images and fussy cut using a precision scissors and a craft knife. 

Set the images aside. 

For the box base, cut a piece of card measuring 8.5" x 9.75". Score on all four sides at 2-1/8". Taper the edges of the 0.5" tabs. 

For the side pieces, cut 2x pieces of card measuring 2-5/8" x 5.5". Score both pieces at 0.5" on the short side. 

Fold and  burnish all the score lines on the large piece of card. 

Along the 8.5" side, mark the half way point - 4.25", on both the top and bottom. 

Using a ruler and stylus, score diagonally from the 4.25" mark down to the intersection of the score lines

On the 9.75" side, cut on the score lines, up to the intersecting line. Taper the edges of the four corner tabs. 

Fold back the diagonal score lines

Apply adhesive to the outside of the corner tabs and adhere to the adjacent box side. 

Take the 2-5/8" x 5.5" and fold the 0.5 section under. Ink the 2-1/8" section to create a grass/sky effect. 

Cut two pieces of card measuring 2" x 5-3/8" and one piece measuring 4-1/8" x 5-3/". Ink them the same as the box sides. 

Adhere the 2-5/8" x 5.5" pieces to the outside of each side of the box. 

Push in the sides to fold up the box. 

Ink some more white card and cut some grass using grass border die. Cut some clouds 

Arrange the grass and clouds on the box

Then add the Cherry Blossom Branch

Attach an action wobbler to the back of the Guinea on a Bicycle and adhere into the box. 

Add the sentiment and the extra envelopes to complete the box.
