Ink.Stamp.Share Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Ink Stamp Share Blog Hop! 

The theme today is celebration - and we have lot's of projects to share with you.

I've had a little break from work and crafting and just got back from a lovely holiday to Cornwall. 

Here's a picture from St Ives.... the water was so clear, the sky was blue and the sun was shining. Heaven!

I have a few cards to share with you that I made before our trip and then tomorrow I've got a day in my craft room and I can't wait.  

I've created this fun shadow box card with the Happiness Abounds bundle from Stampin' Up!

The sentiment 'Wishing you all the happiness you can imagine' would be perfect for a wedding card. This is from the Happiness Abounds stamp set.

If you have never made a Shadow Box card before I'd encourage you to give it a try. 

The next few pictures show the 3D aspect of this card that folds flat!

I don't have a video tutorial for this card design but I do have a video tutorial for an alternative design which has exactly the same card base. In my tutorial you'll see I flipped the card to landscape but trust me it is the same design as this one, skip to 4 minutes for the tutorial.

If you would find this useful, click here for the tutorial.

You can see here an overheard picture of the card which better demonstrates the card dimension.

To decorate my card I've used the Hues of Happiness DSP. 

There are some wonderfully floral patterns, some which can be cut out with the Blossoming Happiness dies, some to fussy cut if  you wish and some which are perfect as a background.

I've used several dies - Scalloped Contour dies, Layering Circle dies and the new Stylish shapes dies.

I've added some White Organdy Glitter ribbon which you can just about make out in this picture.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog - I hope you enjoyed my project today!
