SSSSShiver Me Timbers! is right! It’s been so hot in Iowa this Summer! I think the heat effects my creativity! eek! This card took a few twists and turns before it turned into this diorama style card!
I used my Coluzzle templates to cut the ovals… Kraftin’ Kimmie Pirate Phrases stamp set…Tim Holtz screw brads around the oval frame…Martha Stewart Shells border punch…Hero Arts woodgrain background stamp.
The card/diorama is 5/8 inch deep, so you can move it to make it flat (folds down to 6×6) to fit in an envelope! Love this style of card… I made one for Christmas when I was the guest designer for All That Scraps back in Nov. ’09, HERE. Years ago I made a snowman scene that I still keep out on top of a bookcase! lol
Here’s the back… this is going to our Grandson Henry for his 5th birthday. Today is our Granddaughter Gena’s 4th birthday and my dear friend Alice’s birthday too! Happy Birthday to YOU!
Linking to Just Magnolia Challenge blog… Anything Goes is the theme, Papertake Weekly Challenge blog…Anything Goes – add metal is the theme and Cute Card Thursday Challenge blog…No designer paper is the theme.
Here’s the stamps and stuff I used to create this card…
