Shadow Box Easel Windows 3D Kit - Christmas Bluebirds
These kits brings shadow box cards into an easel concept, with additional elements in front of the card to give even more 3D depth and effect.
This range is built around a 'view from a window' idea, allowing the viewer to peep through into another world outside.
As with most of my kits, every one comes with a large assortment of greetings and relationship tiles, making them really versatile and suitable for almost every occasion, such as birthdays, anniversaries, get well wishes, mother's day, father's day, thinking of you, thank you etc.
They are really easy to make, fold flat and every kit includes a simple to follow tutorial, which can also be seen in the forum tutorials section. The completed cards will fit into an A5/C6 envelope.
This is a new design for Christmas 2012, with a view through the window of a vintage sleepy snowy village. In front of the window is a beautiful arrangement holly and winter bluebirds, set with a satin bow.
Perfect for anyone you want to make feel really special, but can be as simple or as complex to make as you choose.

I printed the design onto good quality 255gsm photographic paper and cut it out. I scored and folded the design as instructed. I cut out the window panes and added acetate behind to give the appearance of glass.
I scored and folded the window box as instructed and attached this to the base design using strong double sided tape.
I assembled the decoupage using thin foam tape. I added the bow and the greeting using thin foam tape. I made the two cuts on the base of the easel where indicated.
I threaded the small decoupage panel tab through the front slit and secured underneath using strong double sided tape. I added glitter to the candle flames to enhance this lovely card.
I printed all the sheets onto 200gsm photo paper except the bottom sheet, which I printed onto 160gsm card. I cut out and assembled the card as per the instructions adding all the decoupage using foam pads. I finished with a sentiment and gold stickles to the candle flames.
These shadow card kits from Valerie are really striking and will say 'you are special' to the recipient.
