Hello my sweet and crafty friends! I'm here to share a super fun project with you! I think you're going to love it! I am so excited to share my Cute and Crafty Shadowbox project!! Have you seen the awesome Doodlebug shadow boxes and inserts? What a cool concept! I knew right away I wanted to make one for my craft room. So of course I chose the Cute and Crafty Insert!! This came together so quickly and easily and it looks cute on the shelf in my room. I also think this would make an excellent gift. There are so many inserts – for a baby shower gift, or a Christmas gift, or for someone who loves Halloween! I also really think this could be a fun group project to do with your friends. Be sure to check out all of them! (Here's a direct link to all the inserts)! Doodlebug has made it so easy to make this. I think it took me 30 minutes total! Yay for quick and cute, right??
I chose the brown frame for my project. I splattered on some white paint for a bit of an artistic look. (you know me with the splatters!) You could also easily paint your frame any color – and I may paint mine – but I'll decide later! The key is you can buy one frame and then you just switch out the inserts as the season changes…. The frames come in white, black and brown. The insert pack comes with everything you need to put it together. Here's my finished project!
I added some cute flowers and a sentiment to the bottom corner of my frame! Adorable paper flowers from Doodlebug of course! I tacked them on lightly with glue globs so I can take them off when/if I switch out the insert.
In this photo you can see the finished shadow box effect! Isn't this the most fun thing ever???
Here is the frame and the insert kit….
The kit comes with a sheet of vellum and a pattern… Then you place the pattern behind the vellum as a guide, and attach all the goodies!! I swapped out some of the stickers with glossy hearts and glossy flowers from other Sprinkles packs. Some of my elements are popped up with foam tape. The guide shows you where!!
Here is my started project…. See how I attached the vellum to the guide sheet with washi? SO SIMPLE!
And here it is DONE!! Before you place it in your frame you need to back the vellum with paper… You can choose white paper, or any other color. OF COURSE I chose some cheerful yellow gingham to back mine!!!
This makes me ridiculously happy….
My shadow box frame is sitting on a shelf in my craft room!! A great gift for your crafty friends!!!
The back comes allllllll ready for framing! A nice touch!!
That's it for me today! This is going to be a VERY busy week!!! I have blog posts almost every day! I told you I was busy making a lot of things!! Thanks for hanging out here with me. Let's have an awesome week together! Love ya! XOXO
