A Creative Approach Podcast

A Die-cut Mixed Media Christmas Shadow Box

Did you know that I wanted to make this mixed media shadowbox last Christmas. But this Katelyn Lizardi Sizzix die set was in such high demand that I couldn’t get it in my hands until September this year! The beauty is that this die-set let’s you make two different shadowbox designs which you can then collapse and flatten and send as a card in an A9 envelope. It will pop right back up to become a shadowbox when you take it out of the envelope.

Katelyn has a video that explains how-to if you need any guidance. Something like this would look pretty with holiday-themed patterned papers, plain cardstock as well as in a more mixed media style as I prefer.

The shadow box is about 1.5 inches deep which means you can add several layers inside with elements that are also included in the die-set. I had oodles of fun with this and it took me a couple of hours to complete mainly because I had to wait for the paints to dry.

Blog Series: Christmas Inspiration Day 5: Light Vignette

Welcome to the 5th and final day of my Blog Series – Christmas Inspiration! And today’s project is a little light vignette. Of all the projects I posted this week, this one is my FAVORITE! So, I saved it for the last day and also made a video on i-movie to show you how fun this is. Play the video to see for yourself!

I’m listing the supplies I used. Feel free to choose from your stash. I want to give you some starting points and not directions, so you can explore freely. If you do create some projects along with me, please use the hashtag #mousaha and tag me on Instagram @mou.saha.studio and on Facebook @MouSahaStudio.

CAUTION: Do not use real open flame candles with these paper tree light to avoid fire hazards! I used flameless smokeless LED Tea Light Candles for safety and still would keep an eye on the display when it’s turned on.
