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.
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.

As we go into the Thanksgiving weekend here in the States, I am thinking of all the things I am grateful for. And I am grateful for you all – those who befriended and followed me on Instagram and Facebook. Thank you SO MUCH for giving me hearts when I shared my art online, for chatting with me when I posted personal thoughts and stories, for taking my classes, and for giving me feedback and reviews where I needed them the most. You have made me feel that what I do has some meaning beyond my own heart and has value, no matter how small, in the world.
And I wanted to say thank you in a personal way and to me that meant sharing a few pieces of art that I created just for myself and the originals hang framed around my studio and home. So, I have made a VERY LIMITED QUANTITY of archival prints of my original artwork and added them to my shop.

No matter how many art prints you choose, you’ll only pay $5.00 in shipping (US Domestic) or $12.00 (International Flat Rate) as long as everything is shipped to the same address.
