'Fairytale Christmas' Shaker Shadow Box Card for Funky Folds Blog Hop

Hi and welcome to the September 2025 Funky Folds Blog Hop. Tonight I'm sharing a Shaker Shadow Box Card featuring products from the Fairytale Christmas Quick Cards Collection (Paper Rose Studio). 

The Funky Folds group consists of like minded paper crafters who love to make projects with fun folds. Funky actually means "modern and stylish in an unconventional or striking way"... so we are featuring cards that are not your usual rectangle/square portrait or landscape style. Think 'easel', 'pop-up', 'gatefold', 'z-fold', 'shaped' or 3D cards etc. The list is endless ... and it also includes journals, albums etc. All Blog Hops have an 'anything goes' theme using any type of 'funky' fold!


If you love to make cards, journals, albums etc. with creative folds and would like to participate in our monthly Funky Folds Blog Hop, you are welcome to join up through our community group on Facebook - facebook.com/groups/funkyfoldsbloghops 


Here's what the three layers of the card look like. The middle and front section have been die-cut with the gorgeous Snowflake Circle Metal Die.

Measurements -

Back Piece - (H)4-1/4" x (W)8-1/4". Score at the 2" and 6-1/4" marks along the width. 
Front Piece - (H)4-1/4" x (W)8-1/4". Score at the 2" and 6-1/4" marks along the width. 
Middle Piece -  (H)4-1/4" x (W)6-1/4". Score at the 1" and 5-1/4" marks along the width.

Basic Instructions - Create a shaker section to the shadow box card front by making an acetate window (2 layers) with a spattering of Crystal Clear Mix in-between and held together with adhesive foam strips. 

Glue the middle section to the back piece and then the front section will easily slot into place forming the shadow box.

Embellish with embossed die cuts from the kit.

Create a place on the back to write a greeting to the recipient.

'Little Bakers' Bitty Bakery Cupcake Box

Welcome to Spring in my part of the world. I'm starting off the month with a very cute 3D project. It's a forerunner to a DT project that I made which will be published on the 8th September (I cannot wait to share that one with you!). So here's a little peek at some new products from Paper Rose Studio -  Little Bakers Collection! While searching for some 'bakery themed' ideas, I came across this FREE TEMPLATE for a Bitty Bakery Cupcake Box from MadeByMarzipan  (with an accompanying video tutorial on YouTube). It was so much fun to put together. If you look closely I've popped a tray of choc chip cookies in the oven ( Little Bakers Embossed Die-Cuts ). How adorable is that! The oven mitt was cut down to size and I added a cute little chef as a prop. Some lovely paper from the collection was added to the sides of the oven and I lined out the inside of the box with some dark grey squares of metallic foil. I decided not to use this box for my next Design Team submi...

Hi and welcome to my blog.  I recently attended a class at Bev's Cross Crafts in Spreyton taken by LJ's Crafty Corner . In this class we made an easy journal and writing board. The journal featured a chipboard cover with a fabric spine and three signatures were sewn with a pamphlet stitch. We also made a laminated writing board to use in the journal.   I chose to use the Dewdrops Collection of papers and rub-on transfers from Stamperia .
