Materials

Instructions

First, prepare your cardstock pieces for the shadow box sampler. Cardstock pieces will measure:

  • 1 – 8×8″
  • 9 – 2×2″
  • 9 – 1 7/8″x1 7/8″ designer paper

Next, lay out and adhere 2″ x 2″ and 1 7/8″ square cardstock pieces to large cardstock.

After you’ve measured and glued the square panels, adorn with sentiments and stamps of your choosing. I love the soft, neutral colors I used in this shadow box sampler from the In Good Taste designer paper pack.

    Can you please tell me what size the shadow box frames were you ordered from Michaels?
    Also do you know if templates can be bought for spacing? Love your frames!

    Thank you.

      Hi Carol, I just now found your comment. My frames are 8″ x 8″. I am not aware of any templates for spacing, but I might have to keep that in mind to possibly create some at some point. Thanks for visiting and commenting 🙂
