Julie is sharing a fun, almost shadow-box like card today, often referred to as a “bridge” card! It’s a free-standing design that is perfect for showcasing dimension!
Hey, hi, hello there! Julie here on the blog with a very fun, very easy card that simulates a shadow-box like effect! Thanks to some quick folds and sturdy construction, it will collapse flat for mailing and the recipient can easily display it!
TIPS:
- Have all the elements stamped, colored and die cut so you can quickly assemble the card!
- Measurements given are approximate; allow room for gluing and assembly, depending on the weight of the paper you’re using.
- Liquid glues such as Tomboy Mono-Multi are great for this card so you can make adjustments as you are building the card before the glue begins to set up permanently.
- Keep embellishments within the outer edges of the base card when it is collapsed so you’ll be able to slide the card easily into the envelope.
