Hello friends! If you haven’t yet checked out this month’s Large Die of the Month from Spellbinders, I highly encourage you to do so! I created a fun DIY shadow box card (measurements below) that can be used as a fall decoration, a handmade gift, or a fun 3D pop up card!

All links can be found at the bottom of this post. ** Affiliated links were used where applicable at no extra cost to you. **

When upright, my box card measures at 5.5″ wide, 5″ tall, and 1.5″ deep. When folded flat, it measures at 5″ x 7″ and fits perfectly into a standard 5×7 envelope. For the inside of my card, I used the adorable new Picture Perfect Autumn Die Set which is this month’s Large Die of the Month Set. The nice thing about the Spellbinder’s clubs are that you can join to get this month’s set and then can cancel and rejoin at any time based on whether or not you want the next month’s set.

STEP BY STEP MEASUREMENTS FOR SHADOW BOX:

• Trim two pieces of heavyweight (I used 110lb) card stock to 8.5″ x 5″
• Score each of these pieces at 1.5″ from each end
• Fold the ends up at the score lines to create the sides of the box card that will eventually overlap and hold the box together.
• Die cut a window in the front center of one of the pieces. I used the largest rectangular die from the Nested Postage Label & Tag Etched Dies.
• Trim inner shelf pieces (I made 3) to 2.5″ x 6.25″ and die cut with whatever border you want to use. I used the borders that came with the die set.
• Score each shelf piece at 3/8″ from each end in order to form tabs to glue to each side of the inner shadow box wall.
• Finish by adding inner images and sentiment.

I love how versatile this set is! You can use it all year round based on the colors you use. You can mix and match the pieces with other sets or just use the pieces alone.

If you look at the photo below, you can see how this card folds easily to fit into a 5×7 envelope for mailing.

Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by! I hope you enjoyed my card today. Wishing you all a lovely day!
