Dasher Shadow Box

This style of card is called a Shadowbox card. Of course,I am loving the 3D effect and the Dasher stamp, too. Finished card size is 4" x 4-1/4" x 1-1/2".

Here's a close-up of the front: The Real Red CS is peeking through: it's a smaller size circle punch.

This photo is a even better view:

Dasher has a Gold Brad on his neck: (sorry about all the shadows - it is, after all, a shadowbox)

Left photo: Stamp Dasher using Craft Chocolate Chip ink, apply clear embossing powder. Using a stamping sponge, apply Bashful Blue ink as background.

Right photo: For the front: use the 1-3/8" punch. Slide the punch all the way into card stock, then line up the edge of right and left side of the punch. Punch center last. 6 punches are needed to create window.

Left Photo: using the 1-1/4" Circle Punch, punch 6 circles.

Right photo: use scissors to connect the sections

Left photo: after punching the front, use Chocolate Chip ink with a stamping sponge for all edges, including punched circle area. Note the "Season Greetings" message is also stamped using Craft Chocolate Chip + Clear embossing powder: heat embossed.

Right photo: TIP - the fabulous ribbon is cotton - that means it frays! It is very annoying and looks bad! To prevent this, apply a small amount of transparent tape to the end, then use a scissor to cut straight or at an angle.
