Be sure to read through my post, comment below and then continue on to Jean's Blog.
If you get lost along the way, you can find a full list of all the participants at the end of each of their Blog Posts.
Here are the projects I created for this month's Hop ...
I used the Seas The Day stamp set and coordinating Sea Dies to create a Simple Diorama Card together with a Box to present it in.
The Video to show you how I made the Diorama Card is below. In my next post (on Monday) I will add another Video to show you how I created the Box.
These Diorama cards are super simple to create. Basically you just need 2 panels of card stock in the same size - I used Balmy Blue for mine.
The two cards shown are a little different to each other. For this first one I used paper from the retired Whale of a Time 6" Designer Series Paper pack. It included beautiful sea based backgrounds so was perfect for this project.
I also used 6" square panels to create this first card. Unfortunately that meant that you either had to use half a sheet of 12"x12" card or you had to cut into two of your standard size sheets to create the panels.
This is the card I created in the Video. I decided to alter the sizing slightly so you can get both panels from one standard size sheet of card - either A4 or 8½" x 11".
The paper I used in the background this time comes from the Simply Marbelous 6" Designer Series Paper pack. This is one of the FREE items you can select during our current Sale-a-Bration promotion (with a qualifying purchase).
There is a large panel on the back of the card where you can write your message.
You can see the two panels in the above photo.
This is the Box I created to hold the card.
If the card is pressed flat it will fit into a standard size envelope for a 6" square card. I decided to create a box so that the shape of the card is retained and the recipient will not need to 'work out' how it stands up :o)
You will find a Video Tutorial for the Box in my next Blog Post - coming on Monday.
Here is the Diorama Card Video ...

Love everything about your card and box! I am sad that my supply of that cute whale paper is nearly gone! And soon the Simply Marbleous :( I am definitely using the diorama idea in my next month's classes. Thanks for sharing.
