Valentines is the day for giving love, not only to your partner but also to you friends and family, and today I give you my love through some free cut files and templates. The box I create in todays video tutorial shows how to put the box together and also one way of decorating both the box and the tag. The box is made to house 4 Hershey’s Hearts, but you can add what ever you want.

I ended up making five different boxes to showcase all the different cutouts and tag versions. And I had two hearts over from my bag of Hershey’s Hearts. But being honest I did dip into it before doing this project so you can most likely get six if not seven boxes out of one bag.

To get the cutouts in the box you can either just use the templates and a craft knife/scissors to cut it out. But if you have a silhouette or a cricut you can use the pngs as cutfiles and cut the whole box and tags out. You can download the zipped files –HERE–. If you want the schema as a pdf you can find it HERE, but you can also just right click on the image below and save it on your computer.

UPDATE: A very lovely viewer on youtube informed me that a Brother ScanNCut machine needs svg files. So I exported the cutfiles also in svg format and you can find them HERE. These can be used in other cutting machines as well.

Hi everyone! I’m back with the first craft tutorial this year and in 8 months! It’s been a long hiatus but I’m back and so inspired to craft.

Shadow Box Card Tutorial | Princess & Unicorns

March 13, 2021January 19, 2022 craftybit

Hi! Today I made a shadow box with unicorns and princesses, everything I love! The video tutorial goes through how to cut, score and put everything together, but I have also made an instruction sheet that you can see below and you can find it as a pdf HERE.

Showing the full shadow box card with the princess as focal image.

Making a shadow box means some measuring and scoring and if you find that hard (or boring), there is dies out there. One that also flattens to an A2 card size like the box I have done is the one from MFTStamps.

In the video below you can follow along on how I did my box out of less than one sheet of letter sized card stock. Also you can see how I decorated it using stamps from the Pretty Princess and Friendly Unicorn Stamp sets. You can find all the products used listed below, and there you also find all the copics used to color the stamps. Which you can see how I did in the second video.

For the shadow box I cut out 2 pieces measuring 5 7/8″ by 4 1/4″ for the back and front, and 4 pieces measuring 3/8″ by 4 3/4″, 2 for upper delimiters and 2 for bottom delimiters. The 5 7/8″ by 4 1/4″ should be scored on the long side at 4″ and at 5 1/2″, and the delimiters should be scored at 3/8″ on both ends. Before putting together the card, take one of the bigger pieces and cut a hole out of the 4″ part of it. Make sure that the hole has a minimum of 3/8″ to all edges so that the tabs aren’t seen from the other side. I used a die for this as I wanted to have cute scalloped edges for my window. Putting together the card, use a strong tape so that it stays together, I use sookwang tape. You can follow the instructions below and I have made a pdf that you can download HERE.

Instuctions for the shadowbox, sizings and scorelines.

After putting together the shadowbox it’s now time to decorate! I used stamps from the Pretty Princess and Friendly Unicorn stamp set. I colored them with copic markers and then cut them out (there is dies, but I prefer to fussy cut). Then blending Tumbled Glass and Cracked Pistachio Distress Inks over the for Mini Cloud Edges stencil the backdrop and Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron Distress Inks over the Grassy Edges stencil to give some dimension and texture. For the hanging clouds and the back unicorn and chariot I used acetate to fasten them so that it’s harder to see how they are attached. To finish it off I ended up white heat embossing a sentiment on some Peach Bellini card stock.
