Shadowbox Boat Window by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a card I made for a friend.

Her husband was having some health issues and I 

wanted her to know she wasn't alone.  Her husband is 

a big outdoorsman and she also loves nature so the new

5409 – Boat Window Set

and

5408 – ShadowBox Window Die

were a perfect choice for them.

The window scene can be used with or without the window dies

which makes it so versatile.

The window creates so much beautiful dimension. The boat is 

popped up on foam tape.

The window folds flat for shipping. Cool huh?

Boat Window Cards by Crystal

Hi Ai fans! This week I made two cards using the Boat Window Accessory stamp set and the Shadowbox window die set. I stamped the image twice with versafine black ink onto water color card stock. I colored both of the images in with Spectrum Noir Aqua markers. 

For the first card I used the Shadowbox window die set. 

For the second card I didn't use the window die set so the sentiment around the image would show.

I die cut the image out with a double stitched square die. I matted the image onto pattern paper and matted on more pattern paper. 

The first card I added blue pattern card stock to the top like the sky. I added green pattern paper to the bottom to look like the grassy hill. 

Happy Stamping!

 

Lake House Cards by Tasha

 Happy Friday Ai Fans!

Tasha here sharing two cards created with the pretty Boat Window Accessory Stamp Set (#5409). 

This stamp set includes the boat house scene and a little boat image with a coordinating die. You have the option to just use the scene stamp as is, stamp and cut out the boat image, or stamp the boat directly into the scene. Being able to add or remove the boat allows you to really personalize your design.

I stamped all the images with black hybrid ink and used Copic Markers for the coloring. I like having little stars in the sky, it makes me think of being up north in WI.

My second card uses the stamp alone without the boat. I also used different colors and added more white gel accents. It's fun to mix up the color combinations! I think this scene would also look nice with Fall colors; I may need to try that out next!

To complete both cards, I added layers of card stock and glitter paper before attaching them to a card base.

I hope you enjoyed today's projects!

Hello Countryside Windows by Bri Firth

Hello Ai Fans - Bri here! Today I am sharing some cards featuring the new ShadowBox Windows series. These cards are perfect for the newest challenge, Ai Squared. For more details on this challenge, check out the announcement here. These cards are also featured on my personal blog, check it out here! 

These creations feature the new die set, ShadowBox Window Die, and four new stamp and die sets: Boat Window Accessory Set, Deer Window Accessory Set, Mailbox Window Accessory Set, and Bridge Window Accessory Set. These ShadowBox Windows Series sets create the most enchanting rural scenes! 

I chose my background paper to look like wall paper and the inside of cabins. I also wanted the paper to coordinate with the window scenes. I used the ShadowBox Windows Die Set to create the 3D interior fold for the scenes, the window and window ledge die cuts for the front panel, and the "hello" die cut on each card.

I colored each of the window scenes with Spectrum Noir Triblend markers. I love the smaller images like the bridge, mailbox, boat and deer that are mounted in the foreground of the scenes. The images below provide a zoomed in view of the four different window scenes.

Check back next week for more Ai inspiration made by me!

Shadow Box Easel Card - Boat On The Water...by Janet

 Hello Ai Fans!

Today I've got a new card featuring the new Boat Window Accessory Set and the new Shadowbox Window Die. 

The boat and cabin scene is so peaceful and so easy to quickly color and work with. It's a mini scene that is great alone or combined with other scenes. The new releases include a Shadowbox Window die for a 3D element that can be used with any of the Window sets. The boat in this scene can be used in many ways to add dimension and perspective to the scene.

These little window scenes are perfect to color in any way you like. I chose to watercolor my window scene using Zig Clear Color Pens. I added shine to the water with a coating of clear Wink of Stella. The sparkle reminds me of lake water on a summer day. My little personal touch is the red door. My house has a red door so I usually color doors red as a nod to my own home. 

Zig Clear Color Pens Used:
May Green, Deep Green, Light Green, Green, Deep Blue, Persian Blue, Cobalt Blue Oatmeal, Light Gray, Mid-Gray, Dark Gray, Gray Brown, Black, Dark Brown, Beige  

I have a video on this card and show you how to make a 5" x 7" easel card with basic supplies. You'll also see how easy it is to install the Shadow Box Window Die to create really stunning dimension.

Like many card makers, I love patterned papers and I try to use them to make my cardmaking a little easier. This 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" paper caught my eye and I've been waiting for an opportunity to use it. It has rose gold foil details and pretty vintage bird and floral images. I splattered the card with watered down white acrylic paint for additional rustic vibes. The window sets pair beautifully with the new Shadow Box Window Die 5408. It comes with the dies to recess your image behind the window frame and includes a window box. It lays flat when shut but pops up when the card is opened. It's a great way to add some unexpected dimension to your card.

I thought it would be fun to create an easel card with this so that the window would be at a perfect angle when displayed. I made my own 5" x 7" easel card base and used the Rectangle Double Stitched Dies to make a stopper and a birthday sentiment. When displayed, the box part of the die is free to pop up and provide the 3D effect it is designed for. I placed the boat on the outside of the window frame but it could also be used inside the shadow box or not at all. You get to decide!

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed this card and seeing the cool effect that the Shadow Box Window Die provides for your Window Accessories stamps.

Happy Creating!
