VIDEO: Shadowbox Terrarium Flashback

Did you grow up in the 70s? Do you have an obsessive fondness for all things macrame and terrarium?

You are in the right place tonight my friends! Macrame was the closest I ever got to a knitting type craft  -it was SO much easier for me to understand - I have no idea why. I should take it up again.

And my sister and I put together many a terrarium back then - it was like the fairy garden of the time - everyone was doing it. If you want to follow a fun hashtag on Instagram - check this out.

I followed Jennifer McGuire's shadowbox tutorial for today's card, because when I saw these terrarium dies, I knew I needed dimension! This is like the EASIEST interactive card ever, and it folds flat for mailing. 

As a bonus, I used stamp packaging for part of it! Wait until you see in the video. 

I used the terrarium dies with my regular pre-cut card fronts, and colored them with Karin Markers. I cut the terrarium out of a panel I had run through with the wave cover die, which you will see in another video very shortly! Then I cut the terrarium again out of glitter paper to piece back in for the front of the pop-up. The sentiment and matching die are from the cutest succulent bundle. I love that they have dies for all their sentiments.

Now before the video, a few previews of my next two videos!

First - it is beach season, so I have a super fun, postage-inspired video coming up with this gorgeous shells set and the matching dies. You will get tons of easy coloring tips in this one.


Then, I have a WICKED fun and easy technique for cover dies with this beach scene builder die set!


So now I guess I've tortured you enough, so here is today's video.
