Shadow Box Sampler – Day 4 of 12 Days of DIY Gift Ideas

25 Nov

I’m excited to introduce to you Day 4 of my 12 Days of DIY Gift Ideas. Today I’ll be showing you how to make this adorable shadow box sampler. It is a beautiful decorative gift for the special people in your life. Let’s get started!

For Day 4 of 12 Days of DIY Gift Ideas, we are making this beautiful shadow box sampler with just paper, ink, and a few tools!

Video Tutorial for Shadow Box Sampler

Click the video below for complete step-by-step instructions on how to make this beautiful sampler.

Materials

For a complete list of materials, see the product ordering list at the bottom of this page.

Instructions

First, prepare your cardstock pieces for the shadow box sampler. Cardstock pieces will measure:

  • 1 – 8×8″
  • 9 – 2×2″
  • 9 – 1 7/8″x1 7/8″ designer paper

For Day 4 of 12 Days of DIY Gift Ideas, we are making this beautiful shadow box sampler with just paper, ink, and a few tools!

Next, lay out and adhere 2″ x 2″ and 1 7/8″ square cardstock pieces to large cardstock.

After you’ve measured and glued the square panels, adorn with sentiments and stamps of your choosing. I love the soft, neutral colors I used in this shadow box sampler from the In Good Taste designer paper pack.

    Can you please tell me what size the shadow box frames were you ordered from Michaels?
    Also do you know if templates can be bought for spacing? Love your frames!

    Thank you.

      Hi Carol, I just now found your comment. My frames are 8″ x 8″. I am not aware of any templates for spacing, but I might have to keep that in mind to possibly create some at some point. Thanks for visiting and commenting 🙂
