Pull Out Shadow Box Card and video

It's been a month or more, so I am now posting the video for this card for everyone.

I called this a Pull out Shadow box card, it may have another name but I haven't seen it anywhere else yet so am not sure.  I was first introduced to this unique card about 4 years ago by Karen Duke who is such an amazing teacher and nice person to boot!

It's a really unique card to give someone, especially at Christmas as you can add a photo of the kids or the family instead of a stamped image (see card below).

I also love this little bow as it's perfect for smaller gift boxes and items like this card (I found the bow in a book I took out from the library...sometimes the older books have great stuff!).

I found these two items took a bit of practice, so you might want to use printer paper (or DS paper you don't like so much) to get the hang of them.  Also to let you know that the second way I show on the video (the paper folding way) is much more precise than using the dimensions, but I had both so I thought I would show both.  Have fun!

Wow! An inspirational video for a beautiful paper bow. You made a comment about wishing one of the strips was a bit longer, would it matter if you started out with longer strips?
Either way, I am posting this to my blog too. Great Tut. Thnks JoanieB

I just ran across this post from Valita's blog. I was so excited to see your bow tutorial. I made these type bows in school almost 40 years ago, but I couldn't remember how I made them. We made them with the points on both side (so they were very 3 dimensional), then we dipped them in wax and added glitter. They were Christmas tree ornaments! We also made them with ribbon. I remember making a ton of them and just loving it. I often wished I could remember how I had made them. Thanks for your very clear directions! Wow, it brings back memories. I like your cool pull out shadow box card, too. TFS!
