I am so honored to be Mary Fish’s Guest Stamper today! Being a member of the Pretty Pals has been one of the smartest decisions that I ever made. Mary keeps her ever-growing Pals group going with lots of opportunities to share our creative projects as well as our triumphs and tragedies (and everything in between)! My upline, Katy McGloin, has been instrumental in stretching my “creative wings” with her amazing talent, giving me valuable advice, ideas and support in so many ways. This is what you will get from me as well, if you would ever consider joining Stampin’ Up! through me. And not only will you have my help, you would also have the help of Mary and indeed all of the Pretty Pals!
If you would like to host a class to take advantage of Sale-A-Bration (which ends March 31st), I would love to help! It is as easy as getting your friends together for ONE hour (or as long as you like) and you can even host your party VIRTUALLY! What a great way to get FREE products!! It’s time to get that wish list ordered!
Do you love handmade gifts, home decor or party decorations but don’t have the time to do it yourself? Do you have a project or event that is out of your comfort zone? No problem! I would love to make those projects for you! Just email me at mysecretstamper@gmail.com and let’s get started!
On to my project! I have been wanting to make a shadow box card for at least a year, after seeing this tutorial on the Scor-Pal website. I have tweaked the measurements for my project, so I am providing a Shadow Box Tutorial PDF for my project here. This project is so pretty that my photos really don’t do it justice BUT it didn’t take me long to make! The time is cut substantially due to my use of framelits, sizzlits and embosslits. They are the “go-to” tools in my craft room, making the purchase of my Big Shot an absolute time saver for nearly every project I make! Even if you don’t get much time in your craft room, you absolutely can make this card. This card is perfect for any occasion and the pocket on the back holds a tag for you to stamp for the occasion and sign. I hope you will give it a try!

I hope you liked my card today! If you did, I would love you to leave me a comment! What stamp set do you think should be showcased with a shadow box card? I hope you will take a moment to sign up for email notifications (not usually more than 3 per week) and please “like” my Facebook page. Please consider the advantages of joining Stampin’ Up! or hosting a get-together during Sale-A-Bration. This is THE time and the last month is slipping away! I am here to help you in any way. Hope to see you back on Tuesday!
Happy Stampin’!

Wow! Gorgeous card. It is all in the details.
What can I say but Wow! I may try this later today and share on a future post linking back to you if you don’t mind. This is stunning!
P.s. What a clever idea to include a back pocket for the sentiment
You are so kind and I’m so lucky to have you in my group and as a friend. Bravo on another Secret Stamper work of art!
I certainly would not mind you CASEing this, Kelly! Thank you so much for coming to my blog today!!
Debbie, just had to pop in and say how gorgeous this project is! You are a real craftsman! Thanks for the PDF, too! I’ll be making one of these for sure!
I love your card. The flowers are beautiful. What a clever idea.
Absolutely gorgeous, thanks for sharing the project and instructions. Your creative mojo has certainly been working. Have a beautiful day.
Thank you, Mary! That means so much to me!! I can’t thank you enough for offering your blog to me – and all of the Pals! {Hugs}
Thank you, Kathy! I would love to see your project.
Absolutely drop dead gorgeous! This is art — not a card!!!!!
A Stunning piece of art, Debbie!! What a great project for Mother’s Day! And I love that you showed the shadow box card prior to all the lovely details… that certainly was lovely on its own. Adding the sentiment pocket to the back was sheer genius. And I am truly honored to be your upline (and sister). Although we are many miles apart, SU has certainly provided a shared passion that keeps us close. Love you!!!
OH my gosh Debbie, this is absolutely beautiful. You must have had so much fun making this. Thanks for sharing!
This is absolutely one of the most beautiful projects I have ever seen! The color, the design, all the fabulous pieces of it — just a work of art!
Wow! Mary’s description “Masterpiece” sums it up very well. This is awesome, Debbie!
Thank you, Katy! I would never have been able to do this without YOU! You have been my biggest cheerleader – even when I was a newbie! Your enthusiasm for stamping is infectious and has helped me to get to this point. I can’t thank you enough! Love you!
I follow your site but and have never left a message before. I have always enjoyed your creativity, but this is honestly the most beautiful shadow box card I have ever seen and so I just had to comment. I love your shadow box card and love the touch of romance and vintage. Thank you so very much for the PDF tutorial also.
Debby that’s so beauitful , love love it ,
Hugs Frenchie
This is beyond beautiful Debbie! Such a stunning piece of art!
I am not really sure I have ever seen a more detailed, beautiful card as yours. It really is a work of art as others have commented. Just so stunning and the longer I look at it, the more I see more of what you’ve added to it! So gorgeous!! Thanks so much for the PDF to create it ourselves. It would be stunning as a home decor piece, too!
Debbie, I echo all the accolades and comments above! You are an incredible designer and you set standards for many of us to attempt! Keep up the good work!
Debbie you have outdone yourself with this piece of art. WOW!!! Thanks you so much for sharing the PDF. I am definitely going to use your instructions to make one of these.
Simply stunning! This is truly a work, not only of art, but of heart!
This should be framed! What a stunning piece!
Wow is all I can say Debbie! Amazing, beautiful, stunning! These are some of my favorite dsp’s and colors. I can’t wait to try one for myself! Amazing job Pal!
Your card is breathtaking! I love all the layered flowers. I want to put a little cottage in there and live in it! You are so talented Debbie!!!!
