We're counting down Christmas! We're already on Week 4! How are we already a third of the way through our series!?! Today's project is such an amazing gift. We're making a shadow box! This shadow box is sized to fit a Bath and Body Works Hand Sanitizer. This is an amazing gift for anyone but especially teachers. I know my kids teachers love getting hand sanitizers. Plus, you can use this box year round!
For the outside, I used the Whimsical Trees Bundle to stamp the ornaments twice. I colored them pretty simply with Polished Pink, Mint Macaron and Misty Moonlight Stampin' Blends. Then die cut them with the coordinating die. My two labels on my box are die cut from the Hippo and Friends Die. I've said it before but these labels are AMAZING!!! The box is finished simply with some Frayed Blushing Bride Ribbon and Opal Rounds. The real star of the box isn't the outside, it's the inside!
This gorgeous shadow box! I used the ornaments from the Whimsy and Wonder Bundle because of my hand sanitizer the pink and those ornaments just called for each other! The hand sanitizer will nestle in perfectly into the shadow box but if you feel that you need to add a glue dot to the back of the hand sanitizer that's fine too.
Shadow boxes can be a little complicated to make, I hope my instructions will make it less complicated for you. I learned how to make shadow boxes from Julie Dimatteo a fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I've watched lots of her videos and her boxes are the easiest to put together. I redid all of the measurements for my hand sanitizer and I followed the cutting guidelines for this shadow box of hers.
The measurements for the box are below. I do strongly encourage you to check out the video for better instructions. I do have a template of how to trim and where to place your adhesive below but the video will give far more detailed instructions.
