Last Day For Shadow Challenge

Good morning Friends,

Hope you’re all doing well. I wanted to post a reminder that today is the last day of our “Shadow” Challenge here at CWC.

You still have time to enter your project. Just click HERE to go to the post.

I wanted to share a project I made with this challenge in mind. It is a card with a digital stamp I created.

It features a cute little Ground Hog. Holding some spring flowers and standing on top of his pile of dirt with a bit of snow left.

The mat that the digital stamp is on actually opens up to reveal an additional block for an extra sentiment. It closes by sliding the cover underneath the buckle’s edge.

This is a shot of the inside of the card. I don’t have a sentiment on there yet as I haven’t decided who will get this card. But it is ready for when I need to finish it up and send it off :-)

The digital stamp comes in four different versions.
With and without a shadow and with and without a sentiment.

I used the Birthday Bash Cricut Cartridge and my Expression to create this layout. All the cuts came from the Birthday Bash Cartridge. I did not use my Gypsy or Design Studio. This is what I call "straight Cricut" I will put the instructions up soon.
