I love some of the sayings in the High Tide stamp set and the grass, sea gulls, and shore bird images. While playing with the light house, I was inspired to make a diorama card. This one is a simple one with only two layers so it can easily be sent in the mail. Enjoy this tutorial!
Directions for Diorama card:
1. Cut two pieces cardstock 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″. Score the short ends at 1/2″ and 1″. Make mountain folds at 1″ and valley folds at 1/2″ scores.
2. Stamp/decorate one piece for the background on the side of the cardstock that has valley folds at 1″ score line.
3. On other piece use a die to cut an opening in the center of the piece. I used the largest plain square die of the Layering Squares Framelits. The greeting was cut out with the frame from the Frosted Bouquet Framelits.
4. Stamp, color, and cut out desired images to decorate the front of the card and adhere as desired.
5. Apply Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the ends just to the 1/2″ score line and glue the front to the back. I recommend the liquid glue over using Tear & Tape as you can briefly adjust the placement to get the edges lined up.
6. Stamp or write a greeting on the back. This lays flat and fits into a medium envelope/invitation size envelope for mailing.
