Prima Homegrown Pop Up Shadowbox Card Tutorial for Wonderful Wednesday
Hello, Friends! It’s Wonderful Wednesday and I have a fun and easy Prima Homegrown Pop Up Shadowbox Card Tutorial to share with you. Don’t you just love it when a card makes the recipient ask, “How did you DO that?” But you secretly know that it was a cinch to make? Well, that’s why I love this Pop Up Shadowbox card design,
I first saw a photo of an A2 sized version of this 5×7 card on Pinterest. Right away, I recognized it as a pop out box design with a die cut opening. What a brilliant idea! So I got out some scrap paper, my pencil, and a ruler and began figuring out the dimensions for making this card. After a couple of false starts, I broke the code and came up with today’s tutorial for you.
Gardening Mice are Very Nice
After testing out my prototype design, I went to work creating a “real” card, which you saw in the above photos. Next on tap? Cutting and labeling all the pieces for today’s tutorial.
Honestly, this card is so much fun to make, I could have just kept making card after card with this design.
TIP: Create dimension by fussy cutting elements from the paper pad and popping them up on foam tape. This simple move creates a feeling that you could walk into the scene.
TIP: Add texture with ribbon and lace! When you layer lace over ribbon, it just seems to pop off the page, doesn’t it?
Add A Flap Element
Make this card even more interactive by adding a magnetic flap element. Simply save the die cut from your shadowbox arch, score a 1/2″ flap on the bottom, add magnets, adhere behind the base panel, and you’ve got a mighty cute design going on!

Of course, you don’t have to use these cute mice to make your card. (But why wouldn’t you want to?) You can make this card with any paper (or die) that you happen to have in your stash, and it will be just as fun as my version.,

Super construction design Kathy, a ‘must have a go’ card. Love the layout too and the use of the arch dies. Thanks very much for sharing. A busy week as I have been bequeathed a large box of arty gear and it is now all sorted, so I will delve into this stash to give this construction style a go.
