Shadow Box

This was my first try at making a shadow box using my Stampin' Up! punches, stamp sets, paper, and embellishments.  Another fun way to use your Stampin' Up! products!

I first started by purchasing the frame.  I started with something small and inexpensive - I got the frame for $1.00 at the Dollar Store.  I figured that this way if I didn't like it I really didn't spend a lot of money.  Next I took some punches and paper and just started laying things out on the frame. In a matter of minutes I had a completed project.  I was pleased with the results, and am looking forward to making more. 

For today's project I used the following:
