Valentines Day Shadow Box


Floral Shadow Box
Floral Shadow Box
January is technically the crafting month for preparing for Valentine's Day. I decided to try rolled paper flowers, something that has always overwhelmed me in the past. They were actually very simple and a lot of fun! Check out the supply list:

  1. Shadow Box (Michael's... wait for a sale)
  2. cardstock paper
  3. vinyl
  4. hot glue gun
That is it, I swear! You can find the template for the paper flower in the cricut design space or good 3D flower templates and import the images into design space but they should look something like this...


I also found this helpful guide to see what templates make which flowers.

I used a paper quilling tool to roll the flowers but you really can use anything you have around the house. Once you roll the flower you hot glue it to keep it in floral form. To make the background of the box I use two different colored card stocks and cut a heart shape out which I used for the outline to place the paper flowers. 

Once you make all the flowers you can hot glue them in place. The last step is to cut and attached the vinyl to the glass and project complete! Perfect Valentine's day gifts! Happy crafting!
