I had so much fun creating this sweet diorama card featuring the adorable characters from the Sweet Old Friends Bundle! I followed the diorama card tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers, but simplified the design a bit. Instead of adding as many layers as the tutorial shows, I stuck with just the front and back, which gives the card plenty of dimension while keeping it clean and simple. See that tutorial HERE.
For the window, I used the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies to create the opening. Behind the window, I added a piece of Hydrangea Hue Cardstock embossed with the 100 Acre Woods 3D Embossing Folder. I then used a Blender Brush to add more Hydrangea Hue ink over the embossed cardstock, bringing out the details and giving the background some extra depth.
The adorable characters from the Sweet Old Friends Bundle were stamped, colored with Stampin’ Blends, and layered around the scene. I especially love how they peek around the circular opening!
For the outside of the card, I used the Barely Blush from Gingham Gallery 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is from the Sweet Words & Labels Bundle and was the perfect finishing touch for this card.
The Silly Old Bear products are part of the Online Exclusives collection in my Online Store. If you love these nostalgic little characters as much as I do, be sure to check them out!
I love how this card folds flat for mailing but opens into a dimensional little scene. It's such a fun way to make a handmade card feel extra special without making the construction overly complicated.
Happy stamping!
