Season of Thanks Shadow Box
Posted by: | Comments
The second I saw this project at the Stampin’ Up! Convention in Utah, I knew I wanted to make this for my home! I am so glad I did! Pictures do not justice for this project.
Believe it or not this shadow box is so easy. The hardest part was finding the shadow box itself. I found it at Michaels, and it was on sale for 40% off! The front opens which will make it easy for me to change out the leaves for the seasons if I decide to. The back of the frame is covered in fabric, so I arranged the leaves using a few pins and closed the front of the frame.
With the leaves in place I was able to apply the Season of Thanks Decor Elements (#114885 $14.95) to the front of the frame. That is it! Arrange the leaves and apply Decor Elements.
It took approximately 30 minutes from start to finish, including cleaning the frame!
The frame is 14″ x 18″ and here is a picture before I applied Decor Elements. I also found the leaf garland at Michaels.
Here is a close up!
Want to make one for yourself? I can’t help you with the shadowbox or the leaves, but I can tell you how to get your Decor Elements!
First, click on the Order Online Button at the top of this page. Next when you get to my SU! website click on the “Shop Now” button at the top right. Enter 114885 in the search button and there you are! Your Decor Elements will come with step by step instructions on how to apply the product, and of course if you have any questions you can contact me anytime. I almost forgot…you will also need the applicator tool (#114285 $1.95), so make sure you add that to your order.
I can’t wait to hear what you have to say about this project, and when you finish yours please send me a picture of what you did. I would love to see it!
Happy Stamping!
Convention Check-in Day Continued…

Yesterday I said I would post a picture of my new Stampin’ Up! messenger bag from Convention, so here it is…
Isn’t it beautiful? If you look closely, you will see Shelli’s signature. Yes, I did get a picture with her and I will spill all the details about that another day. : )
Our bags were filled with three new stamp sets that we used for our make-n-take projects, and our spiral bound Fall-Winter Catalog!! If I have not told you yet, the Designer paper and Simply Scrappin’ Kits are amazing. I was really worried when they retired every DSP and Scrappin’ Kit, but SU! really outdid themselves with what is offered in this catalog. I will not give away all the details, but I was most excited that there are several packages of DSP that are masculine designs!! I really think we needed that, Thanks SU!
Back to Convention… After Bag Pickup and Momento Mall I went on a tour of the Stampin’ Up! Riverton Campus. First of all let me just tell you that I would move to Utah in a heartbeat to work there!!! OMG, working for SU! has got to be the best job ever! Here I have a not so great picture of the waterfall in the entrance to the facility. This is were many employees take their breaks and have lunch. This shot was from up above, would have been better if I had a chance to go downstairs, but I didn’t have enough time.
There is also a creativity room. This room is for employees to hang out relax and explore there own creativity. I am sure they don’t spend the entire day in this room, probably just break time. However, the room is nicely furnished with over-sized bean bag chairs, a pool table, and ping pong table! There is also a cabinet set up with stamping supplies galore!
Check out this wall. I want you to think for a second at how this image makes you feel? When I walked into this room, this was the first wall I noticed. I felt calm, happy, secure, and inspired. I would love to go to work everyday and feel those emotions first thing! Shelli has created an amazing work environment, I wish my house was set up to evoke those emotions!! : )
The distribution center is just as immaculate as all other areas in this facility! Have you ever seen a warehouse as clean and clutter free as this!
The Legacy Room was the next stop on our self-guided tour. This room tells the history of Stampin’ Up! with some great pictures and stories over the last 20 years. There are a few pics I definitely want to show you! Here are some displays that were used to create pictures for various catalogs.
Recognize this picture? This was children’s platroom featured in a recent catalog.
This is the Tart-n-Tangy Room!
I want a bedroom like this one! Check out the Decor Elements!
Isn’t this the calmest baby room! I love the colors. And look at the designs up above…I am thinking this might be NEW Decor Elements coming soon. This is not definite, just my guess.
The Crew…Some of my friends! You guys rock! Tiz, Kathy, Barbara, Judy, and I.
There were other parts of the tour that the pics didn’t come out so well. Sorry guys! I hope you enjoyed visiting the Riverton Campus today!
Happy Stamping!
