Crafting for Christmas: shadow box made from Christmas cards

Here's another fun Christmas craft!  This is a shadow box -- maybe more of a diorama -- made from an old Christmas card and decorated with all sorts of trims.  It has a vintage look (though one need not necessarily use vintage cards) and would, I think, be lots of fun to make.  Here is the link: Shadow Boxes from Christmas Cards.  The tutorial is very well done and the instructions are clear.

This is one of those crafts that could be made with infinite variations depending on the scene on the card you choose.  Snowmen, forest scenes, even manger scenes -- this is an idea you could really have fun with.  Another neat thing is that the card itself, with some careful reinforcement and cutting, forms the box.  This would be a fun project for older kids, too -- not just adults.

I hope to make some of these little scenes.  What about you?
