This is just one example of the new shadowboxes and facades offered from Alpha Stamps. The best part is that the new collage sheets fit the facades perfectly so it is easy to assemble and create your own.
This theater was created using the Cirque Facade Theatre Add-On Kit. "This kit includes a chipboard facade (laser cut to match the shape of the color theatre image on the Cirque Shadowbox Facades Collage Sheet), that same collage sheet, and a matching shadowbox".
Supplies Used:
Using the same facade image from Cirque Shadowbox Facades Collage Sheet I created another theater using the Square Shrine - Gatefold. This is the featured theater in this months Amour Kit.
Supplies Used:
When putting my Theatre Francais Shadowbox Facade together, I only cut out the image itself without trimming. French Fairies Shadowbox Facade Collage Sheet
It was super easy to line up perfectly. Next it's time for a trim.
Having attached the collage sheet image to the facade makes it more durable and easier to trim, getting into even the tiniest of areas.
I'm a sucker for Emory boards. They work perfectly to remove the most difficult areas of excess paper.
To get into tight areas, I use an actual tool designed for the purpose. Don't be nervous to file the paper down. With practice you will learn exactly how hard to push and it will become more natural.
And to make edges look more uniform, I like to use a little brown ink to "age" my edges and it also makes the many paper layers pop for that extra 3D effect.
I usually use about three copies of the collage sheet and lots of foam tape to create layers and dimension. And again, use brown ink to emphasize the edges and really make them pop.
Supplies Used:
Finding love in Paris can lead to a "Jungle Love" of passion.
To create this "theater" I used the Square Shrine Shadowbox along with the Square Shadowbox - Opera Comique Collage Sheet.
Supplies Used:
Nouveau
Goddess - Raw Brass Stamping
So what will you be creating? Hopefully I have inspired you. Thanks for stopping by!

Love the theatres! My question is.... You say you use more than one copy of the theatre sheets so I am assuming you make copies on other cardstock? I had not thought of doing that and I see now why you have so many layers. Wonderful effect! Great idea for lining up and trimming too! Thanks so much for sharing :)
Ils sont magnifiques, Rhonda! Aimez tous les merveilleux morceaux froufrous!
How is one of my favorite people??
I think of you so often. Well, everytime I go in my bathroom as your piece is still up for all to admire!
I've not been creating much, only when necessary. Been working my way through some medical stuff.
I was blessed by your post. I can tell you're having a lot of fun!! -x- Jan (Thomason)
Thank you for showing all the steps in making your theaters. I never thought of using an emery board - that is an inspired tool.
