3D Aurora Blooms Shadowbox with Rattan Paper-Weaving | Let’s Get Crafty with Caly!
Hi everyone! It’s Caly Person here today!
I have a special shadowbox project to share today that features some paper-weaving! I love 3D flowers so I’ve used the Aurora Blooms set to shape them for 3D flowers on today’s project.
I used the Tim Holtz/Sizzix Shaping Kit to turn the 2D die-cut Aurora Blooms into 3D flowers/foliage.

The weaving part of this project was the hardest part – but it’s so worth it to have a unique background for a project like this. This rattan pattern is a favorite of mine and I’m glad I got to try it and use it on this shadowbox! Be sure to check out the video above to see how it’s done and to get instructions!
After weaving, I ink-blended my die-cuts and shaped them with the Tim Holtz/Sizzix Shaping Kit. I created little flower buds from smaller flower die-cuts. I didn’t add a sentiment to this since it’s not a card – but what do you think? I really didn’t want to cover up the beautiful weave with another element and I didn’t think it was necessary.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you like this project!

This is gorgeous
I think your project looks amazing! The ink-blending on the die-cuts must have given them such a beautiful, soft look, and using the Tim Holtz/Sizzix Shaping Kit for dimension is a brilliant touch. I completely agree with you about not adding a sentiment—it allows the beautiful weave and flower buds to really shine without being overshadowed by any extra elements. Sometimes less is more, and your design really highlights that! It sounds like a stunning piece.
