Today I am sharing a different kind of project! It’s Christmas mixed media canvas or you can call it a shadow box.
I had so much fun making it and I really love the final result. I plan on making many more of these to hand out as gifts to some of my dear friends.
The idea was to create a window where you can see that outside is snowing!For this project I have worked on the reverse of a square canvas.
All the products used are by stamperia. Stamperia is an Italian company, with great products and you can get them online too. Especially if you live in Europe make sure to check them out!
My favorite details on this project had to be the snow outside of the window and that mini bottle full of glitter!
You can enjoy a step by step video tutorial below or at my YouTube channel
Supplies:
The paper I have used for the background scene is currently sold out. But you can get the exact same pattern in this amazing 12×12 paper pad. Or you can use this napkin with the exact same design! Hope this helps!
Thank you for watching!
Gorgeous shadow box
and I love all that snow!

This is so beautiful! Your creativity never ceases to amaze me! I love grabbing a cup of coffee and watching your video’s. Thank you so much for doing all of this for us.
What a beautiful canvas. I really thought you had used an old painted frame. Could not believe it was scrapbook paper. Love this project.
Your window is really a beautiful addition to my decorations! It i light and can be hung in the place of another picture during the holidays. Great idea. The only thing that seems missing from the frosty window that would be more realistic (but I’m sure not wanted) would be a child’s finger drawing in the frost of a snowman LOL. At least when I was little all the frosty windows were filled with finger drawings on the lower panes where my little brothers could reach. I was tall enough to hide them higher behind the drapes. (Good memories.)
Wow! You have outdone yourself! This is just beautiful! Awe inspiring as all of your projects are!
This is just so beautiful Vicki! I would love more videos like this.
Vicky that is gorgeous. I just love winter scenes with snow.!!!!!
LOVE this one and would love to see more mixed media from you!
