Video Friday | Paper Diorama / Figurine Holder with Olga
Hi there, it’s Olga and I am back with another 3D project tutorial. I have literally gasped when I first saw Becca Feeken’s new 3D card dies. This is the type of dies that I have been waiting for – the one that allows you to easily create a diorama or a shadow box template just by cutting out all elements and then assembling it.
My favorite die set from this collection is Grand Arch 3D Card just because it has a simple rectangle for an outline which makes it super versatile and suitable for all styles.
I have used this gorgeous die set to create a diorama that holds a plaster figurine. You could also place any other small things inside like a pot with a succulent or a cactus, a tiny vase with real or artificial flowers or any other treasured memorabilia.
I have also used some other Spellbinders dies that coordinate great with the 3D card template – the gorgeous Nordic Tree made a perfect background and it fits right inside the arch! I combined the flowers and leaves from different sets to twirl around the trellis and I finally added a die cut sentiment to a label and placed it at the bottom of the arch.
This project might look super complicated when you first see it – but I assure you it is much much easier to make than it seems because most of work is already done for you by the die creators and it is really just about die cutting and putting it together!

I…LOVE…IT!!! Thanks for showing how to put these dies by Becca Feeken together. I just bought several and wasn’t sure if they came with good directions. I’m a visual learner, so your video was SO easy to help me understand the workings of the dies. I especially love how you tucked the little angel into the Grand Arch!!! I like the idea of putting a little pot with flowers in it too. I will use that idea to make three of them for my stamping group. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Joy! I mostly focused on decorating part in my video but in this tutorial Becca Feeken gives very clear instructions on how to put together her 3D cards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJggSLLgEHo&t=5s

Olga, thank you so much for the great video on the figurine holder using the new Becca Feeken Card die set. I love the card set but thought it would be very difficult to do, but after watching the video I think I could even do it. I do hope many others watch your video too. Thank you for sharing your beautiful idea.
