Diorama Card 1
Hi Guys!
I was inspired to try a Diorama card after reading brianna c1’s post on the MTC Forum and watching the video there, a Diorama card folds flat but when you open the card it pops up into a 3d box shape. I do love a card that moves or does something unexpected so this is right up my street. Of course I always have to complicate things even though I’d never made a Diorama card before, I added extra layers within the box area to form a scene.
My card was for a little girl who loves dancing and was having a bedroom makeover as part of her Birthday present including big fluffy rugs so that might explain why I designed the card as I did. Although I designed this card for a specific person, if any part of it can be of any use to you then you are very welcome to it :)
I cut my card from a sheet of A3 card and set the card height to approx 5.5 inches so it just fit on the sheet lengthways. I folded all of the score lines on my card then added each of the internal layers, attaching them by their folding side panels, starting with the front layer first working to the back. I cut each layer in a darker shade to add to the depth of scene and cut a panel of the darkest shade to glue to the back then used some strong tape to close the box area.

Fabulous card and love all the layers! Thanks so much!
Oh my goodness! This is a super fun card! I love all the pieces and will use them separately as well as on this diorama. I simply love dioramas, the idea of peeking into another world. Have you ever done one with animals? I have done it with fussy cutting and now I am thinking of one cut with the Silhouette, Hmmmmm!
And oh yes, THANK YOU very much!!!
This is wonderful! Thank you so much!!

Thank you for sharing this! I’m sure I’ll find use for the various shapes, but first and foremost, thank you for telling us about this fascinating concept for our cutting machines! You are such a treasure in our crafty community, always sharing not just great designs, but helpful tips and inspiring techniques!
The levels in darker hues, didn’t know that concept. I had noticed the depth, but didn’t realize how the levels darken until I read it. Thank you, for the file, but especially the tip.
Thank you for your creativity and generosity.
What a cool card! Thanks for sharing!
What a fun card. This is so sweet. I love it, I may give the diorama a try!!

What a cute card! I have a few granddaughters I could use this for!
Thanks again for sharing another fun card.
Thanks for sharing this lovely file! I love this type of cards.
OMG – you never cease to amaze me – you must be a true technical whizz to know how something will fold up and how things will work out with each other – either that or you are super patient…
Thank you for then sharing all your hard work with us – I can’t thank you enough.
best wishes
