3-D Daisy Chrysanthemum Card

Good Morning,

Today I have a very different shaped card.  I used the Spellbinders, Amazing Paper Grace, Grand Holiday Cabinet die set for my card base.  This is actually a die set with a Holiday Greeting that is used on the front panel, but I eliminated that die cut piece and used the Cabinet die cuts to display purple Daisy Chrysanthemums using Susan's new Autumn Floral die sets.  It is nice to be able to get creative and use your dies for something other than what they were originally designed for!

Using the Grand Holiday Cabinet die set, five panels were die cut without the sentiment die, using white card stock.  The larger outline die was used to die cut one purple backing.  You can see the different layers in the picture above.  

For the quote on the inside of the card, I used Susan's Autumn Quotes clear stamp set.  The quote was stamped on the die cut from the center of the decorative panels.  It was sponged around the edges with purple ink, using a sponge dauber, and attached on the back purple panel using Adhesive Foam Squares.  The die cut panels were then inserted in the side panels with one of the panels attached to the top.  This is a very easy cabinet to create.  I do recommend using a heavier card stock such as 100 lb.  

Using Susan's Foliage & Ladybug die set, four eucalyptus branches were die cut using white card stock.  Green ink was brushed on the stem and base of the leaves.  Two branches were attached to the upper left side of the cabinet, and two branches on the lower right side.  Using the same die set, a berry branch was die cut.  It was sponged with green and brown inks then white Nuvo Crystal Drops added for berries.  The branch was cut apart and pieces attached over the eucalyptus leaves.

Susan's Button/Daisy Chrysanthemum die set was used to create three purple daisy chrysanthemums. Two shades of purple ink was brushed on to color the flowers.   Prills were added to the center.   The chrysanthemum leaves were sponged green, shaped and placed under the flowers.

This card folds flat and will fit into a clear acrylic box, but is a 3-D card that is beautiful when opened and will display well on a shelf or mantel.
