Double Diamond Popup Card

I love the challenge of creating different shaped cards and adding dimensional flowers.  This is a 6x6 inch card.  It is a Double Diamond Popup Card.  I found the instructions on Sam Calcott's YouTube Video.   

For the side panels, I used Susan's Bamboo 3-D Embossing Folder and cut them down to fit.  They were die cut using green metallic cardstock.  They are mounted onto white cardstock.  For the small triangles on center section, I used the same metallic green cardstock.  After cutting the pieces to fit, they were placed in the Altenew Garden Harmony 3-D Embossing Folder.  For the center diamond shapes, I embossed a piece of white cardstock using the Altenew Angled Mosaic 3-D Embossing Folder.  It was cut to fit and glued to the top of the diamond shapes.  

On the side panels, I used Susan's Carolina Allspice die set and created the branches of flowers.  They were die cut using Susan's Specialty Cardstock, colored with OLO markers, and shaped using Susan's Flower Tool Kit.  The card was closed to the 6x6 shape and held down using the reverse tweezers so I could glue the Carolina Allspice down so it didn't intefere with the diamond when the card is closed.  

For the top diamond, Susan's Cactus Dahlia die set was used for the flower.  It was die cut using Susan's Specialty Cardstock, colored with OLO markers and shaped with the Flower Tool Kit.  

One of the stamps from Susan's Garden Favorites Stamp Set was used for the Sentiment.  It was stamped using VersaFine Black Ink, clear embossed, then die cut using a square die.  It was backed with a piece of the same green cardstock as the base card and mounted with dimensional tape

This card will fold down and fit in a 6x6 inch clear acrylic box for mailing.  When open, it stands up for a great display card.
