Book/ Shadowbox Card

Hey everyone!

Jenn here, back again with another week of guest designing.  Thank you so very much for all your comments the past two weeks- they really mean a lot!

I am so impressed with all the gorgeous creations from the DT showcasing all the new dies.  They all did such a wonderful job with their projects, didn't they?  The new dies are all so lovely, I had such a hard time deciding which ones I wanted! I would not be surprised if they are here in time for me to play with by my post next week.  One thing I absolutely love about ordering directly from Cheery Lynn is how super fast my order ships.  

This week while looking around for inspiration, I found some really pretty cards that I wanted to give a try.  I have seen them called book cards or shadowbox cards.  I also have a few border/edger dies that I haven't used yet which I thought would work perfectly for this type of project.  Here is my first go (lots of pictures):


This is the front of the card, the ribbon on the side is to tie the two covers closed. 


This was taken from a different angle, to show the dimension of the flowers.



Here is a close up of the flowers.  I've used the Daisy Strip, Shasta Daisy Strip and Chrysanthemum Strip.  There is also some different foliage (list at bottom), a bark heart and some flower buds that my darling toddler brought to me to add in lol!


 This is the inside of the card- the shadowbox portion.  As you can see, I've been playing around with bits and pieces again :)  The only problem I have with that is I tend to forget which dies I've used pieces from!  Doesn't the Felicity Doily look a bit like a lace sun?  So pretty.  I've also used another Daisy Strip, but this time I folded the petals in half lengthwise before shaping the rest of the way.



 And lastly, here is a picture of the inside cover.  I chose this paper out of the bunch because of the lined section which will give me a spot to write my sentiment/message once I decide what to use the card for.

That's it for me this week- wishing everyone a fantastic weekend!
