This is for TLC815, which you can find HERE.
Don't be intimidated, it's WAY easier than it looks. Decorating it takes as long or longer than the basic construction.
I'll use this for my SIL, I always make leafy themed cards for her birthday.
All papers are BoBunny. The face of the cube on the front right had least detail in the DP, so I embossed it with the Darice ef and swiped over it with orange ink.
The two sentiments are both from ODBD's Autumn Blessings. I used the TH 3D leaf impresslit to cut some leaves from watercolour paper, and coloured them with Twinkling H2Os. I made extra sunflowers last week when I was making my Teapot Tuesday card, and they went well here. The centres are brown card embossed with SU's square lattice.
I wanted to add a little interest into the "floors" of the cubes. so I added a green leaf and ladybug on the bottom left. On the bottom right, I stamped the Concord & 9th tree ring and cut a wedge out of it to fit. The ladybird on this one is on a iittle pleated strip of card so it pops up. I was originally going to use foam tape, but I wanted it to fold as flat as possible.
I die-cut my ladybirds, brought them over my desk and as I was trying to poke the red out of one of the dies, it dropped. I don't know why even my super-powerful welding magnet didn't seem to find it, I had to wait till daylight the next morning. I now have a very clean floor - and my die. I seem to be making a habit of dropping them at the moment, sigh...

Lovely. A keeper!
I like that embossed panel touch. Extra interest along with the flower centers and the ladybirds. I was wondering if that one was on foam but you managed a tiny pop up fold!
Sometimes I think of cards as making me do stuff-like that one made me realize I needed to re-org something and that one made me have to clean the floor....lol

This turned out beautiful. I love the fall colors and all the embellishments. Looking forward to trying this.
I can relate to the floor droppings. It's not unusual to find me on my hands and knees under the desk.

For me, the favorite part of this wonderful card is the lady bug...or lady bird as you say. That is such an inspired touch. Now you need a little froggie or something like that. This is a keepsake.
