Sending Love Sympathy Fun Fold Card

I recently watched a video by Susan Campfield in which she created what she called a Panorama Pop-Up Card. I loved the card design and plan to make more of them using different colors. If you'd like the dimensions and instructions, here's a link to the video: Panorama Pop-Up Cards Suestampfield Crafternoon Creative Escape May 2025

Because this was a sympathy card, I chose black for my pop-ups on the front of the card. But I like to make my sympathy cards cheerful and uplifting, so I also used the pretty pink, yellow, and blue color palette from Altenew's Monthly Inspiration Challenge this month. I die cut some flowers from Altenew's Craft-A-Flower: Dendrobium Orchid set out of yellow cardstocks and watercolor papers I had watercolored and/or sprayed. I used a die cut foliage piece from Altenew's Zero Waste: Berries & Branches set that I die cut out of watercolor paper I had watercolored using Altenew's Dusk Watercolor Marker Refill. Then I die cut the "Sending Love" sentiment from Altenew's Strong Oak Stencil and Die set. I used watercolor paper I had watercolored with Altenew's Baby Pink Gouache. Then I ink blended a bit of Puffy Heart Crisp Dye Ink onto the top of the die cut sentiment for an ombré effect. I arranged my sentiment and die cuts on the largest of the pop-up panels on the front of the card and added them with Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape and Art Glitter glue. I also stacked several die cut sentiments together for dimension on the sentiment. 

For the inside of the card, I stamped and heat embossed the "with deepest sympathy" stamp onto black cardstock. The stamp is from Altenew's Build-A-Flower: Columbine set. I trimmed the sentiment panel and added it to the inside of the card using more foam tape and then added 3 rhinestones to embellish the panel.
