Bay Window Anniversary Card

My daughter and son-in-law have their first wedding anniversary coming up soon, and I made this card for them during a class by Altenew Educator Pam Bodecker where she showed us how to stamp Altenew's Billowing Peonies large floral stamp twice onto a sheet of 8 1/2 by 11-inch cardstock using the Stampwheel 2.0 to create 4 A2 card panels. I also used stamps from Altenew's Build-A-Garden: Nature's Magic stamps between the two Billowing Peonies stamps to fill in the gap (those are the yellow flowers). I made a set of 4 Bay Window fold cards from the 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of cardstock I stamped and ink blended during Pam's class. The cards fold flat to fit in an envelope (see the third photo below).  I love getting 2-for-1 cards, but 4-for-1 is even better! The removable side of the Stampwheel 2.0 is pure genius! I needed some get well soon and thank you cards, also, so I used those sentiments on the other 3 cards in the set. My daughter loves peonies and pink and was delighted when I gave her the card yesterday when she was over for a Father's Day dinner at our house.

The small tab on the right side of the card gets tucked under the panel on the inside of the card that has foam tape on one side to lift it a bit for the tab to slide under:

A look at the other cards I made from the same sheet of cardstock I had stamped and ink blended through the coordinating stencils:

For the "thank you" and "feel better" sentiments, I used stamped and coordinating dies from Altenew's Build-A-Garden: Grand Carnations set. For the "Happy anniversary" die cut, I used Altenew's Essential Sentiment Strips Die Set.
