Sending Hugs Fun Fold Card

I recently attended the Level 3 Altenew Educator Certification Program workshop for Revati Panickar, and this was one of the cards we made during the workshop. I love how it turned out! The stamped florals are from Altenew's Build-A-Garden: Nature's Magic set, and the sentiments are from Altenew's Build-A-Garden: Peruvian Lily set. The stitched rectangle dies are from Gina Marie Designs. If you'd like to see details about the shaker card we also made in Revati's workshop, here's a link to the post: Carrie's Custom Cards: Nature's Magic Shaker Card

This is an A2 card, and I started by creating a side-folding A2 card base out of teal cardstock. I adhered a piece of white cardstock (4 by 5 1/4 inches) to the front of the card, adhering only the outside edges. Then I die cut a rectangle out of the center of the front panel. I saved the teal rectangle and then die cut the white rectangle with the next smallest size in the Gina Marie Designs set. I stamped "hello" onto the white panel and adhered it to the teal rectangle. 

I created a z-fold card a quarter inch smaller than my A2 card base and adhered it to the inside of the teal cardbase with the z fold facing to the right. I stamped "sending hugs" onto the inside panel. 

For my floral stamps, I stamped the images using VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink and then added Altenew's clear embossing powder and heat set them. Then I used Altenew's Lagoon and Fresh Leaf inks with the coordinating stencils to color in the stamped images. I die cut them with the coordinating dies and then adhered one of the images to the rectangle piece and one to the inside of the card base. 

To finish the card, I closed it and lined up the rectangle opening to know where to adhere the teal rectangle. After adhering the panel, I added 3 of Altenew's Black Onyx Gem Sparkles to complete the card.
