Star Fold Christmas Card

 I recently attended an Altenew Educator Workshop led by Liz Ortiz, and we created fabulous star-shaped fun fold cards! 

For my card, I followed Liz's instructions and measurements using silver metallic cardstock, white cardstock, and watercolor paper I had watercolored and sprayed with shimmer spray for the blue elements. I did some embossing to add more texture to the panels. Here are the products I used from Altenew: Poinsettia Layering Die Set, Winterberry Poinsettia 3D embossing folder, Perfect Poinsettias 3D embossing folder, Fancy Peace die, and Blessings stamp set.
