I have earned the nickname of Fancy-Fold Queen at Altenew because I love to create show-stopper cards which have an element of surprise for the recipient. I also love finding different ways to combine Altenew’s stamps, dies, embossing folders and other products to create pretty cards. Here is a triple-easel card I created recently for an Altenew Retreat.

I just love to add a riot of colorful flowers to any project I create and this was no exception! I used the Wispy Blooms stamp and die set (https://shrsl.com/40dmf ) and the Antique Linen 3D embossing folder (https://shrsl.com/40dmi ), stamped and colored lots of flowers and leaves and added texture in 3 areas for more interest. Although I did make this card into an encouragement card for a friend who is going through chemo currently, just a simple change of sentiments would make it into a special Birthday, Mother’s Day or even a Wedding card. The options are endless.

Here is a side view of the card.

I hope I have inspired you to create fancy fold cards too. They are so much fun to make and even more fun for the recipient!
