"Hello" card


Crazy4Challenges is celebrating World Hello Day with a challenge creating a "hello" card.  I tried to incorporate it with a Counterfeit Kit challenge to make a card that "pops".  Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to use any of the scraps left in my kit.  But, I still wanted to make a card that "popped", thus my dimensional card.  

Being the first time trying to make a card like this and not taking the time to find a tutorial, I kept messing up my folds and scoring.  The card slightly warped.  But I still love it.  I cut the letters with my Cricut.  However, the blue/green cardstock was hand cut.  I vested so much into this card that I felt committed to my plan.  See the side view:
And, the messy back view that shows the slits and folds:
I'll definitely do better next time.  I had a eureka during the process -- finally! 

If only I had a few minions, I'd make dozens of these cards!!

Have a blessed day!!
