Stamping with Friends Blog Hop - Fancy Fold Birthday

It’s time for another Blog Hop! I’m hopping with my Stamping With Friends group and we are all making birthday cards and, they had to feature a “fancy fold” or fun fold.” I love Fun Folds because they are just a little more interesting than a foldover card. I especially love Fun Folds for a special occasion because it’s a little extra special something — perfect for birthdays! Excited to be part of this group and share my project with you today.
