Yesterday my hubby asked me to make a birthday card for his mom, so I pulled up some sketches and challenges and got to work. I've been thinking about playing along with Double Trouble's Gimme S'more challenge to create a fancy fold card using lots of layers and "stuff," so I did some research and found out how to make a bridge fold card. I love that you get all the dimension yet it folds flat for mailing! I added a pocket for the tag, which pulls out so my hubby can write a nice note to his mom.
