Until yesterday, I’d never made a “Bay Window Card” and I just love it! Now I’m sure that many of you have made this type of card fold before, but perhaps you’ve forgotten about them. Either way, if you would like to make a Bay Window card for the first time, or if today’s tutorial is simply a reminder of this truly FUN FOLD card for you, I hope you enjoy creating one of these!
I used my “Happy Hedgehog” stamp set (I didn’t use the coordinating punch), as well as scrap bits and pieces on my desk!
The inspiration and tutorial (below) are from Terri Brumagim:
