Bay Window Card

It was my daughter's birthday this week and this is the card I made for her.   When I saw the instructions for a Bay Window card HERE I thought I'd give it a try.   It's a new fold to me and the fold is so much easier to make than it looks.  I decided to use three brads to keep the 'window' in the right place when the card is stood up.

The papers are from an old Papermania paper pad.  The sentiment was typed on the computer, leaving room for a Memory Box 'Pippi Butterfly' and die cut using a Memory Box 'Stitched Square Layers' die.  I decided to use three brads to keep the 'window' in the right place when the card is stood up.

Although I handed the card to my daughter, this design folds flat for posting.

I am joining in the following challenges:
