It looks pretty ordinary on the outside with the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper.
The magic happens when you open it! The cute birds from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set are looking right at you! Even the trees pop up because a full tree was fussy cut and added on top of the trees that were cut off.

Easy Fun Fold Card for Kids to Make
Won’t they love using these adorable animals from the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper?
There are dancers, crafters, campers and lots of creatures celebrating birthdays in this paper pack so have fun choosing which ones to use!
The sentiment “follow your own path” comes from the Your Path Awaits stamp set and the “every thought of you makes me smile” come from the Textured Floral stamp set. One of the fun things about collecting stamp sets is the variety of sentiments that you can mix and match with 0ther sets.
Make a refreshing lemonade card for summer!
Using the accordion fold as a table top give an entirely different look! The So Refreshing Bundle really fits its name and of course, pairing it with the red checked tablecloth (from the Glorious Gingham Designer Series Paper) is as traditional as it gets (for this untraditional card).
The lovely flowers on the card front are also from this set.
This certainly makes me want to go a picnic. How about you?
