Happiness Is . . . Fun Fold Greeting Card (Crazy Card Chics 07/22/2023)

Howdy, paper crafters!  Hope you're having a fun summer -- hot and humid here lately.  Yesterday, for instance, temps were either close to or in the 90s, and then we had rain coming down in buckets later in the day!!!  Gotta love Denver weather!  You never know from one minute to the next what might happen!

Today I'm showing you a card I designed for Crazy Card Chics July card kits to go.  Fun card and pretty easy to make!  Inspiration for this card came from Fiona Whitten, Oakfield Crafts (Third Fold WOW Card - A Simple Fun Fold Card (oakfieldcrafts.com).)

If you know me at all, you know I'm kind of a coffee-holic -- drink the stuff from early in the morning until late in the day!  So this card was especially fun for me to make!
