My first Bifold Card
Hello, everyone! Today I'm sharing a Bifold Card! This is the first time I've made one! If you are familiar with my blog, then you will know I do not make many fancy fold cards because I struggle with them, and this was no exception! However, I was inspired by Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge, whose theme is Spin the Butterfly Wheel with B for Bifold. Mrs. A's inspiration cards were so pretty, and she provided a lovely tutorial, so I had to try it! I probably will not make this fold again, but I am happy with how it turned out.
