Fun Fold Birthday Card

Hi there!  Wow, we had some high winds yesterday!  My heart goes out to the families affected by the tornado that hit Washington, IL.  We certainly have been experiencing some crazy weather! 
How about a card to change the mood?  The above sample was from our October Card Buffet, which is showcasing the Cycle Celebration stamp set and Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper.  The inspiration for this card came from Aly Schilling.  You can see her card and video here (scroll down to Sep 19 post).

Here is a view of the card opened.

A couple of changes were made to my card - one being the Decorative Label embellishment was positioned across the ribbon to act as a closure.  The card base color was changed, too.  The fold is easier to make than it looks.  Give it a try!
