Happy Birthday to my Daughter!

Good Morning Blog Readers! I hope you didn’t fall prey to any April Fools jokes yesterday. I have to tell you that back in 1985, I was 2 weeks overdue for my first baby. I was terrified to think that I may deliver on April Fools Day but alas, the day went by and I delivered Jessica the following day….phew, that was close! I have a high school friend that was born on April Fools and she was always teased and I did not want that for my child!

So for today’s card I have Jessica’s birthday card that I will be giving her tonight when we meet for supper:

I saw a card shaped like this on Pinterest and thought it was so neat. I wanted the folded-over flap on the front to stay nice and round on the fold so I devised a plan…

I took a skewer, cut it a little shorter than my rounded fold and added Sticky Strip to the skewer and tucked and pressed it in place under the flap and voila, a rounded fold! And yes, this idea was my very own! I also like the looks of the two flowers that I glued over and under the fold in a rounded fashion. To coordinate my card, I made a flap for my envelope with the Envelope Liners Framelits Dies:
