Tri-Fold Birthday Card

     We have a fairly large family so when it comes to birthdays, we always have difficulty finding a card with ample room for all of us to write a birthday note. Recently, I came across a great idea for a large card.
Introducing: the tri-fold card!


Supplies:
- 1 sheet of thick, patterned paper
- 1 sheet of construction paper, the color of your choice
- Glue stick
- Scissors
- Decorative edge scissors
- X-acto knife (or in my case, box cutters)
- Calligraphy pen


     First, cut your sheet of patterned paper in half.
