Do you have note card envelopes that you want to use up? At PIZZAZZ to your note card with my Note Card Fun Fold Tutorial.  My sister gifted me extra invitation envelopes and three weeks later, I finished creating ten ELEVEN fun fold cards using small card basis.

• Photos
• Diagrams for score and cutting for each card
