"Squeaker's Ride", Joy Fold Card!

Good Morning!
It's time for a brand new challenge at
This month's PRIZE challenge is
Something New!
For my, "Something New" card I chose to make a 
JOY FOLD CARD
using
This was my first time making a Joy Fold Card
and I would like to share how I did it.
I cut my yellow card stock 7 1/2" long X 5 1/4" wide.
Then I scored it at 5 1/4"
I decorated the 5 1/4" square inside with designer paper.
I punched a 5 1/4" X 1 1/4" strip of orange
I adhered the punched edge to the 
inside of the 2 1/4" flap
 and decorated the front side with designer paper.
I made a small card with a 7" X 3 1/2" piece of card stock.
I scored it at 3 1/2" and decorated 
both the inside and the outside.
I colored my
Fresh Brewed Designs 
with my copic markers.
This is my first time using this adorable digi stamp!
Isn't is precious?
I'm partial to mice images!
I actually collect the Wee Folk Mice!
However, Let me be perfectly clear....
I'm afraid of real mice!
Anything that can run that fast and climb up my leg
scares me!
Whoops, I'm rambling....
Back to my card!
The sentiment is Stampin' Up
I adhered my small little Squeeekers Ride card 
to the center of the 5 1/4" square on the inside.
You fold the bottom half of the large card up over
the bottom of the inside of the small card.
Then I added a circle, "Happy Birthday" sentiment
to tuck the bottom left corner of the small card under.
This will keep the card closed.
This is the finished card!
And this is what the inside looks like.
As I mentioned in my 
"Peek inside my craft room" post,
earlier, I discovered that I have a lot of 
ORANGE RIBBON!
This pretty dotted orange ribbon is brand new!
I promised myself that I would make 
an Orange card to use my 
Orange ribbon.
As a matter of fact, I may have 
gotten a little carried away with the
Orange!
The important thing is that I had lots 
of fun making this little Squeaker card!
New Ribbon
New Image
New Fold
This is a fun prize challenge!
