Fold Out Christmas Tree Farm Card



I made this card for Craft Roulette #239 the parameters were to make an interactive card with picnic colors, farm elements, and strips of paper.
I’m not sure what this card fold is called but I am obsessed with it. It’s so easy to score and it looks like a rock star. The first picture shows what it looks like when you take it out of the cart. You don’t even see the trees on the outside until you open it up. I love that when you do open it up you have a full 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 view that stands up for display. 
My picnic color is green. My farm is a Christmas tree farm and I have 2 strips of silver Sizzix mirror paper on the insides. I had a hard time getting the two darkest colored trees to fold in so you wouldn’t see them until the card was opened.
The front of the card is a Cricut draw, and I did it with a glitter marker. The middle Christmas   tree is from a store bought card, but the other trees were cut with my Cricut. The star top are from a corner punch that is made of stars. The perfect little size for things like this. I drew the tree trunks on with colored pencils and Copic markers.
Thanks for looking. HAGD!
