Bird Minicard Trio

Bird Minicard Trio

This adorable trio of paper bird envelopes immediately caught my attention when I popped into the Upon a Fold shop recently. Each little bird has its own unique character (the birdie with his little pink feet in the air makes me giggle so much), and there’s a folded card inside that you can use for letter writing, invitation making, or gift card giving. The clever minicards come with double-sided sticky dots, so you can easily attach them to everything from gifts to scrapbook pages.
