Bright Birthday Card

Here's the second of two cards that I made 14 of for an online Cricut Circle Canadian Members all occasion card swap (which was open to US residents as well):

I started with an A2 card base and scored and folded the front of the card in half.  I added and additional piece that started at about  five inches wide but scored and folded it to fit into the flap that was created by scoring the card base.   This second piece became the front of the card. 

 When you open the front, there is the second layer:

Finally, you open that and there is the inside of the card:
