Hello stampers! Today I have two cards to share that are variations of the same fun fold. Today’s cards are examples of the Joy Fold Card. This is one of my favorite fun folds, as it is quick and easy; can be simple or decked out with all kinds of embellishments, and it is truly fun to make!
Here are the cards:
To make these cards I used three stamp set. Mixing stamp set images is a way to get more out of your stamp collection! All the stamp sets I used are found in the current annual catalog. Here are the sets I used:
The Pretty Peacock card base is 8” x 4 1/4”, scored at 5 1/2”.
The smaller card is 8” x 3”, scored at 4”.
There are two pieces of Whisper White that measure 3 3/4” x 2 3/4”. One is for the outside focal image and one for the inside of the card.
There are two pieces of DSP. Mine are from the Plaid Tidings DSP found in the current mini catalog.
The larger piece is 5 1/4” x 4”, the smaller one is 4” x 2 1/4”.
For this card my greeting and evergreen boughs were stamped with Shaded Spruce ink.
I added a bit of embellishment with a few of the Wonderful Gems found in the current mini catalog.
The Thank You is from the Ornate Thanks Stamp set. The stamp set is photopolymer. The Thank You is one stamp, but I cut the words apart so I could stamp the “you” under the thanks.” If I want the “thank you” to be on one line I just place the two pieces back together on the acrylic block, and stamp.
The evergreen boughs are from the Rustic Retreat stamp set. I also stamped the evergreen boughs in the corners of the Whisper White Cardstock for the inside of the card.
Here are the measurements for the portrait version of the card:
The Pretty Peacock cardbase is 5 1/2” x 6 3/8”, scored along the 6 3/8” side at 4 1/4”.
The smaller card is 6” x 4”, scored along the 6” side at 3”.
The Plaid Tidings DSP pieces are cut at 5 1/4” x 4” and 2” x 4”.
The two Whisper White pieces are cut at 3 3/4” x 2 3/4”.
The greeting from Happiest of Birthdays is stamped with Pretty Peacock ink. The evergreen boughs are also stamped with Pretty Peacock full strength, and stamped off.
I added three gilded gems for a bit of shimmer and shine.
I used another sentiment from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set for the inside of the card.
Why not try the Joy Fold Card in both portrait and landscape versions. Another great thing about this fun fold is you can position the smaller card so it opens from either the left or the right! The fold is so versatile, no wonder it is called a Joy Fold Card! I hope these cards provide you with greatinkspirations!
Until next time...
Stamp Happy!
