BADGER BESTIES BIRTHDAY - MAKING A JOY FOLD CARD

 Hi Stampers!

If you have followed my blog or myYou Tube channel for any length of time you know I enjoy cute critter images. Today’s project is a Joy Fold Card created using the BADGER BESTIES stamp set. The badger images in this set are adorable and perfect for kid cards (or cards for anyone). Here is the card I made:


Here is the inside of the card


And here is the stamp set

Joy Fold Cards are easy to make and a fun twist on the classic greeting card. The size of the smaller card can be adjusted to fit different sized images or sentiments. You can orient the card differently as well, for even more creative options. Below is a portrait version of a Joy Fold Card.

Aren’t the BADGER BESTIES images cute? My card was created for my soon to be 1 year old great-nephew, but I think adults would enjoy receiving a cute badger card too! I hope you give the Joy Fold Card a try, whether with the BADGER BESTIES stamp set or any other stamp set. 

That’s all for today! Thank you for stopping by. Until next time…
