Hi Stampers!
Today we are going to create a Joy Fold Card. This is one of my go to fun folds . I can usually funds scraps of patterned paper to use for the panels. The card is easy to create, and is a nice break from the usual A2 card. The card base measures and is scored a bit differently from a standard A2 base, and there is a smaller card that provides the focal point for the card front. If you happen to have larger scraps of cardstock it might be possible to use them for the small card. Let’s take a look at today’s sample cards:

TODAY’S CARDS
The Joy Fold Card is one I keep in my folder of “Classic Card Folds.” Each of these card folds is tried and true; like Z Folds and Gate Folds! Like the Z Folds and Gate Folds, the Joy Fold card can be created in a portrait orientation, the dimensions of the small card can be altered to your liking. Turn the card 180 degrees and the small card will open from the right as opposed to the left. The Joy Fold Card is a classic, can help use up scraps, can be created in different orientations, and can be altered to fit your needs! What more could you ask for? Why not give this card fold a try?
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Until next time. . .
Stamp Happy!
