I love fun folds and one of my favorites is the Joy fold. It lives up to its name! I chose to use the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper which is part of the Pansy Petals Suite. Also in the suite, and used on my card, is the stamp set Pansy Patch, Pansy Dies, and the cutest Bumblebee Trinkets!
There are so many beautiful colors, I chose Soft Succulent for the two card bases. The large base is 8 1/2" X 4 1/4", scored and folded at 5 1/2 " on the long side. The second smaller base, is 8" X 4", scored and folded on the long side at 4 ".
Notice the smaller card's fold is to the right. Now all that is left is the decorating!
Designer series paper for the large base is 5 1/4" X 4"; the outside and inside flaps are 4" X 2 3/4". For the small card you will need one piece for the front and one for the inside flap, 3 3/4" X 2 3/4". For my sentiment I used a scrap of Basic White Cardstock and cut it with the 3rd smallest scallop from the Color and Contour Scalloped Dies.
The pansy on the sentiment piece is cut using a pansy die from the designer series paper. One of the patterns has large and small pansies that cut with two dies in the Pansy Dies.
To hold a Joy fold card closed you can use a belly band but I prefer to use an embellishment to hold the small card.
I hope you enjoy making this card and that you are finding lots of inspiration on our hop.
