craftykarendesigns: Share it on a Sunday - Favourite Fun Fold Card - Joy Fold

Hi Everyone,

You all know that I love a fun fold card, but which to choose as a favourite? I have so many favourites but one I come back to time after time is the Joy Fold card, I just love it. It's also known (in Taffycrafting circles anyway) as a Flip Flop card. I haven't been crafting much lately due to being ill and no crafty mojo, so what better way to try and bring it back than with a favourite fold and my absolute favourite Suite of products.

Materials

1 piece of night of navy card stock 4 1/4" x 9 3/8", 1 piece 3 1/4" x 8 1/4", scrap for the sentiment

1 piece of dsp 4" x 6", 2 pieces 2 7/8" x 4", 2 pieces 3" x 4"

1 piece of basic white 3" x 4", scrap for the sentiment

Night of navy ink

Happiness Abounds stamp set

Stylish Shapes dies

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Multipurpose Adhesive

Dimensionals

Instructions

On the long side score the largest piece of navy card at 6 1/4", fold and burnish to make the larger portion of the card. On the long side score the smaller piece at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the smaller card.

Add all the dsp layers - remember that the small card opens the opposite way to the larger one. I've stamped a flower on the plainer pieces of dsp that are on the inside of the card.

Adhere the smaller card on top of the larger one so that it sits centrally and opens the opposite way to the larger one.

Stamp a sentiment on the piece of white for the inside and adhere in place.

Stamp a sentiment on a scrap of white and die cut with the Stylish Shapes banner that fits the sentiment. I decided to back my sentiment with another banner cut in the navy card just to strengthen it a bit as I am using it as a latch to keep the card closed. Add the banner with a couple of dimensionals at the left side so that you can tuck the flap from the smaller card into it.

There you go, a quick and easy Joy Fold (Flip Flop) card which is my favourite fun fold (today) haha.
