I have nothing against a standard card with a regular fold, but I love to shift gears with a fun fold. This is one of the two modified joy fold cards I made last night on Facebook Live. A typical joy fold uses two folded pieces that nest together. My pieces here give the same effect, but they are more like flaps.
The products used on this card will be available from the Come Sail Away Suite starting June 4.
On this one, the flap on the left is part of the base piece. The flap on the right is a separate piece, attached to the base before the Whisper White mat is added.
Dimensions are as follows:
Sahara Sand 5 1/2″ x 6 3/4″, scored at 4 1/4″ and 3″ x 3 1/2″, scored at 1/2″
Night of Navy 2 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ and 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″
Designer Paper 2″ x 5″ and 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″
Whisper White 4″ x 5 1/4″ and 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″
My second version uses two flaps and coordinating patterns from the Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper collection. On the left, I used a stamp and dies from Coffee Cafe, and on the right, I used Pocketful of Sunshine.
I added a slot to the inside of one flap with the Classic Label Punch. The dimensions are as follows:
Cardstock for Card Base 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
Whisper White 4″ x 5 1/4″
Cardstock for flaps 3″ x 3 1/2″, scored at 1/2″ and 4 1/4″ x 3 3/4″, scored at 1/2″
Designer Paper 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ and 4″ x 3″
You can adapt any of these flap sizes to your stamps and layout. This post was meant as a supplement to last night’s Facebook Live. Click here to be directed to the video.
