Joy Fold card

Today’s project is called it a Joy Fold Card. it is definitely a joy to make . The Wildly Flowering DSP is the star of the card of course.

Papers

This fun card is one I cased from a dear friend The Paper Pixie. You get to see both sides of the paper with this Joy Fold and I love that. This large main piece of paper is from the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper. The smaller focal layer piece is also from the same pack of papers. I paired these gorgeous papers with Crumb Cake card stock for the card base, with a layer of Basic White underneath each DSP layer. A white layer against the Crumb Cake has always been a favorite of mine and with the white in the main DSP pattern it really pops.

Here is an open view of the card.

With the card open you can really allow the DSP to shine. And this view shows the simplicity of the card as well.

Stamps and Ink

The focal layer stamped images are from two separate sets. The flower is from the Wildflower Designs stamp set. On the front I stamped using Pecan Pie Ink and then colored the flower with the Light Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blend. On the inside of the small card I stamped the smaller, but similar, image using Crumb Cake Ink that is stamped off first.

The sentiment is from the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set. This set is full of great sentiments. I wanted something simple and that would allow for this card to work for almost any occasion. The small “hello” works perfectly. I stamped it using Misty Moonlight Ink. The focal layer is fairly simple as well. I used the Modern Oval Punch to cut the piece and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to give it some Pop.

Finishes

To tie in more of the Crumb Cake, soft brown shade, I used the new Basic Beige Ribbon beneath the focal layer. By adding a couple of short strips of adhesives, I was able to zig zag the ribbon easily for a bit of a different look. Of course there must be bling as well. So lastly out came the Pecan Pie & Clear Ribbon Dots. Just a scattering of them around the focal layer was plenty.

Measurements

This card looks more intricate than it actually is. There are just a couple of layers to place. And I did not mention earlier that it is only a quarter sheet of card stock for the card base. So very easy to make multiples of.

The card base is Crumb Cake that is 4 1/4 X 5 1/2
The White layer is 4 X 5 1/4
The DSP is 6 X 5, score at 2 1/4 on the 6″ length with the pattern for the flap being up.
The small Crumb Cake card is 4 X 5 1/2 scored and folded at 2 3/4
There are 2 of the White layers on the small card, inside and front layer, each is 2 1/2 X 3 3/4
The small card DSP is 2 1/4 X 3 1/2
The focal layer was a scrap that was roughly 2 1/4 X 3
