Today's Two Cool cards feature a fantastic style of card that is always fun—the Joy Fold card!
Combine this fancy fold with the Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper and Bright Blossoms stamps currently available with the Summer Smooches Sneak Peek, and you have a delightful greeting for any spring celebration!
See what I mean! It IS joyful!!
Open the center flap, and you find the decorative paper panel. You could also add a sentiment or another image here that would be hidden under the front flap.
Here it is fully open. The mail card base, shown here in Island Indigo, is a 11" x 4-1/4" piece of card stock that folds to standard 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" standard size. The Lucky Limeade piece is 8" x 3-1/4" scored at 4" and adhered to the center of the card base.
You can vary which side you open the front fold, like I did in my second card…
I love this easy-to make fancy fold! Fun, fun, fun!
Card Details: The Summer Smooches DSP, with it's colorful round flowers and Real Red polka dot patterns, really creates the mood for these cards.
I used Markers to color directly on the Bright Blossom stamps to add two different circle-flower vase images. Then I used one of the Designer Frames Textured Impressions Folders to add a pretty frame around the images. The frames are cut out free-hand, then popped up with Dimensionals.
Next, I added some of the matiching Daffodil Delight Seam Binding, either by tying in a double-knot (card #1), or thread-pull scrunching (card #2).
For the sentiments, my favorite is the little Jewely Tags with coordinating images from Tiny Tags that I added to card #1 with some White Baker's Twine. But the other card also uses one of the same stamps and punch, this time double–punched to form a soft-cornered, mini-rectangle. Also cute!
