6x6 Joy-Fold Card by Claudia Rosa

Hello to all of the Whiff Of Joy fans! Thank you so much for visiting our Inspiration blog. Today i would love to show you a fun card, which not only makes a special gift to a loved one.. no you also have endless possibilities to play with several of your stamps without "overloading" your card design.

The card we are making is called "Joy-fold" card and a smaller design can be found over at Splitcoaststampers. Since i like to play with patterned paper i wanted to make the card larger to 6x6 inches which gives me more room for my papers to show and embellishments
.

Lets get started you will need the following basic supplies:

On my card i have used

Stamping Kit Birdie Love
- scoring board (i prefer Scorpal)
- Paper cutter
- several different coordinating Designer papers
- glue
- Embellishments of your choice (Important hint: you may want to keep all embellishments you want to use on the left side very flat and more towards the inside of your 4.75 x 4.75 scquare, otherwise your flap does not open nicely)

- i used also Nestabilities for my focal point image (circle and blossom shape)

cut one sheet of card stock to 6 x9 inches or 23 cm x 15.5 cm and score at the 6 " mark

second cut a contrasting piece of card stock to 9.5 by 4.75 inches or 12 cm by 24 cm and fold in half (here you can see i have already cut the mat and Designer paper to cover the front of this card piece)


This is a shot, to show you how you will have to assemble your card pieces together, after you have glued all your design papers to your card bases. I hope this helps.

Here are all my papers (Design paper is always matted with a contrasting piece of card stock) layed out to be assembled to my card base.

you are going to have at the end:

1 x 14.5 cm x 14.5 cm piece (yellow with chicks bottom of picture)
2 (covers front and inside) x 11.5cm x 11.5 cm (floral pattern on pic to the left)
2 x (covers front and inside) 14.5 x 7 cm (shown on pic to the right - chick and floral paper)

Thank you again for you time. I hope i could inspire you to recreate this fun card.

See you soon :-)

hugs
