I have had this card on my desk ready to post for awhile now. I have been trying a few ideas with the Joy Fold. The Joy Fold is similar to the Gate Fold. Both fun folds have flaps on the outside.
To make a Joy Fold Card, start with a piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock and cut it into an 8-1/2" x 4-1/4" piece. Score at 3". This is your card base.
Cut a 8-1/2" x 3" piece of Lost Lagoon. Score at 4". This is the inside flap.
Let's make the inside base mats. Cut a 4" x 2-3/4" piece of DSP. This is the left inside base mat.
Cut a 4" x 5-1/2" piece of DSP. This is the right inside base mat.
Let's make the inside flap mats. Cut a 3-3/4" x 2-3/4" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. This is the left inside flap mat. Stamp the You Mean the World to Me sentiment in the center in Archival Basic Black ink. Then stamp the globe image on top of the sentiment in Sahara Sand ink.
Cut a 4-1/4" x 2-3/4" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. This is the right inside flap mat. Stamp the compass image in Sahara Sand toward the lower right hand corner. I left this mat mostly blank to leave room for a special message.
Now, let's cut the outside flap mat. Cut a 4-1/4" x 2-3/4" piece of DSP. Adhere all of the mats. Adhere the flap in the center and slightly to the right of the base as shown in the photograph above. You want the flap to be centered on the front when the card is closed.
For the Happy Father's Day sentiment, I cut a 1/2" x 8-1/2" strip of Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped Happy in Archival Basic Black ink and trimmed it. I stamped Father's Day n Archival Basic Black ink and trimmed it. I eyeballed how much space to leave before and after the words.
Stamp the globe image in Mossy Meadow onto scrap Very Vanilla cardstock and cut out using Paper Snips. Adhere the sentiment and the globe using dimensionals to the outside flap mat.

The DSP Going Places featured on this card is still order-able, but it is on back order until May 30th. I decided to share this card because it is one of my favorite stamp sets and DSPs. I know you will love it as much as I do!
If you don't want to wait or while you wait, I recommend using any of the following stamps to create your own DSP. Stamp randomly all over a piece of 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock then cut each background piece.
- The Open Sea - Clear-Mount Item #132032 / Wood-Mount Item #128454
- Traveler - Clear-Mount Item #134513 / Wood-Mount Item #134510
- World Map - Clear-Mount Item #130345 / Wood-Mount Item #130342
World Traveler Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF) (Item #138289) would also be fantastic!
I used Going Places DSP as the inspiration for this card's color scheme. I used Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, and Sahara Sand.
I would love to see what you create using the Going Global stamp set!
Thanks for stopping by!
