A diagonal joy fold card with Curved Occasions. This bundle includes a stamps set and punch. Way back in May 2023 I made this type of fold for a sympathy card in a Sunday blog post which you can see HERE. I did not supply any details on how I constructed the card, but promised I would make another and supply instructions then. Now it’s several months later, they say better late, than never.
The first picture below shows the card closed ready for mailing. In the second picture, it shows the diagonal fold open and the smaller joy fold card closed. Finally, the third picture shows both the card open and also the smaller joy fold card too.
Cutting guide
My colour palette is Lemon Lolly and Lemon Lime Twist. They compliment each other so well. I’ve split them up under two headings to make it easier to follow

Stampin’ Up! has a new Reward System beginning early April 2025. Customers now must have an online account and need to opt in to earn 10% of their qualifying commissionable product purchases to redeem as Stampin’ Rewards on future orders. A qualifying purchase must meet the minimum threshold requirement on commissionable products. Be aware that Stampin’ Rewards have an expiration date. They need not be redeemed all at once. Stampin’ Up!’s system tracks them and the rewards expiring first will be used first when redeemed. You can check the Rewards Dashboard to help you keep track of Rewards Expiration Date Information. Please note the new Stampin’ Reward System cannot use Rewards toward the purchase of a Starter Kit as the Starter Kit has non-commissionable items in it. The Host Code will become obsolete.
