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
