Joy fold card – A Little Cheer

Joy fold card – A Little Cheer. A Little Cheer bundle comprises a stamp set with festive images including a teeny star, tree and stocking and A Little Cheer Mini punch pack. Combine the two and they make festive cards and tags for the festive season. It is an online exclusive released in July but the punches didn’t arrive till the middle of July!

I haven’t made a joy fold card in ages. The joy fold is a card within a card. You fold the front of the card base back and insert another smaller card to the card base which opens in the opposite direction.
