Today’s featured card pattern is a simple fun fold that comes together very easily and utilizes some amazing patterned paper in the process. What makes the Joy Fold Card unique and fun is that there is a mini card layered with a regular size card which makes it more interactive. This fun fold can be made in all different sizes and variations, and I’m going to show you 2 different ways create this fold. Take a look at the video tutorial and download the pdf directions to have handy while you do some creating.
Basic Cutting Dimensions – Horizontal Version
- 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2” – card base, scored at 5 1/2” along long edge
- 3” x 8” – mini card base, scored at 4”
- 2 3/4” x 3 3/4” neutral cardstock, cut 2
- 4” x 5 1/4” – coordinating cardstock or patterned paper
- 4” x 2 3/4” – coordinating cardstock or patterned paper
Score the 3” x 8” mini card base along the long edge at 4”. Fold on score lines and crease well.
Attach 4” x 2 3/4” patterned paper to the front flap and the 4” x 5 1/4” patterned paper on the inside of the card. Attach 2 3/4” x 3 3/4” piece on the inside of the mini card base for the inside sentiment.
Basic Cutting Dimensions – Vertical Version
- 5 1/2″ x 7” – card base, scored at 4 1/4” along long edge

Once you have created the basic patterns you will be able to come up with lots of alternative ways create the Joy Fold Card template. This fold is also a great way to tuck a gift card inside either one of the flaps.
