You can dress cards up for the holidays, create an artful “thank you” and much more! I had no hesitation in adding the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Home stamp set and Homemade Holiday Framelits Dies to my Holiday Catalog Top 10 Favorites List. Buy them together as a bundle and save 15% HERE.
This week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO374) was the foundation for today’s joy fold card.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- A joy fold card is simply two intersecting cards.
- My card base measures 8 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ and is scored at 2 3/4″. I added a yummy black and white pattern from Stampin’ Up! Back to Black Designer Series Paper on the front panel.
- The smaller intersecting card measures 8 1/2″ x 3″ and is scored at 4 1/4″.
- The Stampin’ Up! Handheld Stapler and Silver Mini Staples keep my Melon Mambo heart in place with a fun touch.
- Using my Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Magnetic Platform and Envelope Liner Framelits Dies, I cropped Back to Black Designer Series Paper to a perfect fit in a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Medium Envelope.
- A trio of Melon Mambo Candy Dots (Brights Candy Dots) add a pop of color and complement the heart.

If I had to choose one color, it would probably be black as it goes with EVERYTHING. Feminine, masculine, kids’ cards.
Thanks for sharing your generosity!
Beautiful card!! I would choose black as everything looks better with black.
Fabulous Mary…love the fun fold and the starkness of the black and white and the gorgeous pops of red!!!
This card came to your blog just for me. I need to make a hostess card bundle this is perfect. I use a lot of black ribbon as every projects seems to have a touch of black
This is the bomb:)
I think I would choose Crumb Cake. It is such a nice neutral color. I can’t imagine making cards without the basic SU colors of ribbon. Glad we have so many nice ones to choose from. Thanks for offering this great blog candy.
Drop dead gorgeous Mary! My jaw just dropped. LOL. I just LOVE how you put this together! I really like that DSP and I have bought a few packs of it just so I don’t run out of it.

Black because it goes with just about every other color.
