CARD# PR-2015-13: Joy Fold Happy Birthday

Hello! I haven't accepted any commissions since I started working again (My IG account is still on hiatus.), but a friend had asked me to make something for her mother's birthday. Of course, I would not say no. There were no specifics on the card except for one. It would need to include a photo. I love vintage so a vintage joy fold card is what I set out to make.

You know that I prefer doing special fold cards when there are photos involved. As I was looking through different card folds, I stumbled upon Elizabeth Elton's joy fold card. She has a tutorial on her blog Cardville. It was easy to follow and it really looked gorgeous so I decided to make something similar for Ate Nadia. The only edge punch I had then was Martha Stewart's Arch Lattice. Now that I have three other punchers, I could make prettier cards than the one I made here. 

Anyway, I just followed along the tutorial and came up with this. I used the papers from the Graphic 45 8"x8" paper pad Time To Celebrate Collection.

It was an easy and fast card to make. I didn't think while making it. I just measured, cut and adhered! (and inked of course) I will sure make another one for some of my friends' birthday. Thanks for stopping by! Talk to you again in a bit.
