I'm so glad you could stop by the Crafty Kitten for Joy's Life's Fun Card Folds Birthday Blog Hop!
This will be my last Blog Hop post for awhile as a member of Joy's team so it's a little bittersweet. Everything's going ok...I'm just taking a little time off to craft for the holidays and do some traveling. :)
If you came here from Lori's blog, then you're in the right place. If you stumbled on this post, and want experience all the fun from the beginning, you can start here.
For this hop, I decided to do what I call a Modified Gate Fold Card. Here's a pic of it closed.
Here's what it looks like when you swing the gates open.
The stamp I used is from Joy's Yummy Puns set. You can grab your own set here.
Tape a scalloped Nestability to the paper and run that side through your CuttleBug. Tape it to the other side of the gate and run it again. (You can't tell from my pics but I managed to emboss each side with a polka dot folder.)
For the frame on the front, use two of the scallops at the same time. After adhering it to the front of the card, carefully cut the frame in half. Embellish the inside to your taste. (I cut the inside scallop slightly larger than the window.)
*** Now how about a chance for some GREAT Blog Candy as a reward for staying with me through this long post?? ***
I'm going to give away your choice of ANY Joy's Life stamp set!

Patty,
I'M GOING TO MISS YOU!!!! Now...about the card... ;) I LOVE this card. It's so pretty and cute. Why do I make such lame gatefolds? LOL! You know what this one makes me think of? When you open it it sort of looks like someone took bites out of it! Like they're eating the cupcake! I love the way you made this. Thank you for being in the Fun Card Folds Birthday Blog Hop...and for being an awesome Design Team leader!
Hugs,
~Joy~
