Hi Everyone
Well it has been a brilliant day for getting lots of washing dry outdoors today .. .. my poor washing machine has been on overdrive.
I have spent a good part of today (when not going backwards and forwards to the washing line) on a new magazine commission for Quick Cards Made Easy so haven't had chance to make anything fresh to share with you .. .. but I can show you one of the cards I made for the current magazine issue which has just gone on sale (complete with some gorgeous Pink Petticoat image stamps and papers as the a free gift!!).
I was asked if I would like to do the "Card School" commission and provide cards and instructions for making "Joy Fold" cards.
I hadn't actually made any cards in this style before .. .. but believe me a good few have left the House of Hearts since.
Here you can see one of my cards from the commission
More of this style of card will definitely be making an appearance. They are so easy to make and are great for using up some of those smaller pieces of paper.
Still chasing my tail after a weekend away from home so best go and get some more catching up done.
Have a lovely evening everyone and I'll catch you again tomorrow.
Love

Hiya Jules, you sound busy - same here! This is fab, must buy the mag. Thought at first there was no heart on your mag' cards - but there they are - how could I have missed them!

Another super card, Jules, and I think I will have to find a copy of the magazine to learn just how to make Joy Folds - especially as you say they are easy to make :) Nice to ready you've had a weekend away - even if it was something of a bit of busman's holiday! Elizabeth xx
This is fabulous Jules, I saw your cards in the magazine, I think I will be having a go at making some of these myself.
It's lovely to get the washing dried outside isn't it!

Morning sweetie, this is Simply Stunning :0) hugs Pops x x x
Super card Jules - I love that sentiment. But why - I'm wondering - is it called a joy fold? Or is it Joy fold after the person who first did it?
Beryl xx
