Today I'm sharing a Joy Fold Card for the letter "J" in the 30 Days of Holidays at Beccy's Place. The sentiment image is from Beccy's Place and I followed the tutorial Beccy has available (click on the word tutorial to see it.) In addition to the Joy Fold, I have Jade green, Juniper green, and Joy in the sentiment.
This was one of the easiest cards I've done, yet it looks much more complex. I know I'm going to be using it again. The word Joy was colored by adding a layer of texture using Liquid Pearls as the 'paint.' It took quite a while to dry but once it was dry, I cut the sentiment with a Spellbinders rectangle die. The papers came from Authentic, K & Co., and DCWV.

I'll have a second post today, in about an hour, because I'm still trying to get caught up on the alphabet prompts over at Beccy's Place. Be sure to check back later on. Happy Crafting. NanaConnie

Great idea to use the liquid pearls as paint. They have such a nice shimmer to them. Lovely card!
I love joy folds too NanaConnie, and agree that they look much more complicated than they are. They're also great for using up little pieces of cardstock that get trimmed off from other sorts of folds. I like the way you've painted the letters with liquid pearls... what a great effect! Gorgeous mix of papers too.
Cheers,
Beccy
