In this blog post, I’m sharing a Joy Fold card and a coordinating “sour cream” treat pouch featuring the Trimming the Tree stamp set (and retired coordinating dies)!

The Joy Fold is one of my favorite fun folds! It’s quick, easy, and really packs a wow! One of the most popular card projects I’ve shared previously is a Joy Fold and it’s one of my go-to fun folds. I’ve tweaked the measurements slightly for this version so the layers fit better together!
I’ve attached a gift card to the inside using a removable Glue Dot:
I also created a “sour cream” treat pouch, using many of the same products to coordinate with the Joy Fold card!
This treat pouch goes together so quickly and only requires a 4″ x 4″ piece of Designer Series Paper! I received a treat pouch this size as a swap at a demonstrator event and instantly fell in love with the size! And you can’t beat it, because you can create 9 of them out of a sheet of 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper! A Hershey’s Nugget or Mini Ghirardelli Square is a perfect fit!
Here’s the video replay including both projects:
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful & blessed day!

I love the tree fun fold card. I’m going to make a couple to put in my stash for next year. The sour cream pouch is one of my favs to make. My grandkids love them.
Merry Christmas and happy New year.

I love both of these projects Julie. The sour cream containers are awesome to make. Be well, be safe, have a great Holiday Season & TYFS
Merry Christmas to you and your family! I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed New Year as well. For my Christmas cards this year, I made the one you did a couple of weeks ago with the rounded corners at the bottom and the one where you used smaller pieces and put a white piece in the middle to stamp on the outside. Everyone loved them. I love the simplicity yet elegance of your cards. Thank you for all that you do, even for those of us that are hobby demos not on your team but share your videos and I get so much inspiration from you!
Loved it Julie.
