JOY FOLD CARDS
Similar to a gate fold in that there is a flap on the left side of the card, but the right flap is actually a smaller card adhered so that it becomes the flap for the right side- it's like 2 "u" shapes that face each other.
Directions and Measurements here

EASEL CARDS
A card which folds flat for posting but which stands up for display.
Front Panel 10.5 x 14.5
Adhere finished front panel to the 3cm flap only and place anchor/ leaning button on the inside of the card base
There are plenty of samples on my blog if you search under the heading "Easel Fold"
or search Pinterest using Easel Card Lillybet's Papers
Can also be made with a diagonal score line as a Twisted Easel Card

DOUBLE FRONT CARD
The cardstock card base has a half front, with a stamped panel attached, the slightly smaller inner card has a second stamped panel the same size which is revealed when you open the first card front. Images and directions here. Quick to put together and great for using strips of DSP and using multiple images from one stamp set.
