Time for a card with a difference!!!

I think I have a bit of a 'style' when it comes to making cards but now and again I like to try different things. I have seen Joy Fold cards on a couple of people's blogs and fell in love with the design so went off to look for a tutorial and had a go at making a couple today. I really like the design, it's unusual and miles away from my usual 6x6 square card ;-) I apologise in advance for the zillions of pics but it was hard to photograph to show how the card opens.

I would like to enter this first one into the following challenges:
This is the second Joy Fold card I made and I'd like to enter this one into the following challenges:

Supplies: Cardstock - Bazzill Basics; Papers - Basic Grey Nook & Pantry; Flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts; Sentiment ovals - Craftwork Cards; Buttons, ribbon, pearls, brads - from stash x
