How do you make a Z-Fold Card? Start with some soft color inks, beautiful designer paper, and some cardstock. Follow along with the video!

So great to be back for another Fancy Folds Design Team hop. Happy March and it's the last month of Sale-a-Bration so the last opportunity to get a bargain or two! Satomi's card this month is so beautiful. I hope you enjoyed her ideas. I am always inspired by Satomi's style. This is my card: I followed Dawn Griffith's easy YouTube tutorial but changed the measurements out so that the base or back card is square and the top layer was adjusted to be 41/2" x 11" with co-ordinating score lines at half and a quarter. The base card is Basic Black card mounted with squares of the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper. I love the black and white papers and think that they complement any occasion. You will see that the feature panel on the front or the small "z" is Basic Black also but has been mounted with Whisper White panels. I stamped the roses image from the Petal Palette stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and coloured the roses in Dark Cherry Cobbler, Light Cherry Cobbler, Dark Pink Pirouette and Light Pink Pirouette Stampin' Blends. The leaves were coloured in Dark and Light Old Olive Stampin' Blends. I fussy cut the images. I stamped the images 3-4 times. I cut leaves off and separated the flowers to make them look a little more individual. Depth and layers on card fronts are one of my favourite things so I cut a Cherry Cobbler circle using the Stitched Edge Framelit Circle and then mounted it with a slightly smaller circle in Whisper White. I dimensionalised this aspect and stuck the roses on with glue dots and kind of draped them over the edges. I added the remaining roses to the next two panels. To add texture and interest I also cut a few Silver Glimmer Paper and Basic Black leaves and buds from the Sweet Cake Framelit Dies. I also used some of the silver embossed vellum features from the Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit. The sentiments are from the Petal Passion stamp set simply stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the card direct and on a piece of Vellum Card and punched out using a label punch. I wanted the suggestion of shadow and texture. I hope you have enjoyed the project and that you continue on the hop! Check out Tanja's amazing project ~ I love this woman's style! Until next month!

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~ I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend. Did you spend a lot of time online chatting with family and friends or are you lucky to have your family members with you.…

Second card I'm posting this week and this one is for the Make it Monday #295 challenge. It's a z-fold card and all the info can be found HERE I used the Up and Away and Hello stamp sets by PTI and an old set from SU Through the trees. I gold embossed the balloons, sentiment and trees. The Zfold gave the balloons an appearance of lifting. I like it!

Check out this lovely 3D double Z card by Dawn’s Stampin’ Thoughts: Dawn's directions, video tutorial and measurements can be found HERE. I created several versions and these were my two favs: I simplified the layers for quick assembly. Here are my modifications for my second card shown above: Background Z Fold Layer with Vertical Stripes: Along the 8 1/2" side of 8 1/2' x 11" piece of DSP medium weight: * Cut at 4 1/4″ to create 2 pieces that are 4 1/4″ x 11″ * Left piece, score at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2" along the 11" side * Right piece: Save for a 2nd card White Z Fold Layer Attached to Background Layer: * Cut white cardstock at 3 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4" x 2 1/8“ along the 8 1/2″ side Floral Designer Paper: * Cut at 4″ x 3 1/4″ * Cut 2 at 1 7/8″ x 3 1/2″ Sentiment Panels: * Cut white cardstock at 3 3/8″x 2 5/8″ and 1 7/8“ x 1 3/4“ After I finished making this double Z version, I saw a square version on Pinterest by Jeanie Stark: I like this version because when it's opened, the two layers are perfectly parallel and that appeals to my sense of balance! The first version at the top of this post does not have parallel insides like this card: For measurements and instructions, click HERE. These instructions make a 4 1/4" square double Z card. I made this square version plus I modified the design to make another one that was the traditional 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" version. Here are the results: SQUARE VERSION TRADITIONAL A2 SIZE VERSION Left side sentiment: SU Thoughts and Prayers The right side sentiment was done on my computer and modified from a sentiment I saw on Pinterest: You’re happy = I’m happy, You’re sad = I’m sad, You’re sick = I feel sick. Now, can you just get better real quick so I can get on with my life?! SIZE COMPARISON OF BOTH VERSIONS MY DOUBLE Z CARDS: A Large Version 6” wide by 5” finished card size Base = 5” x 12”, scored along 12” at 3” and 6” Inside Z = 3.5” x 9”, scored along 9” at 4” and 6.5” Third piece under Z piece on right side of base = 3 3/8” wide x 4 1/4” Glue the third piece behind the far right panel of the inside Z piece then watch the video https://tinyurl.com/doublezcard at the 8 minute mark to see one way to glue a Double Z card together. For a Small Version (that fits into A2 envelope): Base = 8 ½” x 5.5” scored along 8.5” at 2 1/8” and 4 1/4” Far right panel: 4” x 5 ¼” coordinating DSP Skip to “Inside Z” below if using double-sided paper Far left panel DSP: 1 7/8” w x 5 1/4” h (Width and height noted in case the paper’s pattern orientation makes a difference. The first cut will be the width with the paper pattern going in the correct direction.) *Cut 2 pieces if you wish to put paper on inside panel - see arrow above For right panel DSP: 4” w x 5 1/4” h Inside Z = 3 7/8" x 7”, scored along 7” at 2 1/2” x 4 3/4” White card stock for sentiment: 2 1/4“ x 3 5/8” For remaining panels of DSP: Cut two at 2” w x 3 5/8” h Note: Adding a piece of 4” x 5 ¼” coordinating DSP on the far right panel of the base adds a nice effect when the card is closed. Paste this piece first before adding the Z. These double Z cards are so much fun to make and the photos don't do them justice compared to when you see them in person. Give them a try!

Hi Stampers, Today I'm sharing my larger version of the Double Z Joy Fold card. This one is a 5-1/2" square card created using the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set & the Daisy Delight bundle. So cheerful! The paper is from the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper pack. The daisy is stamped in Daffodil Delight twice, punched out with the matching punch and layered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The center is also stamped in Daffodil Delight and covored with Clear Wink of Stella. The leaves are stamped in Old Olive & Memento Tuxedo Black and fussy-cut. The sentiment is from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set, using Old Olive. The smaller daisies on the inside panel are a layered stamp. The solid layer is stamped off once in Daffodil Delight and the outline is added on top using the same color, only full-strength. Stamping off once or even twice is a great way to get shades of the same color. The front panel of my card looks like designer paper, but it's not! Using an acrylic block large enough to completely cover the 3-1/4" piece of Whisper White card stock, I inked it up with my Daffodil Delight inkpad and spritzed it lightly with water. Then I stamped it on the cardstock the same as if I were using a stamp - this is the result! Of course, it needs to dry thoroughly before you stamp the sentiment on it. Here's the double "Z" view. The instructions for assembling this card are the same as for my July 15th post - look under labels on the left side of this page for "Double Z Joy Fold". Here are the materials you need to make this card: Whisper White cardstock 11" x 5-1/2" - score at 2-3/4" & 5-1/2" Whisper White cardstock 3-1/4" x 3-1/4" Whisper White cardstock 3-1/4" x 2-1/4" Daffodil Delight cardstock 9-1/4" x 3-3/4" - score at 2-3/4" & 5-1/2" Old Olive cardstock 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" Old Olive cardstock 3-1/2" x 2-1/2" Delightful Daisy DSP 5-1/4" x 2-1/2" Delightful Daisy DSP 5-1/4" x 5-1/4" Here's another card I made in the same size & style, using the Lift Me Up Bundle.

We had a fun time! It was a long drive home, but the company was great! I am glad we got to all catch up on things, as we don't see each other often. The air conditioner in my car broke- so we had a hot ride! Last night I didn't do much. I had been fighting off a migraine all day & it just got the best of me. I laid down & tried to sleep it off. Deke went to Nathan & Sarah's & helped them pack up things in the basement. We have a busy week ahead of us getting them all packed up & moved to their new home. They bought a home that is only 1/2 mile from our house- so they will be our neighbors! This morning Deke is off early to chore & head to the office for his weekly board meeting. I'm up to walk & get ready for Masen to spend the day with me. Grandma needs to be a busy bee finishing up his birthday cards, so that we can get them in the mail. I hope you have a MARVELOUS Monday!! Happy Stamping! Hugs- SUSIE
