FUN FOLD FRIDAY

Today's card shows one of the ways you can make a Z Fold Card.

To begin cut a piece of base cardstock (here it is Night of Navy) at 4 1/4 x 11.

Score at 2 3/4 (mountain fold) and 5 1/2 (valley fold)

Cut three coordinating pieces of DSP (here I used Paper Blooms DSP). One is 2 1/4 x 4, one is 5 1/4 x 4, and the smallest one for the fold out is 2 1/2 x 2 3/4.

Cut your base fold out at 9 1/2 x 3 (here I used Rococo Rose) and score at 3 1/4 and 6.

Cut two pieces of Basic White, one at 3 x 2 3/4 and the other at 3 1/4 x 2 3/4.

Stamp your images onto your white pieces. I used the flower (in Rococo Rose) and the swirl (in Seaside Spray), both from the Elegantly Said Stamp Set. The messge is in Night of Navy also from the same set.

Attach all your DSP and white pieces to your cardstock.

Lay your inside Z fold smaller base into your large base card. Then fold together to see that it is lying flatly. Adhere your two end pieces to your base card, one at a time to make sure it can close properly.  It should now open and fold easily. 

Z fold cards are so fun and there are different ways to make them.  Pinterest has lots of ideas. I hope you have fun making some.  

Thanks for stopping by.
