Each month at my local Card Clubs we make at least one fun fold card. Here's the pretty card we made in August:
It's called a Diagonal Z-fold card. You might think it looks a bit intimidating but it's really not. I shared how to make it in a recent video seen here. Plus I have a free project sheet for you as well! Download Diagonal Z-fold card
I textured the Lost Lagoon layer with either the 3D Basics folders or the Painted Texture 3D folder.
My colors include Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and White with a bit of Vellum added with the die-cut leaf (Gorgeously Made dies). The other sprig and leaf are from the Bough punch (temporarily out of stock).
Below is the template I made. You start out with an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock. Make a mark at 3" down from the upper right and 3" up from the lower left. Cut in half on the diagonal.
Then place the flat side of the card stock on your paper trimmer or scoring board and score at 4 1/4" and 8". That's it!
To create the diagonal layers for each area you start with full rectangles like a normal card and cut off the upper portion at an angle. Measurements are given in the project sheet above.
I've used the Inked & Tiled stamp set a lot; I love the images and the greetings fit in the Double Oval punch perfectly!
The designer paper is the Inked Botanicals seen here.
