Inked Botanicals Diagonal Z-fold card; with a free printable project sheet!

Each month at my local Card Clubs we make at least one fun fold card.  Here's the  pretty card we made in August: 

August Club Inked & Tiled Save

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.  

August Club cards Inked & Tiled Save

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.

  • Beautiful Gold foil cards made with the Season of Elegance DSP

    Today I’m sharing two more beautiful swap cards by my Team. Out November theme was to feature either foil designer paper or metallic heat embossing.

    First up is Tracey’s stunning easel card:

    Save

    She featured the ‘A Child is Born’ stamp set and heat embossed it on a Gold foil die-cut from the Spotlight on Nature dies. There are tons of details on her gorgeous card; I’ll highlight a few:

    Save

    I think my favorite thing about her card is what she heat embossed the greeting with. Gold embossing powder wouldn’t show up very well so she mixed Copper and Black embossing powders and used that. Genius!

    Save

    Measurements:
    – Mossy Meadow card base 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″. Cut from the center score line down one side at 1″ and again at the other side at 1″. Now score that center piece at 2 1/8″
    – DSP strips are 1″ X 4 1/4″
    – Gold circle die-cut is approximately 3 7/8″
    – inside vanilla is 3 1/4″ X 4″
    – Greeting die-cuts are 2 1/2″ long X 7/8″ tall

    A stunning Christmas card Tracey!

    Next is a pretty card made by Lori who used a few of the same products on her card.

    Save

    She added lots of texture to her card with four different embossing folders. Those include the Sunflower 3D, Birchwood, Gathering Leaves & Soft Waves folders. These are in 1 1/4″ squares.

    Save

    Her colors include Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Gold foil and Very Vanilla. The greeting is from the Prairie Grass stamp set.

    It’s quite a striking card Lori. Thank you!

    ~~~

    The kits below will ship out this week so you have plenty of time to finish them by December. And they’re quick & easy too!

    The Christmas Tags & More cards are easy because there isn’t any stamping. The greetings are from the gold foil ephemera pack included in the kit.

    Save

    This kit to go includes a share of the festive designer paper, the ribbon, the peppermint gems, the ephemera greetings, the PDF tutorial and video too. Plus the pre-cut 10 cards that are all fun folds. All for $30 plus shipping. It’s a fabulous deal!

    Don’t wait long; I have just a few left. Go here to get yours. *You will need to cut your new designer paper for the cards but my directions make that simple.

    ~~~

    The other kit I created this month is also easy but does require stamped greetings. But there is very little prep & just a little trimming of the card bases to create these beautiful wintery cards:

    Save

    These cards could be winter or holiday; it’s your choice when you stamp the greetings.

    This kit originated from a former Paper Pumpkin kit but I jazzed up the cards and added more to create 12 gorgeous cards. This kit includes 12 envelopes and a share of Peppermint gems plus the PDF tutorial.
    I have a few left so grab yours soon. This kit is $29 and you can see it here.

  • Beautiful Embossed card swaps with foil accents

    Our Team swap theme was to use foil or heat embossing on our cards. This was a fun theme that is especially easy around the holidays.

    Today I’m sharing Jonna’s stunning card in Black, Silver & White:

    Save

    It’s a ‘Wow’ card for sure! She textured the Basic Gray card layer with the Sunflower 3D embossing folder seen here first and then rubbed it with Versamark ink. Then she heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder. Just gorgeous!

    Her measurements are as follows:
    – Embossed layer 3 1/2″ square
    – Black layer 3 3/4″ square, Black greeting layer 3 3/4″ X 1 1/4″
    – White is 4″ X 5 1/4″, White greeting layer is 3 1/2″ X 1″

    The greeting is from the Branching Out stamp set.

  • A great way to add multiple pieces with the Press & Seal technique

    I shared this pretty card on last week’s video featuring new products and a neat and easy technique. If you’ve ever struggled to add multiple pieces perfectly, as you’ve laid them out, this will help you so much!

    Save

    My colors include Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon and White. The large die-cut is from the Perennial Postage dies and the greeting & leaves dies are from the Creative Haven dies seen here.

    Save
    Save

    Tips on using Press & Seal to adhere die-cuts perfectly in place:
    I placed the center greeting piece in the center of the Postage die-cut. Then I tucked each die-cut leaf under and around it placing them just where I wanted them. Next I lifted the greeting piece off and pressed a piece of my Press & Seal kitchen wrap onto the die-cut leaves. Once they were all stuck on the wrap I turned them over and added adhesive to the back. I then turned it over and adhered it to my White layer. Let it dry or set a bit and then carefully peel off the Press & Seal wrap.

    I love this technique!!

    I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, directions and a product list. You can see or download it here.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more pretty Easel card too.
