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

August 29, 2023

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.

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.

Save

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.

Easy card design; get two cards with one cut with the So Very Vellum Specialty paper

March 10, 2020
The 2nd set of Sale-a-Bration products are here! There are 5 new items you can choose from that you get FREE with a $50 – $100 order from now through March 31st. Honestly I am guessing the Vellum and Flowering Foils papers might sell out before March is over.

Save

I made these quick cards with the pretty textured So Very Vellum and the Eyelet Lace embossing folder in the annual catalog.

Save

To get two pieces from each quarter sized sheet of vellum see the measurements and tips are below.

The colors are Pool Party, Soft Sea Foam and Purple Posy which are the colors this specialty vellum comes in. It has a dotted grid of texture on each sheet! This specialty vellum is one of the new FREE choices with any $50 order in March. See it here.

Tips:
1. Cut one piece of vellum measuring 4" X 5 1/4". Make a mark at 1 1/2" from the upper left and 1 1/2" from the lower right and cut each piece in half at a diagonal. You'll have 2 perfect diagonal pieces for your cards.
2. Adhere the vellum to the White 4" X 5 1/4" card base using liquid glue; I prefer Multipurpose adhesive. I added a thin line under the dots on the vellum and it doesn't show at all!
3. The die-cuts are from the Stitched So Sweetly dies; I did add a scalloped 1 1/8" circle punch between the two layers and sponged the White pieces.
4. The greetings are from the So Sentimental stamp set; it's a bundle with the dies at a 10% savings. See it here.
