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.

Save

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.

I did have trouble getting a good photo of the actual colors on this one. I added Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon and Champagne rhinestones to this one. I cannot resist adding these when I can. They're beautiful!

Pleased as Punch fun fold card

February 5, 2020
I made this card for a recent online swap I participated in. I believe this type of fold is called a 'Joy Fold' card.

Save

The Pool Party piece is folded in half; the bottom part is under the front flap of the White layer. See measurements below.

Save

I chose to use the brand new Pleased as Punch designer paper seen here. It coordinates with FOUR of our current punches – amazing! The two hearts on this card are punched directly from the designer paper.

Save

I love it so much I am featuring it for my February card kit to go. I'll share that with you tomorrow.

Details:
- The hearts are punched from the DSP with the Heart Punch Pack
- The ribbon is the White seam binding on page 25 of the January – June Mini catalog
- the sequins are from the free SAB Metallic Baker's Twine & Sequins combo pack seen here
- the embossing folder is the Coastal Weave 3D embossing folder seen here
Measurements:
- White – 4 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 5 1/2"
- Pool Party 3" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
- So Saffron 2 1/4" X 3 1/2"
