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.

Peaceful Poppies; easy cards!

January 6, 2020

The new Peaceful Poppies designer series paper is gorgeous with bright, pretty colors and lots of poppies! There's one sheet in particular that makes it super easy to make quick, floral cards. Click here to see it in my store.

Save

It's the sheet of paper on the far left above.

Save

I cut the paper at 5 1/2" across and above the flowers. Then into 3" strips. Now I have 8 panels of flowers ready for cards!

I made two cards here adding a 1" X 5 1/2" strip of Poppy Parade on the left and a white punched border using the Decorative Ribbon Border punch. The cards are Old Olive cut at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"

Save

The greetings are from the new Sale-a-Bration set 'Sending you Thoughts' on page 11 of that catalog. You can see it here. The punch they're stamped on is the Timeless Label punch seen here.

You might wonder where I found that pretty crinkled Poppy Parade ribbon. It's the new 1/4" White crinkled ribbon that I colored Poppy with my Dark Poppy Parade blends. I LOVE being able to color my ribbon the exact color I need for my projects!

Snowman Peek-a-Boo card with video

January 3, 2020

This interactive card is fun& adorable and my gals loved it at our December club events.

They were anxious that it would be difficult. There is a little trick to it but once you 'get it' you'll find it's pretty easy.

Save

I cased this card from my very creative friend, Julie Davison. Her style is simple yet fun. Her layouts are the best!

My color scheme came from the Let it Snow specialty designer paper from the Holiday catalog. Unfortunately that paper is out of stock. It was VERY popular! It's Coastal Cabana, Real Red, White and Black.

Save

The Snowman Season set is still available as a bundle through today; January 2nd. Get it at 10% off now. It will return this year but not as a bundle at the discount. See the stamp set here and the punch here.

My colors are Blushing Bride, White and Granny Apple Green. I used the new Coastal Weave embossing folder from the Mini catalog, the Stitched Nested Label dies too.

I curled the little petals up with my bone folder and added the Gingham Gala adhesive-backed sequins to the center.
