Berry Delightful Z Fold Card

 Hi Everyone,


Today I have made a Z Fold Card using the lovely FREE Berry Delightful designer series papers and the Many Mates stamp set.  A Z Fold is one of the easiest fun fold cards to make and is great for showing off a couple of different papers.  There is a video tutorial over on my YouTube channel, just click on the link below:


Video Tutorial


Materials

1 piece of poppy parade card stock 6" x 10"
1 piece of dsp 4 7/8" x 5 7/8"
1 piece of contrasting dsp 2 3/8" x 5 7/8"
Scraps of poppy parade and basic white card stock for the die cut labels and the flowers
1 piece of basic white 2 7/8" x 5  7/8" for the inside
Scrap of contrasting dsp to fussy cut the strawberries
Small blooms punch
Matte black dots
Poppy parade Stampin Blend
Stitched So Sweetly dies
Stampin Cut and Emboss machine
Paper snips
Trimmer
Simply scored
Bone Folder
Multipurpose adhesive
Dimensionals
2" circle punch, Classic label punch (these were to cover up some mistamping on the inside, see video)

Instructions

On the long side, score the poppy parade card stock at 2 1/2" and 5" and fold and burnish to make a Z fold card.

Add the dsp layers to the card, the largest one to the inside of the card and the smaller one to the front piece.

Stamp a sentiment on the 2 3/8" x 5 7/8" piece of basic white before adhering to the inside of the card. On the video, I put it in and them made a mess of the stamping so had to cover it up with a 2" circle of dsp and I restamped the sentiment on some white and then cut it out with the classic label punch.

Die cut two stitched rectangles, one in poppy parade and a smaller one in white.

Stamp a sentiment on the white one - my poppy parade ink needs reinking so I have coloured in the letters with a Stampin Blend.  layer the two together and add to the card front with dimensionals.

Fussy cut two strawberries and glue them to  the inside right hand edge of the card so that they can be seen when the card is closed.

Punch out two flowers with the small bloom punch and add them to the sentiment label with dimensionals and add a matte black dot to the centre of each.

I hope that you like my card and will give it a try.
