craftykarendesigns: One Z Fold Card 3 Ways - Pansy Petals, Beauty of the Earth and Tidings of Christmas

Hi Everyone,

Today I had a crafting session with one of my team and she wanted a quick layout to use up designer series papers. I came up with this quick and easy Z Fold card using the Pansy Petals dsp and some bits and pieces I had lying on my desk. When I'd finished I thought I would change it up a bit and show off some more dsp and show you how simple it is to adapt one layout in multiple different ways. So, I now have 3 cards, 1 for a birthday, 1 to say hello to a friend and 1 Christmas card. It's really easy, let me show you how, click on the link below to watch the video tutorial on my YouTube channel.

Instructions

On the long side score the card stock at 4 1/8" and then 2", fold and burnish into a z fold.

Add the dsp layers.

Die cut any decorations and the stitched rectangle.

Stamp a sentiment on the stitched rectangle and also on the white layer for the inside, then adhere the inside piece.

Build up the decoration for the rectangle layer with die cuts and stamped images as required and add some bling. Add the rectangle to the front of the card by attaching only the left side with dimensionals.

A quick and simple fun fold card with three different looks, I hope that you will give it a try.
