I love using special folds for cards.

For this blog, I decided to create a Double Z-Fold Card.

I searched Pinterest for "Double Z-fold cards" and BAM!

There were dozens of ideas! Here's my take with our SOTM. 

Card Standing

Card closed

Card open flat

 

Paper: Lovely Paper Pack with stickers- X8015S

Card Stock: Sage and Vanilla Cream

Ink:  Intense Black, Toffee, Scarlet, Sage

Stickles: Waterfall (on the butterflies)

Glitter Paper: Blue Belle 

Die Cuts: Waterfall (square & scalloped square) 

 

Cutting Instructions:

The base is sage cut at 4 1/4" X 11" (dark side up).

Scored at 2 3/4", 5 1/2" - first fold - mountain, second - valley.

Smaller strip, 2 1/2" X 11, scored the same as the base. Flip the smaller piece of card stock over light side up so that the long section is on top and the folded sections are underneath and at the right hand side. Add additional patterned papers, cut 1/4 smaller leaving a margin. I used the Toffee patterned paper to create the "sleeve" and stamped it with the small diamond pattern and poinsettia.
