Fall Z-card Tutorial

One site that I just love for inspiration and challenges is Cardz TV.   They just had a challenge for s-fold cards.  I always called them z-fold but they are one and the same.  So I decided to play around and made one and thought to add it to my tutorial page too.  So here it goes...

Start with with 8.5x11 cards and cut in half, making two pieces measuring 4.25x5.5 as seen here

Fold in half and this is an A2 card (perfect for invite envelopes that you can find at Walmart)

Fold the top flap of card over in half (see below).  This will give you your z-fold, notice the bottom of the card, it kinda looks like a z.

Now the fun begins...  Start with pattern paper or card stock in another color to layer onto card.  The measurements for this card is 5.25x2 for out side flap and 5.25x4 for inside of card.

 Adhere to card and when you open it up, it will look like this...

To embellish, I cut out 3 1.5 inch pumpkins and ran them through my embossing machine with three different plates to give me swirls, dots and plaid designs.  After that, I used Staz On Saddle Brown ink to give it a distress looked and finally added pop up squares to give it some dimension.

I adhered the pumpkins to the top flap up off set them so that they are right in the middle.

Finally, added some drawn leaves to the front of the card.

Here is the inside final product, unfortunately the camera just doesn't do the color justice but you get the idea. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Review

Good morning friends, Carolyn here with a review of a new tool I just recently purchased.  Received a newsletter from Scrapbook.com recently and checked it out.  But I did not purchase from Scrapbook.com as it's out of stock, so went to another source, and it arrived this past Saturday afternoon. TIP:  Easy way to create borders for your scrapbook page layouts, or embellishing the page or creating edges for your cards.  Gives you ease of creating a border across the edge(s) of paper; and create a border strip and cut down to size you would like for embellishing a sentiment mat for a card or front of card.
