Accordion Z-Fold Card Tutorial

 

If you've been following me for awhile now, you know that I love the z-fold card. It's simple and yet a real "wow" for the recipient. 

Today's card adds just a little twist, a few more folds. And, it's a great way to show-off the beautiful Designer Series Papers that Stampin' Up! sells too.

I put together a video showing all the steps to put together this fun-fold card. And, at the end I share a few more projects that I made using it.

I hope you'll check it out. 

Measurements:

Evening Evergreen cardstock: 5-1/2" x 11", score along the 11" side at 1-3/4", 3-1/2", 5-1/4" & 7"; 3" x 6", score along the 6" side at 3"

Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper: 2 pieces cut at 1-1/2" x 5-1/4" and 2 pieces cut at 2-3/4" x 2-3/4"

October 2022 Paper Pumpkin Alternative

 Each month, I make thank-you cards to send to my Paper Pumpkin subscribers using the current month kit stamps. It's a great challenge for me and hopefully an inspiration for those who receive one in the mail too!

This month, I wanted to incorporate a couple techniques too. The first came somewhat by accident. After making one card adding White Craft ink for the stars, I decided to use an emboss-resist technique.

The other technique is masking using Stampin' Up!'s new masking paper.

Measurements:

Crumb Cake cardstock: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" along the 8-1/2" side

Pool Party cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4"

Basic White cardstock: 3-3/4" x 5"; plus scrap

Follow along with the technique tutorial video that I put together:

#SU! The Best Remedy Kits Collection Alternative

Did you know that Stampin' Up! has a line of paper-crafting kits? There is a subscription option called Paper Pumpkin, and then there is a separate line not found in any publication called the Kits Collection. These kits are available if they are found on the SU! website. 

After putting together this fun kit,

The Best Remedy

I had this idea to do something fun with a little fussy-cutting and cutting using a Xacto-knife. Whether you take the time for the Xacto-knife cutting or not, I hope you'll consider making some additional cards and projects using this fun kit.

If you are up to the challenge, please watch the tutorial video that I put together:

Measurements:

Basic White Thick cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4"

Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper: 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"; 1-3/8" x 3-1/2"

Pacific Point cardstock: 2-1/4" x 4-1/2"

Basic White cardstock: 3/8" x 2-1/4" & 3" x 3-1/2"
