Z-Fold Card In the Pink with Scallops

 

Annie’s Ink-Lings

Hello again,

 Today I’m sharing another card from my Tuesday card class.  I chose the colors of pink and green because there is so much of those colors in my flower gardens, along with butterflies flitting here and there.  This Z-Fold is a bit different from the regular Z-Fold card as the card base Z is scored at one set of measurements and the scallop border is scored at a different set of measurements, thereby making Z’s on both sides of the card.  I really like the effect it gives.

Here are the directions:  

Measurements 

Pink Card Base 4-1/4 x 11 inches; scored at 2-3/4 and 5-1/2 inches
Green Panels: two at 2-1/2 x 4 inches and one at 4 x 5-1/4 inches
Designer Paper Panels: two at 2-1/4 x 3-3/4 inches and one at 5 x 3-3/4 inches

Sentiment Panels for Inside of Card 

White 1-1/2 x 2-1/2 inches
Green 1-3/4 x 2-3/4 inches

Sentiment Panel for Back of Card 

White 4 x 4 x 5-1/4 inches. Stamp or write a sentiment before adhering the panel in place.

Border Panel

            line to the end.
10. For front of card, stamp sentiment on the small white CS, layer onto green

            CS, and adhere to 3rd Z panel. 

11. Curl wings of butterflies, then glue 3 butterflies to front of card and one

Z-Fold Card - Feminine and Masculine

Annie’s Ink-Lings

How would you like to make a card that is simple, pretty and elegant, and one that is simple and fun?  Then these cards are for you.  Wanting to send cards of encouragement to friends during this time of "physical distancing," I began browsing in Pinterest for something to give me inspiration.  I really like "Z" cards because they are a very simple fold and can be easily dressed up to make as fancy as you like or something to make you smile.  Take a look.

I love how the doily looks tucked behind the daisy.  It was stamped and then I fussy cut it.















                                                                               Notice the daisy on the inside.

This is the same style card except done in soft blue and green.  For the embellishment on the flag, I just cut out some flowers from the designer paper.  Also put some on the inside of the card.

Smiling and giggling while making this card, I was so happy with the way it turned out.  Such a cute little guy (girl?).  Just hanging out and watching the day go by.  Hoping it brings laughter or at least a smile to a friend.
