I kept on creating and came up with three more alternate project ideas from the October 2017 Pining for Plaid Paper Pumpkin kit. Today I’m sharing my z-fold card – a great alternate card for sharing the family photo and the pretty shaker card at the same time.

Here are the directions & measurements if you wish to recreate this.

• Fold the plaid card base from the kit the opposite way so the plaid is on the inside of the card. Then fold the front layer in half back on itself (right edge to left side) to create the z. You should only see the plaid design if you do this correctly.
• Assemble the shaker portion of the card (per the directions in the kit) and layer onto a piece of 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ Cherry Cobbler cardstock.
• Attach another piece of 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ Cherry Cobbler cardstock centered to the inside of the card. This is where a 3-3/4″ x 5″ family photo will go.
• Then attach the layered shaker section…keep the card folded flat and add the shaker by applying adhesive only the back left side. When attaching, line up the shaker Cherry Cobbler piece with the inside Cherry Cobbler piece.

• The last piece to add is a 1-5/8″ x 5″ Whisper White cardstock strip. It will disappear when the card is fully open, but it allows the sender to sign the card.

I love this card fold because the recipient can see everything wonderful at once when the card is open.

And it folds flat for mailing.

Keep in mind that the shaker cards in this kit are pretty thick and will require extra postage.
