I’m bringing in another Vertical Z-fold card similar to the one I shared last week. I needed more team birthday cards and ran out of the Hand-Penned paper that I was using. So here is my second version that would appeal to maybe a few more people (I could see giving this card to a female OR a male).
The Designer Paper Sale is still going on (through August 2). And this Bloom Where You’re Planted Paper is one of the nine packs being offered at 15% off! Click here for more details.
Products I used in today’s card… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements:
- Garden Green Cardstock: 4-1/4” x 11” scored parallel to short side at 2-1/8” and 5-1/2”
- Basic White Cardstock: 3-3/8” x 4″ & 1-1/2” x 4”
- Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Paper: 4″ x 4″ (potted plants design), 1” x 4” & ½” x 4” (dk green leaves design), & 1-1/2″ x 4″ (brick design)
- 2021-23 In Color Shimmer Vellum (Evening Evergreen): Scrap for punching sprig
- Evening Evergreen Chevron Weave Ribbon: 4-1/2” & 2-1/2”
Directions:
- Stamp “happy” on small white piece, then emboss & add a small Rhinestone that has been colored with the Dark Cinnamon Cider Blends Marker.
- Stamp “HAPPY” (with stamped-off/second generation Cinnamon Cider ink) and “birthday” on larger white piece.
- Fold card base into a Z as shown below. Then add the large white piece, the thinest green leaves designer paper piece, and the brick designer paper piece in that order to the inside area first tucking the punched Sprig under the upper left edge of the brick layer. There will be an overlap of the white & striped piece.
- Fold the card shut. Line up the 4” x 4” potted plant piece so that it fills the front folded flap & covers the layers underneath.
- Cut a notch in the end of the smaller ribbon and adhere it to the embossed piece (trim off excess). Attach the other green leaves designer paper piece to the longer ribbon (trim off the excess). Open the card fully and attach this piece under the potted plants section. Close the card and attach the embossed white piece at the top but also tucked under the front flap a bit.
- Open the card and add a green Holiday Rhinestone to dot the i in birthday.
Last weekend we were finally all able to gather (after a year and a half apart) at Grandma Jandro’s house to spend the day with my husband’s side of the family. We grilled and ate, played lawn games, and enjoyed the fabulous weather as we caught up on each other’s lives.
Here is Tim’s mom, Grandma Jandro with her grandkids and great grandkids.
This is my husband, Tim with his sisters and mom.
And here is our immediate family with grandma. Gosh… My boys look almost as tall as their dad!
Family is such a treasure.
