I wanted to show off more of the beautiful papers Stampin’ Up! offers in the All About Autumn pack. Keeping 2″ strips of these papers next to each other in a z-fold card was a great way to display the designs. But the far right side (where the sentiment portion of the card would be) was so exposed. After playing around with my cardstock a bit more and came up with a way to fancy up that sentiment section AND keep the basic z-fold card secure and flat when closed. I’m calling it the Hidden Scenery Z-Fold Card! And I made seven examples for you today!
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these cards with the All About Autumn Suite of products (Autumn Leaves Stamps & Dies, Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots, All About Autumn Designer Paper, Oxidized Copper Specialty Paper), and other coordinating Stampin’ Up!® product. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.

US BACK-TO-SCHOOL SALES TAX HOLIDAY
Thirteen states and Puerto Rico are offering a sales tax holiday for school supplies during the months of July, August, or September. Products that are eligible according to the statute include “items normally used by students in a standard classroom for educational purposes.” To see the names of participating states, products exempted from tax, and sales tax holiday dates 2023 Tax Holiday spreadsheet here. If you want to get in on the tax holiday, you must place your order with Stampin’ Up! during the tax holiday period in order to receive these items tax-free (which is midnight on the first day to midnight on the last day of the tax holiday). Also, keep in mind that this is a state sales tax holiday; the state statute may not apply to county, city, and special jurisdiction taxes.
Beautiful cards, Rachel. I love this DSP and your fun-fold that uses an entire sheet is awesome. Thanks for the great video. Sorry about your tendon. My Morton’s Neuroma acts up if I don’t wear shoes with a wide-toe box. I have to be very careful to get comfortable shoes. Good luck to you on healing quickly and getting your neuroma under control. Enjoy your week!
Thank you for the well wishes and empathy. I’m so glad that you like this card idea as well Hilda.
Your cards are so beautiful! Such beautiful fall patterned paper!
Awww… thank you Tonya.
Awesome set of cards Rachel!
Thanks Kylie!
Love your design and how you used all of the beautiful scenery. Can hardly wait for it to come back in stock. Love also the tips you give us.
As of today the paper is expected to be back in stock the week of October 9th. I’m glad you enjoyed what I shared Annie! thx
Rachel- your cards are always amazing. I love the way you demonstrate on the videos. Take care of yourself.
Thank you, Joan. 😘
