Easy Z fold Card

I think the Z-fold is my go-to for quick, interesting cards that don't require a lot of supplies and go together quickly.  I've played quite a bit with the larger sunflower stamp and die from the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle, but I hadn't done anything with the smaller sunflower until yesterday.  It was the perfect size for the front of this card.

The supplies for this card are as follows:

4-1/4 x 11 inches - Bumble Bee card stock for the card base

2-7/8 x 4-1/8 inches - Misty Moonlight for the layer

2-3/4 x 4 inches (front image); 3-1/2 x 4-3/4 inches (inside layer); scraps for sunflower image and leaves (approx. 2-1/4 x 3-3/4 inches) - Whisper White 

2-1/2 x 4 inches - Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper

Adhesive sheets (optional but makes assembly quick)

Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin' Pad & Tuxedo Black Momento Pad

Stampin' Blends: Daffodil Delight; Shaded Spruce (I used just the light); Mint Macaron (I used just the light); Soft Suede (I used just the light); and Ivory

2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots

And, of course the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle

All the ordering information can be found via the picture links below this post.

I put together a quick video showing how to assemble this fun card.  Please take a few minutes to watch and then I'd appreciate your comments.  As I'm working on building my business and online presence, I'm also asking that you subscribe to my YouTube channel so you don't miss any of the videos I'm sharing.  Thanks so much and happy stamping!

Another Simple Fancy-Fold Card

I'm excited to share with you today another simple fancy-fold card idea.  I happened to see this idea on fellow demonstrator, Patty Bennett's blog.  She had done some creative stamping on the center panel, however I thought this layout was a great way to use that beautiful designer series paper that so many of us have in our stashes!  At the end of this post, you can view a quick video that I put together showing how quick and easy this card is to put together!

This was the first card I came up with.  It uses the Woven Threads DSP, and the coordinating stamp set, Woven Heirlooms.  While this stamp set will be staying around, the coordinating DSP will not be.

After having made the above card, I decided to see what other DSP's I had (and hadn't yet used!), and decided upon the Dinoroar DSP.  The Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set pairs with it quite well.

Here are the measurements that I used:

Pretty Peacock cardstock: 4-1/4" x 5-1/2", 2-1/2" x 11" scored at 5-1/2"

Whisper White cardstock: 2-1/4" x 5-1/4" and a scrap piece large enough for the Tailored Tag punch

Designer Series paper (Dinoroar here): 3" x 5-1/4" (cut in half so you end up with 2- 1-1/2" x 5-1/4" pieces), 2-1/4" 5-1/4"

Timeless Tropical Card Suite

I recently had my SU! team participate in a swap.  I love getting cards in the mail, and getting swap cards in the mail means that I get inspiration!  For a stamper there isn't much better.

These cards were inspired by one of the swaps I'd received:

They all use the same layout, but as you can see you get a different look by changing out the stamps and embossing folders.

Dimensions for the cards are as follows:

Card base - 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" along the 8-1/2" side; from the same card stock color a piece cut 5" x 3-3/4"
Basic Black card stock - 5-1/8" x 3-7/8"; 2-5/8" x 3-5/8"
Whisper White card stock - 4" x 5-1/4"; 2-1/2" x 3-1/2"
Vellum card stock - 2-1/2" x 3-1/2"

A list of the supplies is below, and you can follow the video link to see how I put these all together.  

If you purchase the Timeless Tropical Bundle from me, I'll send you this card kit in the mail so you can make your own set of cards!
