Share What You Love Simple Z-Fold card

Welcome to this month's Stampers Showcase Blog hop featuring FUN & FANCY FOLD themed projects, this is going to be such a fun hop! 

I do love a fun fold, it's a great way to add a WOW factor to your cards, I've created a simple Z-Fold card, and it shows of the gorgeous (retiring) Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper.

My card is a metric take of the 6" x 6" card, I adjusted the measurements to fit a standard A4 cardstock by starting halving the width of the full sheet and going from there. Once I had the base elements, I layered each panel with a piece of DSP, here's a view of the fold from above.

The Specialty DSP brought the card to life with a little shimmer here and there. For the focal point of the card front I used the Love What You Do stamp set (carrying over, yay), embossing the sentiment with clear embossing powder to give it a little shine. The new Stitched Nested Labels were perfect for a contrasting shape to the floral paper, with a Pearlised Doily and Shimmer paint on the flowers for a touch a bling. 

The nested label die cuts on the front are slightly bigger than the writing panel inside, this is so when the card is closed the inner panel is completely hidden. I used 3 of the nested dies, the largest 2 for the front, then used the same smaller die to cut the larger layer for the back and the next size down for the Whisper White writing panel.

Next on the hop is amazing Amy Koenders form America, you are probably familiar with her blog, Stamp with Amy K; click on the icon to be taken to her blog and see her fabulous project. 

Measurements for Simple Z-Fold card as above:

• 1 piece of 29.7 cm x  14.8 cm cardstock, score along the long side at 7.4 cm then flip your cardstock over still along the long side and score at 14.8 cm - by flipping the cardstock this will help prevent any cracking
• 1 piece of 29.7 cm x 5cm cardstock for your strip along the bottom, score along the long side the same as above.
• 1 piece of 14.5 cm x 14.5 cm Designer Series Paper to decorate the main inside of your card.
• 2 pieces of 7.1 cm x 14.5 cm Designer Series Paper to decorate the front two folds of the card.
• 1 piece of 14.5 x 4.7 cm & 2 pieces 7.1 cm x 4.7 cm of Designer Series Paper to decorate your strip.

This is the basic design of the card, additional card stock is required for the focal point and writing panel, this will vary dependant on the nesting dies used.
