Stamp Up "Z" Fold Card with Last Chance Welcoming Woods & Heartfelt Wishes

Hi Everyone,

I just finished my 3rd week of the 8 Weeks of Monday of Holiday Cards and Giveaways. I love creating cards that can be enjoyed after they have been given out. The "Z" Fold Stand Up card is perfect!

With this stand up card, you can create for any occasion or holiday. I have created them with mini calendars, post it notes and simply for a holiday occasion to add to your holiday decorations. The two cards are the same dimensions. It's just that the calendar one stands up and back more.

It's really easy to make the "Z" Fold Stand Up card. 

• Cut a base at 4 1/4" x 11"
• Score at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2"
• Cut a piece same as base color 5 1/2 x 4 1/4"
• Then you create any layers you wish
• You then need something on the inside that will stop the card from closing so it stands. I like to do a strip of cardstock with ribbon. You can also put a strip for your sentiment. It doesn't need to be much, just a little dimmension. 

The Welcoming Woods and Heartfelt Wishes are part of the Last Chance promotion. The July-December 2021 mini catalog will be retiring soon. I think the Welcoming Woods is such a wonderful all season set. There are many sentiments for occasions and you can do lots of techniques with this set. There are many items that will carry over, but the majority of items are retiring. some are discounted. All these items are whild supplies last, so don't delay. You can see all the retiring items at my online store. It's so fun to gift yourself with Stampin' Up! products!

To see how I assembled my "Z" Fold Stand Up! card, you can watch my Live YouTube Monday replay.

Thanks again for stopping in today. I've been away for a bit and am so happy to be back. Comment and let me know what you think of my card today. Also, create your own and share.

Happy Stampin',

12 Fridays of Fall Projects Week 6 with Welcoming Woods Set

 

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to Week 6 of my 12 Fridays of Fall Projects. I am so happy with my card today. The Welcoming Woods Stamp sets is one of my favorites. You can find it in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog by Stampin' Up! It is a great set for many occasions.

For my card, I used Shimmery White. I like the texture it gives to the blended look. I used a 4" x 4 1/4" piece of Basic Black Cardstock and a 4" x 3 3/4" of Shimmery White. Stampin' Up! Blending Brushes are so nice. They glide over your paper so nicely and its easy to blend the colors.

Don't forget that the inside of your card should be as special as the outside of your card. I like adding a layer on the inside of the card. It balances the weight better between the front and inside. Check out my video for more details.
