My Card Today

My card for you today is a double flap Z fold card that is truly super easy and fast to make. Firstly, I wanted to use the brand new Stronger Together stamp set that I couldn’t wait to get my hands on. So, it was the first one I inked up when I got my order this week because we all have besties that could use a card now and then, right? Then, I paired it with the absolutely gorgeous Awash in Beauty designer paper – an absolute must-have if you love beautiful paper like I do!

• Card measurements:
  • Card Base #1: 11″ x 5-1/2″ and scored at 5-1/2″
    • Designer Paper #1: 5-1/4″ x 5-1/4″ (1) and 5-1/4″ x 2-1/2″ (1)
    • Designer Paper #2: 5-1/4″ x 2-1/2″ (1)
  • Card Base #2: 7″ x 3-1/2″ and scored at 3-1/2″
    • Designer Paper: 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″

Now, the FUN Part!

• After the card bases were cut, scored and all of the designer paper attached to them, I started the details.
• Firstly, I stamped the image and allowed it to dry well before coloring with Stampin’ Blends (colors listed below). After that, I cropped it out with the Stylish Shapes square die. Note that I chose a patterned paper that worked in any orientation – have you ever put it on and then discovered your paper was upside down??
• Because the fun fold doesn’t close completely, I added some sentiments that would help with that. Firstly, I stamped the “Together We Are Stronger” sentiment and cropped it out with the Tasteful Labels die. After that, I stamped the “Here For You” stamped and punched it out with a retired heart punch. Although I didn’t want to layer anything onto the inside layer, I thought it would be cute to stamp directly onto the patterned paper, so I stamped the “Girl Power” in the middle.
• Once all of the stamping was done, I layered them on the folds with adhesive as well as dimensionals with the hearts.
• Finally, I added white baker’s twine on the small card base as well as some clear dots that I colored with the Old Olive Stampin’ Blends marker.
• The card closes nicely by sliding the smaller card behind the two sentiments and folds flat for mailing!

I am submitting this card to the following challenges:

• C.R.A.F.T. Challenge
• Ellibelle’s Crafty Wednesday Challenge
• Through The Craft Room Door Challenge
• Tic Tac Toe Challenge (Layers, Bow, Floral)
