Z-Fold Cards

Whoooooo's ready for another Paper Playtime challenge?!!

Our Challenge #48 is to make a Z-Fold card.  Z-Fold cards are very easy to create. Just fold your card like you normally would, then fold the front cover back onto itself.  Voila! 'Tis created.

I made 6 of these Cherry Z-Fold cards.  I love them!

#153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158


HELLO KITTY GREETINGS
Cherries page 31 cut @ 3 1/2"


I cheated a little bit and used the Blackout feature to cut the main cherry image in White.  These white cherries were cut smaller than the size I'll put on the front just so it would cover the see-through holes on the cherry, but not stick out around the edges.  They were cut @ 2".  
I then cut the stem away from the cherries and cut the 2 cherries apart.  I used this white piece to adhere to the back of the cherries so the white would show through.  The handbook shows you cutting very tiny pink oval pieces for the highlighted areas on the cherries.  Those of you who know me know that I HATE tiny pieces. LOL



Solid papers & Card base from Recollections
Card base is 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock cut in half @ 4 1/4"


Each card is then scored @ 5 1/2" for middle fold & 2 3/4" for Z Fold front





Pattern papers are from the Recollections stack "ALL GIRL".


Cut 1 large Green mat @ 5 1/4" x 4"
Cut 1 large Black mat @ 5" x 3 3/4"
Cut 1 large Cherry mat @ 4 3/4" x 3 1/2"
All of these large mats are for the inside of the card.

Cut 2 Green panels @ 2 1/2" x 4"
Cut 2 Black panels @ 2 1/4" x 3 3/4"
Cut 2 Cherry panels @ 2" x 3 1/2"
These are for the outside Z and the next panel that shows when card is open.

LACY LABELS
"Family" label was cut @ 2" including Shadow feature.


The "Family" label on the keypad overlay is Row 3, Column 2.
