Tractor Pull Surprise: Triple Hitch Z-Fold Card Tutorial
This fun fold card is wheelie cute! I had so much fun creating this adorable Z-Fold card using the Stampin’ Up! Tractor & Co. Bundle. At first glance, the card shows a cheerful little green tractor hauling a single trailer full of pumpkins.
But open the Z fold… and SURPRISE! It turns into a triple hitch trailer train—complete with two more pumpkin-filled trailers tagging along. Talk about a special delivery straight from the patch!
A Card Full of Country Charm
This project captures all the cozy vibes of fall farm life. I used the “Special Delivery” sentiment from the Fancy Borders Stamp Set, which was the perfect fit for this design. The soft sky and ground are layered from the Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper, giving it a warm seasonal backdrop without needing to ink blend or stamp a background.
And how cute is that tractor?! With its big wheels and bright green body, it really pulls the whole card together. 😉
About the Tractor & Co Bundle
If you’re dreaming of country roads, farmhouse charm, and cozy cards with a twist of humor, then the Tractor & Co. Stamp Set and Dies are just the ticket to ride. This bundle includes adorable stamps and dies that let you build a complete scene—tractors, trailers, crops, and more.
It’s udderly fantastic for:
- Fall and harvest-themed cards
- Christmas cards with a country spin
- Thank you and encouragement cards (like today’s!)
- And of course, thinking of you greetings
The Tractor & Co. Bundle will be available to customers on July 1, but demonstrators (and those joining with the Starter Kit Deal) can get it right now! That’s just one of the perks of joining my Stampin’ Up! family. 🐖🎉
Why This Fun Fold Rocks
This card may look elaborate, but it folds flat and fits inside a standard A2 envelope—perfect for sending some handmade fall joy through the mail. (Just a heads up: if you’re mailing it, I recommend asking the post office to hand-cancel it due to the layered embellishments.)
Whether you’re crafting for Thanksgiving, a fall birthday, or just love a good tractor pun, this card delivers.
