Fantabulistic Z-Fold Card Tutorial

The awesomeness of the Stampin’ Up Summer Shadows Dies doesn’t end! Here’s another stunner you can make with this die set. These are only available free during Sale-a-bration (ends September 30). Even though the dies coordinate with the Shaded Summer stamp set (annual catalog) you don’t need the stamp set to create spectacular projects. These dies stand out all by themselves. The words are from the In Your Words Sale-a-bration host set. I have more details and easy to follow, printable instructions for the Fantabulistic Z-Fold Card Tutorial below.

Z Folds are an easy technique and they add a lot of fun to your designs. If you aren’t sure how to make a Z fold card, I have instructions below and a video here of a previous Z-Fold project. They fit in a standard medium sized envelope.

Here’s a peak at the card unfolded. If you wanted to leave more space for writing at a piece of Basic White instead of the 2nd striped designer paper in the middle fold. For nice crisp score lines, use the Simply Scored tool. 

The greeting is as fun as the card. They come from the In Your Words Saleabration Host Stamp Set. The card design is versatile and can be used for many occasions. Simply change the greeting and it can be birthday, thank you, sympathy, anniversary/wedding, congratulations and so much more.

I’m loving these 2 step layering dies. The black over bright colors like the Mango Melody and Polished Pink is stunning.
