About This Card
Summer is calling — and this Triple Z Fold Card is answering! 🌴☀️ This card is part of my Triple Z Fold Series, and it’s honestly one of my favorites because it delivers so much visual impact while still being totally achievable for crafters of all skill levels. Whether you’re a seasoned paper crafter or just getting started, this fun fold card is going to make you feel like a total rockstar.
The triple z fold structure creates a layered, dimensional look that unfolds beautifully — and trust me, the people who receive these cards are going to think you spent hours on them. (Our little secret! 😉)
The Products That Make It Shine
The real star of this project is the Stampin’ Up! Beach Time Scrapbooking Workshop Kit — and I’ve repurposed it in the best way! I absolutely love that this kit comes packed with gorgeous die cuts and coordinating designer paper, so everything works together effortlessly.
The palm trees, sunglasses, sun motifs, and that dreamy sunset palette in Daffodil Delight and Pool Party just screamsummer.
Perfect for So Many Occasions
Here’s what I love most about this card design — it’s incredibly versatile! The sunshine-and-beach version (hello, “Hello Sunshine”! ☀️) is perfect for summer birthdays, thinking-of-you cards, or just brightening someone’s day.
Meanwhile, the carousel and balloon version with that sweet “Celebrate” sentiment is spot-on for birthdays, graduations, new babies, or any milestone worth honoring.
Because the Triple Z Fold structure works with so many different themes and product suites, you’ll find yourself coming back to this fold again and again. It’s one of those techniques that becomes a go-to in your card-making toolkit! 🧰
Instructions & Video 🎥
The full written instructions and measurements are included in the PDF — everything you need to cut, score, and assemble with confidence.
I also have a video class walking you through the card base construction step by step. It’s the perfect companion to the written instructions, especially if you’re a visual learner!
For the decorative focal point, the picnic bugs are die-cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies, layered onto a punched circle, and finished with mushrooms in Mossy Meadow and Cajun Craze. The “Spread Joy” sentiment is heat embossed in white for a beautiful raised finish. ✨
