Father's Day newsflash for Pals Paper Arts#315, Z fold tutorial

There are lots of double Z-fold cards around at the moment and I particularly like this one because it's small and you can get two cards from one sheet of A4 cardstock.

These instructions are for :
One envelope and one card from one sheet of DSP and half a sheet of A4 card.
It's also a great size because you can make the envelope from a square 17.5cm x 17.5 cm (6 7/8" ), 
Punch and Score at 9cm
and you can use the balance of the sheet of 12x12 to decorate the card front and inside. 
Cut 2 pieces of  DSP from the remaining piece 10 x 10cm and 10 x 5cm. (if you cut a 10cm strip then just trim your 2 pieces from this)
The finished card size is 10.5 x 10.5cm 

Essentially you take a piece of A4 cardstock, place portrait and score at
5.25 cm and 10.5cm -- it's very handy that these measurements are already there on your metric scoring plate
Rotate to Landscape and cut 2 pieces at 10.5cm,  and 2 strips at 2.5cm.
Voila- 2 card bases and a leftover strip.

I used the tutorial from Amanda Bates here. 

I do love all the colours so it wasn't too hard to put them together.



To get the extra gloss on the camera I have heat embossed with clear powder over the coloured image. And to get the glitz on the flash I have added gold wink of stella on then sun ray image from Kinda Eclectic.



I do love the bright and fun sentiments in the Pun Intended set.
Thanks for looking, I will have some more samples of this design coming up.
EDITED, you can see more samples here and here

    Liz, this card is great! I will have to try this fun fold... it does make an impact in presentation. Your choice of DSPs to go along with your bold use of color is so fun. Thanks for including the PPA color challenge in your stamping fun this week. Hope to see you in our gallery often!

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

Colour INKspiration#178 Happy Hibiscus

Happy Hibiscus is a new set in my collection and I needed to get it out and play with it, so this colour combination seemed like a good place to start.  Isn't the Inspiration picture amazing? I wish I was a better gardener and could grow these gorgeous treasures. But since that is not my skill I am happy to admire nature. Picture credit - https://leahhopephotography.client-gallery.com/.../print... I used the watercolour 100 paper and created two pieces of colour, one a range of dark and light Calypso Coral, and one a mix of Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive.  Once dry I was able to cut out the leaves and tiny flowers. I stamped the 3 large flowers over the watercolour and cut them out using the Hybrid Embossing Folder - It's so easy and super effective as it embosses and cuts in one pass creating some amazing depth for the blossoms. I love the leaf shapes and definition in these dies, just gorgeous. Lots of white seemed like a good way to let the colours shine, so a simple embosse...
