Another Double Z Fold!

Hi Stampers,

Today I'm sharing my larger version of the Double Z Joy Fold card. This one is a 5-1/2" square card created using the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set & the Daisy Delight bundle.

So cheerful! The paper is from the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper pack. The daisy is stamped in Daffodil Delight twice, punched out with the matching punch and layered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The center is also stamped in Daffodil Delight and covored with Clear Wink of Stella. The leaves are stamped in Old Olive & Memento Tuxedo Black and fussy-cut. The sentiment is from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set, using Old Olive.

The smaller daisies on the inside panel are a layered stamp. The solid layer is stamped off once in Daffodil Delight and the outline is added on top using the same color, only full-strength. Stamping off once or even twice is a great way to get shades of the same color.

The front panel of my card looks like designer paper, but it's not! Using an acrylic block large enough to completely cover the 3-1/4" piece of Whisper White card stock, I inked it up with my Daffodil Delight inkpad and spritzed it lightly with water. Then I stamped it on the cardstock the same as if I were using a stamp - this is the result! Of course, it needs to dry thoroughly before you stamp the sentiment on it.

Here's the double "Z" view. The instructions for assembling this card are the same as for my July 15th post - look under labels on the left side of this page for "Double Z Joy Fold". Here are the materials you need to make this card:

Here's another card I made in the same size & style, using the Lift Me Up Bundle.

The designer paper used here is no longer available, but you can see how highly adaptable this card is. Let your imagination go wild using the papers & stamps you already own!
