Dragonflies on a Z-fold card...

To make this card, I started with a piece of cardstock that was 5 1/2" X 8 1/2". With the long side across the top of my score board, I scored it at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4". The first score became a mountain fold and the second score, a valley fold.

I added a piece of DSP to the front that measured 1 7/8" X 5 1/4". 

I heat embossed the sentiment using some purple EP, then die-cut it and adhered the left half to the front folded section of the card.

A couple of metallic silver, die-cut dragonflies were added as embellishments.

The DSP for the inside measure 4" X 5 1/4".

I stamped the inside sentiment with purple ink onto white cardstock and then die-cut it, using the same die that I had used for the front. 

To get the right placement, I added adhesive to the back of the sentiment piece, and held it behind the die-cut on the front, making sure it matched exactly. Then I carefully  laid it down onto the DSP on the inside, so that when the card is closed, you cannot see it.

One more little dragonfly embellishment finished the card.

This is an easy card to make and looks much more complicated than it is. You can use almost any shape for the white piece. I've used plain and fancy ovals, circles and rectangles. You can even use two smaller shapes on both the front and the inside, if you wish.

We've just returned from a 14-day RV trip to Vancouver, Washington, and back. It was wonderful to spend some time with our granddaughter and our kids and their spouses who live in that area. We also stopped several times enroute to visit other relatives and friends.

While we were gone, our floors were refinished and some other carpentry and finishing work was done. Everything looks great and we're working now to get all the furniture and decor back in place. My plants need some attention, too!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
