Double Z-fold card...

 

This was an interesting card to make, and when finished, it fits nicely into an A2 envelope.

The aqua plaid cardstock was cut to 8 1/4" X 5 1/2", and with the 8 1/4" side across the top, it was scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2".

A second coordinating cardstock was cut at 81/4" X 4 1/4". Again, with the 8 1/4" side across the top, it was scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2".

After folding and burnishing the folds, I adhered the two pieces together so that the finished card was 4 1/4" at its widest point and 5 1/2" high.

This is how the card looks when opened. The two white panels that I stamped, ink blended and embellished with flowers measured 2 1/2" X 4".

I added a little double-sided tape under the ribbon tied around the card front so that it wouldn't slip off.

Here's a closer peek at the two inside panels. This picture more clearly shows how I used gems for the flower centers. 

I learned how to make this card from watching a video from Connie Stewart of Simply Simple Stamping. If you'd like to watch the video you can see it here.

Connie shows how to make two of these cards at once, and you can download her measurements and supply list on her blog post here.

As you read this, we are on a little camping adventure in northern Minnesota. We'll be home soon, and I'll share a little more about our trip then.

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