Today’s card is a “Z Fold, Friend “card, using the Easter Friends stamp set. This set is more versatile than you would think with some anytime sentiments.
Stamps
The Easter Friends stamp set is in the Mini Catalog. At first glance you will think of only Easter cards. I know that was my first thought. But on closer look at the adorable little chicks, I also noticed the sentiments. There is a Happy Easter stamp, and one for Spring, My Friend, as well as wishing happiness. And those little chicks are so cute and fluffy!
Paper and Dies
This beautiful Spring looking DSP is from the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper. It is one of the Sale-A-Bration options. I chose the pretty Spring flowers to pair with the cute little green hearts. The green hearts goes well with the grass and leaves. However, I did not follow the colors in the DSP totally with all of my greens. There is a mix of Granny Apple Green for the grass and Mint Macaron for the heart layer.
To give the cute chick a special layer, I used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The two largest of the rectangles were the ones I used. The soft scallops are a perfect fit to the happy little girl. There is also one special / different addition. On the inside of the card I added a flower from the DSP. It was on the edge of the scrap when I cut the front layer. After fussy cutting, It fit perfectly on the edge of the inside layer. And it is matches the sentiment as well! I love it.
Directions:
I mentioned this is a Z Fold card. It is just a bit different of a Z, but I love how it still stands perfectly.
- The card base of Pale Papaya is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 and scored on the long side at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4
- The front layer of Mint Macaron is 2 7/8 X 5 3/8
- The floral DSP strip is 2 X 5 3/8
- The heart DSP is 2 3/4 X 5 1/4
- The inside Vanilla is 4 X 5 1/4
The Mint layer is adhered after the floral DSP and is adhered with the card closed. I lined up the Mint Macaroon with the floral DSP and the inside card base. The edge is the same all around, like the Mint is another layer when closed.
Sale-A-Bration is the Best Time of Year!!
