Fun Folds are the best kind of folds for creating cards. Today I have paired a Double Z fold with products from the Artfully Composed Suite of Products in the Mini Catalog.
Front
The front of the card stars not only the beautiful Artfully Composed Designer Series paper, but some of the Artfully Layered Stamps. And to top it off there are two different die cut leaves using the Tropical Layers Dies, which are part of the bundle. For a bit of the unexpected, I heat embossed the sentiment and some extra little heart shaped leaves onto the solid die cut leaf.
Inside Back
I know it seems odd doing the back before the center but you will see the method behind my madness…hopefully! The Double Z fold, the extra Z fold, is attached to the front and the back of the card. You can see the back section is attached to a piece of the DSP which has a very similar leaf. And to pair better with that DSP, I added the word stamp from the set using Pale Papaya Ink.
Center Section
From this center view you can see all of the sections of the card. The center panel of the small Z is where you would write your greeting and sign. It is the least exciting of the card and why I went here last. But this open view allows you to view the full Double Z at work. And you can see that the front sentiment layer is raised with Stampin’ Dimensionals with a few of the Polished Dots embellishments for some bling.
Measurements:
The card base of Pear Pizzaz is cut to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 and scored at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4 on the 8 1/2″ length. The panels are 2 Mint Macaron pieces cut to 1 7/8 X 5 1/4. With the back larger panel cut to 4 X 5 1/4. For the DSP there are 2 pieces cut to 1 3/4 X 5 and the larger one is cut to 3 7/8 X 5 1/8.
The smaller Z section is also Mint Macaron and is cut to 3 1/8 X 7. The Basic White panels are the front focal piece cut to 2 7/8 X 2 7/8. And the small panels are 2 that are cut 1 7/8 X 2 7/8 each.
To adhere the smaller Z section, fold both the little Z and the card as they would be closed. Center the small Z on the closed card. Pay attention to how much of the focal layer is actually over that front left fold. Place Stampin’ Dimensionals only on that part. Adhere it to the front panel. Then find where the back section lands. Add adhesive to that panel and close the card.

Oh, Jackie, you truly captured the beauty of this bundle in this double Z fold!! I really love the designer paper and the die cut leaves just ooze the tropics to me. Thanks for sharing your fun fold talents with the blog hop this month!
Beautiful card, Jackie! I’ve always made a smaller “z” at the bottom. I have to try the larger “z”, like yours!
Great fun fold Jackie! It really does highlight that beautiful DSP. I love it!!
Fun, fun fold Jackie! Love what you did with the “elephant ear” leaf.
