Country Bouquet Center Z Fold Slit Card

I totally forgot I had created this card!! I'm calling it a Center Z Fold Slit Card! I've seen Z Fold Slit Cards, but I wanted this in the center!  I used the Country Floral Lane DSP and the Country Bouquet stamp set to make this card...still in time for Valentine's Day!  I hope to do a video soon! Stay tuned.






Measurements:  

  • Mossy Meadow: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", 4 1/2" x 5 1/2" (extension)
  • Basic White: 2 5/8" square, 4" x 5 1/4"
  • Petal Pink: 2 3/4" square
  • Country Floral Lane (N): 3 pcs @ 1 7/8" x 5 1/4", 1 pc 1 7/8" x 3 3/4"
To Make This Card:

  • Begin by cutting slits in the "main" piece. Place cardstock into trimmer with the short side along the ruler @ 1 1/8". Push the blade in @ 2 1/8" and cut slit to 6 3/8". Slide piece over to opposide side and repeat. The slits are done!
  • Now, to make the score lines! Turn cardstock 90 degrees, place cut edge at 2 1/8" and score from top edge to cut edge on top, and then score from bottom edge up to cut edge.
  • The 2nd score line is @ 4 1/4" and you'll score the entire card! 
  • The last score line is @ 6 3/8". Score, again, from top edge to cut edge on top, and then score from bottom edge up to cut edge.
  • Make accordion folds as shown, creating "pop out" in the center.
  • However, this is not, yet, a full card!  Take the remaining piece of Mossy Meadow & score along long edge at 1/4". Attach this to the cut card front with Tear n Tape, extending the card! Adhere White piece to this extension.
  • Now it's time to decorate!!
  • Attach one long piece of DSP to "front".
  • Take one long piece and cut it into 4 - 1" pieces. You'll have 1 1/4" left over. Toss this piece. Attach the 1" pieces to the corresponding areas on the card.
  • Now, attach the last long DSP piece to the next section, as shown.
  • Add coordinating piece of DSP to one panel as shown.
  • Next, stamp the "heart"!  This is a 2-step image.  I used my Stamparatus to do this!  I stamped the "leaves"  first, in Mint Macaron and then the "flowers" in Petal Pink. Add sentiment in Mossy Meadow.
  • Now, attach this to Petal Pink layer, then add to card with Dimensionals as shown.
  • Stamp inside piece, as shown, so that it is hidden behind the Center Panel.
  • Fold into place, and fInish with Pastel Sequins
