Radiant Sunflowers Double "Z" Fold

 I just love this new, fall-themed, bundle - Radiant Sunflowers! The colors are all fall!! I spotted this double Z fold somewhere, and knew I had to give it a try.  It is just stunning! It does require some coloring - for this stamp - but who doesn't love to color?  And, you just use the color-palette guide on the back of the DSP! I love it!  I think I'm ready for fall!! (autumn)




Measurements:  

  • Cajun Craze: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE (base), 3 1/4" x 10:
  • Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 2 1/2" x 3", 3" square (image), 1 1/4" x 2 1/2" (label)
  • Sunflower Fiels DSP (N): 2 1/2" x 4" (white sunflower print), 3" x 4 1/4" (Cajun Plaid)
To Make This Card:

  • For the base, create the "Z" by folding the Cajun Craze piece in half, and then fold the front back on itself with the outside cut edge meeting the fold. Crease well.
  • For the inside "Z", you'll need to score @ 2 3/4" - 5 1/2, fold into a "Z" and crease well.
  • Now, to finish the "base".
  • Add the larger, White piece to the inside, and the smaller DSP piece to the front flap.  Set aside.
  • For the inside "Z", add the large DSP piece to the front, and the smaller, White piece to the "inside".
  • Next, stamp the image in Black into onto the square of White.  Color with Blends, in the colors suggested on the DSP!  Die cut with corresponding die from the Radiant Sunflowers Dies. I also added a little Wink of Stella to the flowers.
  • Stamp sentiment in Cajun Craze ink onto piece of White.  Die cut with rounded rectangle from the Nested Essentials Dies.
  • Let's put the card together before we assemble the front.
  • This sample fits a little differently than most double Z folds. 
  • First determine where the front of the inside "Z" needs to land on the front of the base.  I marked that lightly with a pencil.  Place adhesive on the fold between the marks, and then on the outside, cut edge of the inside "Z".  Adhere to card front.
  • For the other side, place adhesive behind the "Z" with the White layer.  Fold the card into place, the inside of this "Z" will get tucked BEHIND the fold of the base.  Looks weird, a little more difficult to adhere, but it is a true double "Z"!!
  • Now, to finish the front.
  • Add the "label" first, attaching it to the lower right corner, with very little "edge".
  • Add the flowers to the front with Dimensionals.
  • Finish with a small Mossy Meadow Gingham bow, and scattered new, Radiant Gems.
