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

Stamped, Punched Heart

The heart on this card is SO unique.  It took me a minute or two to figure it out. It's first 2--step stamped on a piece of White cardstock, and then punched out with the coordinating punch.  Just adorable!

Measurements:  : 

• Thick Basic White: 1/2 sheet
• Basic White: 2 3/4" x 4", scrap
• Country Floral Lane DSP (N): 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

To Make this Card:

• Die cut Blue DSP piece with large scalloped die from the Scalloped Contour Dies.
• Attach to folded White card.
• Stamp "greenery" in Mint Macaron onto scrap of White. I used the Stamparatus for this!  Then stamp the "flowers" in Polished Pink. Note: this is a shaded stamp, so all images will not stamp the same strength.
• Decide which part of the stamped image you want to show on your card front. Then, line up the punch, and punch it out.  Too cool, huh!
• Die cut medium stitched scallop from the Scalloped Contour Dies.
• Stamp sentiment on the lower part of this die.
• Attach "heart", where desired, with Dimensionals.
• Stamp the 2 "solid" hearts in Polished Pink.
• Finish with scattered InColor gems.
