Potted Geraniums Z Fold

I wanted to make a card using the DIES from this bundle.  Believe it or not, this is really a fast and fun card!  I used the InColor DSP packs for the "label" and accent piece, and the Timeworn Type EF behind the die cut pots.


Measurements:

  • Sweet Sorbet (N): scraps
  • Evening Evergreen: scraps
  • Basic Gray: scraps
  • Smokey Slate: scraps
To Make This Card:

  • Fold Evening Evergreen card base in half. Then make Z Fold on front flap by folding the front back on itself and creasing well with a bone folder!
  • Attach Sweet Sorbet DSP piece to folded back front.
  • Add White quarter to inside.
  • Run the Evening Evergreen DSP piece through Stitched Scalloped die from the Scalloped Contour Dies.
  • Run the smaller White piece through the Timeworn Type EF.  Attach to the Evergreen DSP "label".
  • Cut 2 "flower bases" from Sweet Sorbet cardstock.
  • Cut one "leaf" piece from Evening Evergreen cardstock.
  • Cut "pot" pieces from Basic Gray and "dirt" from Smokey Slate.
  • Attach "pot" pieces together and add to card with Dimensionals.
  • Then, glue down "dirt", "leaves", and one "flower".  Attach the other "flowers" with Dimensionals.
