Monday's Easy Fun Fold - Double Z

Hi Everyone and Welcome!

It's a long weekend here and thankfully the end of our latest heat wave. This morning, when I was out walking the animals, I ran into a neighbour. She commented that it felt a little cooler. I said it was "only" going up to 25 or 30 with the humidity. She laughed at the only. Our spot on the island doesn't usually get these smoking hot temperatures.

Every month I have a different theme for my Facebook Lives. This month it's fun folds. Since fun folds are sometimes a little tricky, I'm going to provide written instruction here for each of them. That said, this one is fairly easy and a great first fun fold for all of our new stampers. 

This morning's Facebook Live featured the Double Z fold. I used the adorable Storybook Gnomes DSP and the Hope & Peace Stamp Set.

You will need the following supplies: a card base 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2; a layer of cardstock (of a different colour - this one is going right next to your DSP) 4 x 10 1/2, scored at 5 1/4 and 2 5/8; DSP piece of 5 x 3 3/4 and 2 3/8 x 3 3/4. They can be the same or different patterns. If your DSP is directional, the 3 3/4 is the landscape measurement.

In order to complete your card, you'll need to grab a sentiment stamp, ink and any decorations you want to add (die cuts, punched images, ribbons, etc.) 

Fold your card base along the score line and burnish. For you next layer, fold at the 5 1/4 score and then fold the 2 5/8 score in the opposite direction. Burnish your score lines. 

Attach the large piece of DSP to the inside of the 5 1/4 x 10 1/2 piece (on the unscored side). Next you'll attach the small piece of DSP to the front bottom 2 5/8 piece of this layer. Both pieces of DSP should be facing the same direction. Attach this to the front of your card base. Now you're ready to attach your sentiment and any other bits. Be careful not to put any adhesive on pieces that hang over the edge of the front fold (dimensionals are only on the bottom half of my sentiment strip.

And there you have it - a fun fold!
