CREATE A Z FOLD WITH A BAND CARD

 Hi Stampers!

Today’s card is what I call a Z Fold With A Band. It is similar to the Z Fold Panel Card (see previous blog post). This card is a Basic Z Fold Card (landscape) with a 1 1/4” band across the bottom of the card. This card can be oriented as either a landscape or a portrait card. Here is my sample card:

This card was created using products from the Butterfly Bouquet promotion. Items from this promotion will be available for order beginning 2 March 2021. For my card I used the Butterfly Bijou DSP and the Brilliant Wings Dies. 

BUTTERFLY BRILLIANCE

Brilliant Wings Dies

BUTTERFLY BIJOU DSP

The largest die in the set cuts out multiple butterflies from one design of the designer series paper.  I used two of the die cut butterflies on my card.

Here is a diagram for cutting and scoring the pieces for the card. Once you have scored the two parts of the card, add your layers and focal images, then assemble the card.

To create the Z Fold With A Band Card you will need two pieces of cardstock.  This card features Blushing Bride cardstock with Petal Pink.

* The card base is 4 1/4” x 11” scored and folded at 2 3/4” and 5 1/2”

* The band is 1 1/4” x 11”, scored and folded at 5 1/2” and 8 1/4”

Once you have adhered the layers to the card, place adhesive along the lower edge of the 2 3/4” section of the card. press the 5 1/2” portion of the band onto the bottom of the card. Place adhesive on the back side of the right end of band and adhere to card. That is all there is to it!

This finishes my series on Z Fold Cards. There are many more ways to make and modify a Z Fold card. In general Z Cards are easy to make, and are always appreciated by the recpients!

Check back in tomorrow for a recap of all the cards I have demonstrated this week, and an instructional video on assembling the cards!

Thank you for joining me today. Until next time...

Stamp Happy!
