Hi Stampers!
I have another Z Fold card for you today. It is called a Z Fold Panel Card, at least that is what I call it. The card has a look similar to last week’s Z Fold with a Band version, but is created a little differently. If you like layering and having plenty of areas to stamp on and decorate, this card is for you. If those things are not your favorite, this card can still be for you. Remember, it is always okay to take a card fold or design and do it your way! The card base is easy to create, but the card base measurements and scoring are not standard, and the design requires one 4 1/2” cut near the bottom of the card. It sounds scary, but it is not. We’ll walk through it together. Who knows? This just might become your favorite Z Fold! Let’s take a look at the sample cards:

Z FOLD PANEL CARD - LET’S GIVE IT A TRY
SUPPLIES NEEDED
* Cardstock for main card base, back panel, and back panel layer (white or light color)
* Cardstock and / or patterned paper to decorate card
* Stamps, ink, embellishments, ribbon, adhesives , etc.
* Trimmer with scoring blade (or stylish) or a scoring board and a bone folder or reasonable facsimile
MEASUREMENTS
* Main Card Base - cut cardstock at 9 3/4” x 4”. See chart below for cutting and scoring instructions. I find it easier to make the cut first, then do the scoring.
* Back Panel - cut cardstock at 5 1/2” x 4 1/4” - this cardstock can be the same color as the main panel or use a contrasting color.
* Layer for Back Panel - white or light color cardstock cut at 5” x 3 3/4” (you can change to 5 1/4” x 4 if you like)
* Layers for Panel and Strip Areas of Card- the measurements for these pieces are listed in a chart below. I used a mat layer of cardstock (Layer 1 in the chart). topped with a layer of patterned paper ( Layer 2 on in the chart). There are several other options:
- Use only the cardstock - Layer 1
- Use only the pattern paper layer - Layer 2
- Use patterned paper only, but cut as for Layer 1
- Use cardstock only, but cut as for Layer 2
- Use cardstock for both layers (if you have some not so heavy cardstock layers is a great way to use it)
- Use patterned paper for both layers
- Use white or light colored cardstock for top layer - this option allows you to stamp directly onto the layer, color images, etc.
