A Z-Fold Birthday Card

This delightful Z-fold card is my own design and uses a 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ card base and a piece of 5-1/4″ x 11-3/4″ designer series paper which is scored at 1-3/4″, 5-3/4″ and 8-3/4″. The 4″ x 5-1/4″ side is mounted directly on the 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ card base in the matching blue color of the designer series paper and the designer series paper is folded at the score lines as shown in the second image. The 1-3/4″ section on the front flap of the card is glued to the 3 x 5-1/4″ section of the paper to create the Z-Fold.

Two white rectangular shapes are cut with the Rectangle Stitched Dies in the same size, then the corners are punch with the Curvy Corner Trio Punch. The rectangular pieces are glued to the front flap and the inside of the card as shown in the images. The second rectangular piece is directly aligned with the first rectangular piece so it is invisible when the card is closed.

The following StampinUp! materials were used:
