Awash in Beauty Happy Birthday Double Z Fold Card. Fun Fold Friday

 Good Morning Everyone

It's Friday!! Woo Hoo! and it's been a while but we are back in the swing of it with our Fun Fold Friday Series.

I have created a double Z fold, which is one of my favourite folds - it's easy to put together and gives you lots of space to show off some beautiful paper.

Plus a selection of Fussy Cut flowers

----------------------------------------

Fold and burnish both pieces of Merry Merlot card stock, making sure you create a Z shape ( fold in half and then back on itself).

Take some fussy cut floral images, and add these to the 2 5/8" x 4 5/8" leaf print piece of DSP, running along the bottom and towards the left - making sure you leave enough room to the top right for your sentiment.  Trim off any overhanging edges.

Now add all the DSP and white card to the bases. Put the basic white onto the back of the card, and then you will find that all the rest just fit in one place so it's pretty easy to find their homes. 

Adhere the smaller z fold to the larger one, the larger piece has the bigger back panel to the right, the smaller piece leads with the larger panel. Add liquid glue to the back of the smallest panel on the small z fold piece and adhere to the centre of the larger back panel.

Now, fold all the pieces down, don't worry some to the edges will overlap - then add adhesive to the front piece of the smaller z, making sure you only add adhesive to the section that will be stuck to the other piece, otherwise you will just make a mess and stick it all closed!!

On a scrap of Basic White stamp the sentiment form the Charming Sentiments stamps set in Merry Merlot. Using the coordinating dies and your Cut & Emboss Machine, cut it out. 

Add this to the card front.

I hope you have enjoyed today's card. Please pop on over and see what Karen has created this week
