AH 214 - Double Z-Fold Card "It's Your Day"

It's such a beautiful time of year with the flowers blooming and a perfect time for the sketch this week at Atlantic Hearts... little flowers in a centre square. You don't have to use flowers but it's that time of year - in my area, anyway. People are just starting to plant for the summer months now that the last frost overnight (hopefully) is behind us. 

I chose to so something a little different for this sketch. The front of my card is where you see the actual sketch (minus the ribbon). I put the sentiment on the right side of my card as it is a double z-fold card and it fit better there. I wanted the front to be a floral focus. 

The black background is one of the papers from the Live Beautifully Paper Pack and the flowers are from the May Stamp of the Month (Love, Laugh, Love). Both of these products are only available during the month of May so if either of them appeal to you, be sure to place your order THIS MONTH as they will not be available after May 31st! 

Join us at Atlantic Hearts and show us your interpretation of the sketch shown above. You have until Sunday evening to link up your project.

Due to a number of requests as to how to create this card, I am posting the cutting and scoring details here...

Double Z-Fold Card Instructions

This card will fit in a standard card size envelope :)

Cardstock 1: Cut 4^1/4" x 11"    Score at 2^3/4" and 5^1/2"

Cardstock 2: Cut 3^1/2" x 8^1/2"   Score at 2^1/8" and 4^1/4"

Patterned Paper 2: Cut 3^1/4" x 4" and two of 1^7/8" x 3^1/4"

To easily line up the top piece, do all the folding, then butt up the bottom folded edge of the top piece to the folded edge of the bottom piece.

(Personally, I found it much more helpful to look at the finished card to figure out how to assemble it!) Don't adhere anything until you figure out how it goes together...
