Autumn Blessings Z-Fold Card





Card makers often get into a rut with the dimensions of the cards they make with 4.25 x 5.5" being the default size. It was exciting to see Ashley's card  and video for this week's Make It Monday challenge. Her directions for creating the basic shape and adding embellishments to personalize it were clear and precise. It was so much fun and would be a good format for birthdays. My card uses PTI's Quilted: Autumn and Stylized Autumn stamp & die sets. The middle outer fold has a panel of PTI gingham pattern paper and the last fold a Tim Holtz stencil adds texture and color. All the die cuts extend over the top edge and are backed with a matching kraft card stock die cut for neatness.

  3. Thank you, Lainey. The photo was taken last September at Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park with my iPhone. The light was amazing and I didn't have time to run for my bigger camera.

    1. Vikki, you got a terrific shot with your iPhone. I thought you were going to say it was somewhere in Ireland! I forget we have some really majestic sights here in the US.
