Z Fold Flurries

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments.  I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

While QACAS cards, such as those I shared Monday, are great for mass makes, I wanted to step up the designs for some special cards.  But instead of stepping UP, I stepped these beauties OUT, with Z folds...

Once again, while they might look the same at first glance, each is slightly different.

Card: Whisper White, Dapper Denim, Pool Party and Silver Foil
Ink: Dapper Denim and Pool Party
Stamp sets: Flurry of Wishes
Tools and embellishments: Layering Squares Framelits
Adhesives: Tombow

Challenges...
#101 AG at Crafty Gals Corner
#342 AAG at Craft your passion
#146 Christmas at Dream Valley Challenges

Whatever you're doing this weekend, have a great one!  I'll be back on Monday with another creation, so I hope you'll join me then.

For Another Deer One

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments.  I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

You might have realized I have a bit of an obsession with Z fold cards?  They are so easy to create and look stunning, so I challenge anyone to not enjoy creating them!

Today's card was created in honor of a dear friend, Jim's birthday earlier this month...

Jim and his wife, Jill, are also good friends of Darnell.  Knowing they would have loved to have met with her when I did in July, I couldn't leave them out of the fun.  As soon as plans were made, I knew I would wear the same scarf that I gave Jill for her birthday last year, having bought us identical ones at the time.  Then, as I prepared everyone's gifts, I created one for them too; Port Sunlight guidebook, card and DVD.  All were sent with Jim's birthday card and I'm honored to have been able to include them in what was a wonderful day.

Card: Baked Brown Sugar and Mossy Meadow (both retired), Shimmery White and Serene Scenery DSP
Ink: Jet Black StazOn, Crumb Cake and Pear Pizzazz
Stamp sets: In The Meadow
Tools and embellishments: Blender pens, Layering Squares Framelits
Adhesives: Tombow
