All of today’s cards feature a double z-fold design… but each is slightly different in size, orientation, etc. To see how to create these folds, be sure to watch the video.

My first card is a side folding double z-fold. I used the fun new Altenew Candlelight Stamp Set (SSS | ALT) — those candles are incredible!

When you open the card you can see the fun double z-fold. I did simple masking to make sure there was a spot for my message inside. On the background I used the new Altenew Dainty Swiss Dots Stamp Set (SSS | ALT).

You can also do the double z-fold design for a square card. This 5″ x 5″ card features the new Altenew Peaceful Wreath Stamp Set (SSS | ALT) – it is stunning! I also added a gold cardstock “peace” from the coordinating die set.

On the background, I again used the Altenew Dainty Swiss Dots Stamp Set (SSS | ALT). When you open the card, you can see a sentiment from the Altenew Blessings Stamp Set (SSS | ALT) on the z-fold.

Next up is a landscape version of the double z-fold card. I had such fun using the new Altenew Brilliant Baubles Stamp Set (SSS | ALT) – they are easy to layer! The sentiment is from the Altenew Peace Love Joy Stamp Set (SSS | ALT).

Aren’t those ornaments fun? I added lots of sparkle details using my Sakura Stardust Glitter Pen.

I am always looking for ways to include gift cards in my cards. And the double z-fold design is perfect! I used the new lovely Altenew Layered Snowflakes Die (SSS | ALT) and a sentiment from the Altenew Dainty Swiss Dots Stamp Set (SSS | ALT).

I used the Altenew Dainty Swiss Dots Stamp Set (SSS | ALT) to create this two-colored dot background. Simply stamp it once… rotate your paper… and stamp again in a different color.

And when you open the card, there is a gift card inside…

  14. I’m always in awe of your “paper engineering” ideas, and this double z technique is no exception (Lila did a wonderful job of naming it). The one item from this release that’s definitely going on my wish list is the Dainty Swiss Dot background stamp. I’ve been wanting a background stamp and this may just be the one!
