Z- fold Birthday card.

Hi there,

Today I am sharing a Z-fold card. The card size is 8 1/4" x 5 3/4". I checked YouTube for videos on Z fold card and all the cards were A5 size. I wanted to make an A4 one, so I tweaked the measurements.

The card base I used pink card stock and layered it with white card stock and pattern paper from  Bob n Betty - 'Feel Like a Butterfly'. This is one of my favorite paper pack. 

I decorated the central Z fold with handmade peonies and filler flowers. I fussy cut a butterfly and added foam tape under the wings for 3D effect.

I was requested to add a photograph of the recipient. So I added this on inner fold of Z. I printed the sentiment and foiled it with my Minc. I added two tags on the inner panels for writing personal message.

A spread view of the card with the tags. before I added the smalled Z fold I made a tag pocket on the inner panel. 

I made a matching box cover. Since all my cards are dimensional I always make a matching box cover.

Pattern paper used: 

Bob n Betty 

Submitting this for the following challenge:

Hope you liked my card. Till next time - Happy Crafting!!

Wedding scrapbook album

Hi folks,

Today is a pictorial walk through a wedding album I made and also a video of it. The papers I used are from Bob n Betty, wired organza ribbon from Meraki cards. The flowers are all hand made - I have used Cheery Lynn dies, Heartfelt Creation Classic Rose die.
The album is 9" x 9" and has 6 pocket pages. I used Hidden Hinge by Kathy Orta for hinges. All the pockets with pull out photo mat.
So here are pictures....

I used the cameo to cut the names and tags for jounalling.

and here is the video:

Gifting made special

Hi crafty folks,

It is festival time and time for greeting and gifting. I made box cards, which can hold candles, sweets, dry fruits etc. The cards have tags for writing your personal messages.

 I used Bob n Betty papers. The papers are gorgeous and quite thick. Easy to fussy cut the images. I used Papericious Sigma cardstock - 180 gsm for making flowers. I used Heartfelt Creations flower dies. Sit back and enjoy the pictures.

 A basic method to make this card box: ( sorry I don't have any pictures to support)

For card:

Cardstock - 11inches by 7 inches.

Score on the 11 inch side at 5 inches and 6 inches. You will have a card base of size 7 inches by 5 inches with 1 inch depth.

Box Base:

Cardstock - 6 inches by 7.5 inches

Score at 3/4 of an inch on all four sides. Cut the score line on the shorter side along the dotted line as in the picture.

 Crease the folds. Stick the tabs and adhere pattern paper.

Box cover 

Cardstock - 6 1/16 inches x 7 9/16 (61/16 is one small division on Martha Stewart score board after 6" and 7 9/16 is one small division after 7 1/2") 

Score 3/4 inches from all the sides and cut tabs as done for the box base. Cut a window before making the cover. Adhere an acetate sheet on the back side of the window. 

Stick pattern paper on the card base. Adhere the box on the inside, leave 1/8 of inch gap from the score line so that there is no difficulty in closing the card. Embellish as you would like. 

You can vary sizes of the box and card to any size. Hope the measurements were helpful. Don't forget to leave your comments below.

See you next time with more creations.

Till then..... Happy Crafting!
