Last Monday’s Acorns Craft & Chat involved a Stepped Z Fold Card. Despite it’s look, it is a very simple and fun card to make. The original design is not mine, although I changed the sizing to create a standard UK sized card. You can find the original by Mixed Up Craft, here.
I combined the Fond Of Autumn Bundle (Jul – Dec Mini Catalogue) with the He’s The Man double sided-paper (Annual Catalogue) to create the card. The paper is not one that would normally spring to mind when making an Autumn card. But, the colours in the paper are just right.
To make the focal point for the front of this Stepped Z Fold card
- Stamp the large image from the Fond of Autumn stamp set twice using Early Espresso ink.
- Die cut both images using the more intricate of the larger dies – this cuts the image into 4 pieces. These can then be arranged to suit your card.
- Colour the images you wish to use using Stampin’ Blends. I used Daffodil Delight, Mossy Meadow. Old Olive, and Pumpkin Pie
- Stamp chosen sentiment from the Fond of Autumn stamp set using Early Espresso ink and the die-cut. I used the Rectangle Stitched Dies.
- Arrange your images and sentiment on your card front and adhere using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots.
The finished Stepped Z Fold Card looks like this when open.
