Hi everyone: Today's card is a Z fold card I made for the
Paper Playtime Challenge # 48. I have made Z fold cards before but I had never made one with a fancy edge (scallops). I saw a tutorial where the edge was made by inserting a 12 inch decorative edge strip in between two card blanks. This works fine but I had this heavy weight dsp from K and Co. that was two sided. This allows you to create edge without making two cards. I am super pleased by the results. Check it out.
As mentioned, the paper is from K and Co. I cut a scalloped circle with my cuttlebug and embellished this with a medallion made from the same dsp. Cardstock from recollectons. Ribbon from Michaels.
I originally cut the card at 5 3/4 inches on the high side and 4 1/2 inches on the short side. This allows for the edge punch to shorten the card to A2 size. The card was then scored at 3 1/4 and 7 inches and folded. Note that the edges do not meet. This makes the card much more demensional in my estimation. I also have this card opening left because I tried the folds both ways and wanted the printed side on the front. Lots of fun.
Back tomorrow with a new video.
See you later.........................play nice.
