Hi guys, wakey wakey it's that Quirky time again! And it's officially spring here in the New Forest. (England) I thought it was about time I made my DT card and be on time too! So here it is!
It's Diane's turn to set the theme over on the Quirky Crafts Challenge Blog, and she has decided this fortnightly challenge will be....
First Signs of Spring!
using a
Double Z Fold Card!
So, TWO things for you to think about! For the card makers out there Diane would love you to make a double Z fold card. Splitcoaststampers have a great tutorial and a video to show you how to make the card if you don't already know. For the non-card makers using a
Double Z Fold Card!
perhaps you can create an exploding box filled with butterflies or snowdrops or a scrap page, which has a secret page that folds out revealing the first signs of spring... naughty rabbits suddenly come to mind!The challenge this time is sponsored by The Stamping Boutique and they have very kindly offered the winner 5 Digi Stamps of their choice!
I have actually made one o
f these Z cards before, but didn't know what it was called! (thought I was being clever and making something new! As if!) So I decided to go along with the same idea, using two square cards~(stuck together) as I'm rubbish at measuring, so if you are too, here's a reminder how I did it...here. But I will do another 'How To' in the next post.The backing paper's I used were a freebie 6x6 paper stack by Kate Knight called Spring Fling with CardMaking & Paper Craft Magazine Feb issue 101.
They also came with matching chipboards!I've used two digital images from our Sponsor, The Stamping Boutique, 'Tulips' and 'Spring' coloured with Promarkers. I recycled the butterfly on the front from something someone sent me, and coloured with a dark red using a Promaker, (it was blue) I've added a Memory-Box swirl, peel off corners, and inside peel off flowers, another butterfly and loads of Stickles Glitter to the flowers on the paper. It's all held closed with some dark pink spotty ribbon from my stash.
Now, this not only makes a nice card this way round, but if you turn it back to front, it also makes another nice card! I've just done this one very quickly, using papers from the same paper stack. You could add sentiments to the side panels and some extra flowers. Two cards
for one!So, that's the Challenge, make a Double Z card with a Spring Theme!
