Violet Dreams Sending Love Double Z-Fold Card

July 9, 2026 No Comments

I haven’t made a double Z-fold card in a while but it was perfect for this paper from the Violet Dreams designer series paper from Stampin’ Up. The stamps and dies from the Framed Violets set added the accents for a lovely card.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

Gorgeous Grape card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Peaceful Pine card stock (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Violet Dreams designer series paper (July 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Framed Violets stamp set and dies (July 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
Label die
Peaceful Pine Ink
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

Start by cutting your card base from Gorgeous Grape card stock measuring 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 2 1/8” and 4 ¼” and fold into a “Z” shape with the front small flap folded to the left. Cut a second to 3” x 6 ¾” and score at 2 ¼” and 4 ½” and fold into a “Z” as well with the top flap also folded to the left. From the Violet Dreams designer series paper pack find the Secret Sea with the polka dots and then the Secret Sea piece with the violets on it. From the polka dot piece cut two pieces to 1 7/8” x 5 ¼” and one to 4” x 5 ¼”. From the violet paper cut three pieces to 2” x 2 ¾”.

Adhere the three polka dot pieces to your large “Z” with one of the thinner pieces on the front panel, one on the middle panel and the large piece to the back panel. Adhere your three violet pieces to the small “Z”, keeping them in order if they were cut that way. From a white pieces of card stock cut a piece to 1 ¾” x 2 ½” and adhere over the violet floral piece on the back panel of your small “Z” piece.

Take your smaller “Z” and adhere the left half of it to your front panel of your larger “Z” and then adhere the back panel of the violet piece to the polka dot back panel (it seems to work best to put your adhesive on the back, fold it to the front and then close the card to ensure it is placed properly).

From a scrap piece of Gorgeous Grape card stock cut out two of the single violet flowers from the Framed Violets dies and from Peaceful Pine one of the leaves. On a piece of white scrap paper stamp the “take care” greeting from the Framed Violets stamp set in Peaceful Pine ink and cut out with your label die (I don’t know where this label die is from). Adhere the label across the front panel of your violet paper angled up. Adhere the two flowers over the left end along with the leaf.

On the back panel stamp the “sending love” greeting in Peaceful Pine ink.

This card turned out beautiful and would make anyone who received it smile knowing you care.

Velvet Meadow Diagonal Z-Fold Card

June 24, 2026 No Comments

This large bold paper from the Velvet Meadow designer series paper with the flocking is so beautiful, it can stand alone. Adding the pink velveteen paper for an accent and stamps from the Flowering Meadow stamps and dies, all from Stampin’ Up just made this card shine.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

Peaceful Pine card stock (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Barely Blush Velveteen card stock (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Velvet Meadow designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Flowering Meadow stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Scalloped Blooms dies (2026 Annual Catalog)
Peaceful Pine ink (Stampin’ Up)
Daffodil Delight ink (Stampin’ Up)
Berry Burst Stampin’ Write Market (retired Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer

This card is all about the cutting, after that it just goes together quickly. From a piece of Peaceful Pine card stock cut a piece to 5 ½” x 11” and from the right-side angle down to 3” and then score from the right high side at 4 ¼ and 8 ½”. Fold into you’re Z-fold with the small front piece folding to the left.

From your white card stock cut the following:

Back panel – 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and 3 ½” x 3 ¾”
Middle panel (front and back) – two pieces to 4 1/8” x 4 3/8”
Front panel – 2 3/8” x 3 3/8”

Now from the Velvet Meadow find the piece with the bright large flowers and the Peaceful Pine background and cut a strip to 5 ¼” x 12”. Then cut into three pieces measuring 4” each. And from the Barely Blush velveteen paper from the Velveteen Assortment Specialty designer series paper cut a piece to 2 ¼” x 3 ¼”.

For the back panel take the floral piece you cut from the right side and the white piece measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and line up and cut the angle to match your back panel. There are many ways to cut your angles to match, I tend to align the floral on the white and move up from the bottom 1/8” more and then align the white on the Peaceful Pine and again move up 1/8” more and then line up the diagonal on my cutter and cut them, but you can mark them and cut them that way or what works for you. Then take one of the white pieces for the middle panel and the middle floral piece and cut that diagonally. Then take the other white piece for the middle panel and the third floral piece, but you will cut the opposite angle as this goes on the back side of your middle panel so that it shows from the front. Then take the small white piece and the Barely Blush velveteen and do the same. Now adhere them all down to their appropriate panels.

With a piece of scrap white card stock and the Flowering Meadow stamp set find the daisy flower. Ink the stem part of the stamp in Peaceful Pine ink and then use your Berry Burst Stampin’ Write marker to ink the flower and stamp on your white card stock. Then find the large floral center stamp and stamp in Daffodil Delight ink. Use the dies to cut out both. Now take the “thanks” greeting stamp and stamp in Peaceful Pine ink and use the small label die from the Scalloped Blooms dies to cut out your label. Adhere your label to the front panel on your Barely Blush velveteen and then adhere the flower center to your daisy and then the flower stem over the straight left side of your label.

For the inside take your last piece of white card stock you cut and angle it to the same angle, since it is smaller you can use any of the angles. Adhere to your back panel center on three-sided from the bottom, making sure it will be covered when you close your card. Use the Peaceful Pine ink and stamp the “you always make me smile” greeting.

Such a bright and beautiful card to say thanks.
