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.
