Mixed Media Floral Z-Fold Card

This cheery floral z-fold card made with Mixed Media Floral designer series paper from Stampin’ Up was so easy and quick to make.     

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

  • Daffodil Delight card stock
  • White card stock
  • Mixed Media Floral designer series paper
  • Mixed Florals stamps and dies
  • Mixed Labels stamps and dies
  • Basic Black ink
  • Calypso Coral Dark Stampin’ Blends ben
  • Scissors
  • Scoring board or scoring blade for paper trimmer
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

Take the Daffodil Delight card stock and cut to 5 ½” x 11” and score at 3 3/8” and 6 ¾” and fold.  With the white card stock cut two pieces 3 1/8” x 5 ¼” and one to 4” x 5 ¼”.  From the Mixed Media Floral designer series paper pack, find the piece with the mixed florals of yellow cone flowers and peach tulips.  Hand cut around the flowers with the even portion on the right side and up to the large cone flower on the right side.  Then cut another portion of the two cone flowers from the rest of the left side to use in the middle section. 

Note:   The other easier option if you don’t care about the additional flowers on the middle panel is to not cut the white cardstock, but to just cut your Mixed Media Floral designer series paper to the three sizes of the white card stock and then you don’t have to the cutting out of the flowers.  The other just ads a bit more dimension and I wanted the additional flowers in the middle section.

Take the first 3 1/8” piece of white card stock and line up the right side of the floral paper you cut out to line the right and bottom, and cut to size.  Take the second 3 1/8” piece of white card stock and cut the next section of the floral paper to match for the lower portion and use the piece of two cone flowers you cut separate to the right and line up to look like they go together.  Then take the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of white card stock and line up and cut the last section of the floral paper to match.  Adhere all pieces to the white portions and adhere to the Daffodil Delight card base. 

With the Mixed Florals stamp set, stamp two ladybugs with the Basic Black ink, color them in with the Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends pen.  Die cut out each of the ladybugs and adhere one to the white portion of the middle panel and the other to the upper right side of the back panel.  With the Mixed Labels stamp set and the Basic Black ink, stamp the small “Thank You” and cut out with the small label die and then cut out the next size up label die in Daffadil Delight and adhere together and to the upper left corner of the back panel of the card. 

That is all it takes to make this cute card.
