Floral Z-Fold Lace Cards

These cards are a Z-Fold style card, but the design makes a full-front card.  These cards were made with some floral paper that I don’t know what they are from and then use a border lace punch from Stampin’ Up to decorate the front edge. 

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

Blue Rose Card

  • Marina Mist card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Very Vanilla card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Floral designer series paper (Unknown)
  • Gallery Blooms stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
  • Words of Beauty stamps and dies (November 2025 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
  • Marina Mist ink (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

Rust Butterfly Card

  • Ridinghood Red card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Floral designer series paper (Unknown)
  • Sentimental Park stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Double Layer Butterfly die (Spellbinders ?)
  • Ridinghood Red ink (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

To make a similar card, since I don’t know where the floral paper came from, cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and score at 1 ½” x 4 ¼”.  Fold in half and then fold the small portion toward you.  From your neutral color (white or vanilla) cut a piece for the inside of your card to 4” x 5 ¼”, a piece for the front to 2 ¾” x 5 ¼” and for the middle inside panel cut a piece to 2 ½” x 5 ¼”.  For the lace piece cut a piece to 2” x 5 ½” and then use the lace punch (or a decorative border die if you have one) to cut the border edge.  Adhere this to the back of the front flap, you may need to trim off a bit to have it line up where you would like for it to show well. 

From your floral paper cut a piece for the front to 2 5/8” x 5”, a piece for your inside panel to 2 1/8” x 5” and a piece for the middle panel to 1 1/8” x 5”.  Take your neutral piece measuring 2 ¾” x 5 ¼” piece and the 2 5/8” x 5” floral piece and adhere the floral piece to it and then adhere the left side of the neutral piece to the front flap.  Use the 2 1/8” x 5” floral piece to the 4” x 5 ¼” piece (to either side, use your preference as I did one of each) and then adhere this to the back panel of the inside of your card.  Then adhere the last floral piece to the neutral piece and adhere that to the middle panel on the inside. 

Use a decorative stamp and\or die to decorate the front and use a greeting stamp and label to go with it on the front.  Stamp a greeting on the inside back panel of the card if you wish. 

This gives you a really nice card design to use for any type of card you prefer.

Lovely Blossoms Floral Double Z-Fold Card

I am infatuated with this card made with the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper and the Lovely Arrangements stamps and dies.  This is one of those card where I came up with what I wanted to do in my head and it actually turned out just like I pictured it, which doesn’t usually happen. 

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

  • Cloud Cover card stock (2025-2027 Incolor Stampin’ Up)
  • Old Olive card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Lovely Blossoms designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Lovely Arrangements stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
  • Cloud Cover ink (2025-2027 Incolor Stampin’ Up)
  • Secret Sea Stampin’ Write Marker (2025-2027 Incolor Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Scoring Board or scoring blade from trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

From a piece of Cloud Cover card stock cut a card base to 7” x 8 ½” and score at 2 1/8” and 4 ¼” and fold into your “Z” shape.  Cut 1 ½” off the top to make your card base measure 5 ½” x 8 ½” and then you have a matching strip for you double “Z”.  With your white card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and two pieces to 2” x 5 3/8”

Take the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper pack and pull out a piece of the Cloud Cover striped paper and a piece of the Cloud Clover with white flowers.  From the striped paper cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Take the floral piece and cut two pieces to 1 7/8” x 5 ¼”.  Adhere each of these pieces to the white pieces.  Adhere the stripes paper on the white to the back of your card base.  Take one for floral pieces on white and adhere to the front half fold and the other to the inside center section.  Then take the 1 ½” long “Z” fold and adhere the long end to the front of your card and the short end to the back of your card to form your Double “Z” fold. 

Grab a piece of white card stock along with your Cloud Cover ink, Secret Sea Stampin’ Write marker and your Lovely Arrangements stamps and dies.  With the full flower stamp, tap your stamp onto your Cloud Cover ink and then take the marker and color the center and stamp on your white card stock.  Clean your stamp and repeat 3 more times.  Then do the same 4 times with the half flower.  Use your dies to cut these all out.  Then with some Old Olive card stock and the single and double leaf dies, cut two of each. 

Also stamp the “Thank You” and then the “So very much” underneath it, both in Cloud Cover Ink and use a label die to cut it out. 

To start building your flowers across your strip, adhere your label hanging above the strip, then adhere two full flowers and one half and a double leaf and two single leaves. 

Then adhere one full and one half to each of the small sections and divide your double leave into two singles and use one on each part.  The thing you may want to pay a little attention to, which I didn’t, is the flowers showing when the card it closed, but I don’t think it is a big deal, just mentioning if it will bother you. 

For the inside I used a label I had laying around as it was the perfect size, but I would say you can just cut a piece to 1 7/8” x 3” and adhere to the upper left side.  Then I adhere the last half flower to the bottom which looks like it is in the background of all the flowers on the strip and decorates your label.  This card turned out exactly as I picture I my head when I planned it, which is not usually the case.

Mixed Floral Z-Fold Pop-Up Card

This is a z-fold card, but with a pop-up twist, so there is a middle layer that pops up when you start to open the card.  I love the colors, I saw someone else use them for a card so I decided to use the colors to make this style card. 

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

  • Pretty in Pink card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Mixed Floral designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Jet Black Staz-On ink
  • Stampin’ Blends (Stampin’ Up)
    • Pretty in Pink Light
    • Pretty in Pink Dark
    • Mint Macaroon Dark
    • Lemon Lolly Light
    • Lemon Lolly Dark
  • Scoring board or paper trimmer scoring blade
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

With the Pretty in Pink card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” then score at 2 1/8 and 4 ¼” and fold the card in half and the fold the front quarter forward to form your z-fold.  Cut another piece with the Pretty in Pink to 2 ¾” x 4 ¼”.  With your white card stock cut a piece to 2” x 4 1/8”, one to 4 3/8” x 4 5/8” and a third piece to 2 5/8” x 4 1/8” and lastly one to 2 ½” x 3” scored at ½”, 1 ¼” and 2”.   With the black floral designer series paper from the Mixed Floral designer series paper pack.  Cut a piece to 4 x 5 ¼” and a second to 1 7/8” x 4”.

Take the coneflower stamp from the Mixed Florals set and the Jet Black Staz-On ink and stamp on to a spare piece of white card stock.  Color the leaves with the Mint Macaroon dark Stampin’ Blends, the dainty flowers and large flower centers with the Lemon Lolly light and dark Stampin’ Blends and the large flowers with the light and dark Pretty in Pink Stampin Blends.  With the white piece measuring 2 5/8” x 4 1/8” and stamps from the Mixed Labels stamp set stamp the dainty flower stamp once or twice in the lower left corner and the “I’m so glad we’re friends” greeting in the upper left corner. 

Now let’s assemble the card.  Adhere the white piece of card stock measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” to the back of the card, and the black floral piece measuring 4” x 5 ¼” to the white card stock piece. 

With the 2 ½” x 3” scored piece, fold into a square.  Put adhesive on the top of the right side of ½” part.  Fold in half with the glue half down, line up with the middle fold so it will lay flat with card closed.  The put adhesive on the upper ½” section and fold card onto it again making sure it all lays flat.  Take the Pretty in Pink piece and adhere your stamped white piece to it.  Put adhesive on the top of your box piece and adhere this greeting piece to it centered.

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.

Citrus Blooms Lemon Upside-Down Double Z-Fold Card

Z-fold cards are so fun and adorable, and this Double Z-fold card is even better and more fun as you can decorate across the second z-fold and\or on the card layers.  This design takes that normal Double Z-Fold and flips it upside down as the second, smaller z-fold is usually toward the bottom.  This makes it perfect for making cards with decorations that hang down.

You will need the following supplies to make this card:

  • Night of Navy card stock
  • White card stock
  • Mediterranean Blooms designer series paper
    • Two different blue pieces, one with a larger print and one with a smaller print
  • Citrus Blooms stamp set
  • Scissors to cut out images
  • Paper trimmer
  • Night of Navy ink pad
  • Your preferred adhesive

For the card base cut an 8 ½” x 11” piece of Night of Navy card stock to 8 ½” x 5 ½”.  Take one piece and fold it in half to measure 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Then take the top panel and fold it back again so the front panel measures 2 1/8” x 4 ¼” which forms your first Z-fold.  Take the larger print blue designer series paper and cut two strips to 2” x 5 ¼” and adhere these to the two small flaps of your Z-fold card.  Cut a piece of white card stock to 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere that to the back panel of your card. 

Then take other half of Night of Navy card stock and cut a piece to 1 ¾” x 8 ½”.  Now take the smaller blue print designer series paper and cut a strip to measure 1 ½” x 8 ¼”.   Adhere the smaller print designer series paper to the center of the Night of Navy card stock.  Now fold this strip in half to measure 1 ¾” x 4 ¼” with the floral side out.  Take the bottom portion and fold the blue print designer series paper to each other to form your other Z-fold going the opposite direction measuring 1 ¾” x 2 1/8”. 

Adhere the two Z-folds together by putting adhesive on the outer half of the under side of the long portion of the strip , make sure you don’t get the adhesive to far or your Z-fold will stick together.  Then put glue on the bottom of the strip half fold and adhere that to the bottom part of your card.  You now have your Double Z-fold. 

Now it is time to do the decorations for the card.  Take the lemon designer series paper and use your scissors to cut out the large double lemons grouping and then single lemon.  Adhere the single lemon to the back portion of the card hanging off the smaller strip Z-fold.  Take the large grouping and put adhesive on one half that will stick to the front of the card and then also a bit at the top to stick to the strip, but make sure there isn’t any adhesive that is going to hang out the back that will stick your card together.    

The last thing to do is to add your greeting.  I used the “wishing you the brightest birthday” stamp, stamped it in Night of Navy ink and stamped it on the white background on the back of the card in the space next to the lemons to make sure it wouldn’t show when the card was closed. 

I also made this card in yellow with the oranges out of the same Mediterranean Blooms designer series paper pack which you can see at Citrus Blooms Upside-Down Double Z-Fold Card – Welcome or you can visit my blog at www.daisychaingfun.com to see that post and many other ideas as well.
