Violet Dreams Sending Love Double Z-Fold Card

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

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.

Velvet Meadow Z-Fold Panel Card

I finally got a chance to play with the Velvet Meadows designer series paper and Flowering Meadow stamps and dies set from Stampin’ Up.  I use it to make this beautiful Z-Fold Panel card, or at least that is what I am calling it.  This floral paper which has some bright colors that stand out but also muted colors as well along with flocking on some of the white flowers, I really like it and it was perfect for this card design. 

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

  • Cloud Cover card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Bubble Bath card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Velvet Meadow designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  •  stamp set and dies (Stampin’ Up)
  •  ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

From a piece of Cloud Cover card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  From some Bubble Bath card stock cut a piece to 4 ¾” x 10 ½” and score at 3 ½” and 7”, then fold the center panel to the right and the top panel to the left forming your z-fold.  From white card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” for the front of your Cloud Cover base.  Then three pieces measuring 3 3/8” x 4 5/8”, one to 2 ¾” x 4” and one to 1 34” x 2 ¼”.  From the Velvet Meadow designer series paper pack find the Cloud Cover piece that has a light design and then the full floral piece.  With the Cloud Cover piece cut one to 4” x 5 ¼” and one to 1 5/8” x 2”.  Cut three of the floral paper to 3 ¼” x 4 ½” and keep in order so it flows when card is open. 

Take your Cloud Cover card base and adhere the white piece measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” to the front of it, and then the Cloud Cover designer series paper piece measuring 4” x 5 ¼” to that.  Now adhere the back right panel of the z-fold Bubble Bath piece to the center of the card base.  Adhere the three white pieces to each panel of your pink z-fold.  Then one of each of the floral pieces to the front of each of the white pieces.  Adhere the white piece measuring 2 ¾” x 4” over the back floral piece of your card base. 

From a scrap piece of Cloud Cover use the square label with scallop edge from the Scalloped Blooms dies.  Adhere the white piece and then the small Cloud Cover designer series paper piece.  Use Peaceful Pine ink to stamp the 3-flower stems (I did stamp off so they were not so dark), Daffodil Delight ink to stamp the three flowers and Berry Burst ink (stamped off) for the flower centers and use the dies to cut them out.  Build the flower to the left side of your label.  Use the tag die from the Scalloped Blooms dies and cut out a white tag, stamp the “thanks” stamp from the Flowering Meadows and stamp off and then stamp on the label.  Then take a piece of Peaceful Pine Bordered Ribbon, feed it through the whole of your tag folded half and use a piece of white twine to wrap around the ribbon and tie into a bow.  Adhere the tag slightly over your flowers to the right side of your label.  Adhere the label to the front of your card in the lower center of the front panel. 

Take the “you always make me smile”  stamp from the Flowering Meadows stamp set and stamp (stamped off) in Peaceful Pine ink along the left side of your inside label. 

What a beautiful card to tell someone they are special to you.

Moonlit Flora Amazing Friend Moth Double Z-Fold Card

I love this Moonlit Flora designer series paper from Stampin’ Up and I have wanted to do something to highlight the green moth so this is the design I came up with to do that.  A double Z-fold card with the Moonlit Flora designer series paper and the Fern & Flora stamp set and dies. 

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

  • Secret Sea card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)

  • Secret Sea ink (2025 – 2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

For you card base cut a piece of Secret Sea card stock  7 ½” x 10 ¼”  and score at 4 ¼” and 7 ¼”, then cut 2” off the bottom to make a 5 ½” x 10 ¼” card base.  From white card stock cut the following:

  • One 1 7/8” x 4 1/8”
  • Two 1 7/8” x 2 7/8”
  • Two 2 7/8” x 5 3/8”
  • One 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”
  • One 1 ½” x 2 ½”

Take the Moonlit Flora designer series paper and find the firms piece with the white moths and large green moth and the one with the Secret Sea diamond shapes.  Cut out the large moth.  Cut the white moth paper into three sections with the first two measuring 2 ¾” x 5 ¼” and the last section to 4” x 5 ¼”.  From the Secret Sea blue diamond paper cut one piece to 1 ¾” x 4” and two to 1 ¾” x 2 ¾”.  Fussy cut out the large green moth.

Take your scored card base with the large section of the right and fold the two sections to the right and then the last section to the left.  Adhere each white piece to each section and then your fern pieces to the front of each white piece in order so they flow.  Do the same with the long strip except it goes the opposite direction with the large section as the top first piece and the short section to the back of the card.  Adhere the long section of the strip to the front short section of your card about 1” up from the bottom making sure to only put adhesive where needed.  Then adhere the short section to the back of your card base. 

With some white card stock stamp the “you’re an amazing friend” greeting in Secret Sea ink and then stamp the label stamp around it.  Then use the label die to cut it out.  Adhere to the front left side of the blue diamond paper on the strip using pop dots.  Then adhere the large moth you cut out with pop dots overlaying on your label.  Ad a few of the Secret Sea embellishments from the Dewdrops Embellishments around your moth and label area. 

Adhere the last smallest white piece to the middle section of the strip. 

I really wanted to use the large green moth and this card layout makes it the star, love the way it turned out.

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.

Adhere the black textured designer series paper to the white card base and the white textured designer series paper to the black card stock.  One the large portion of the black card stock piece, put adhesive to about one inch of the back of the big portion and center and adhere to the small section of the White card base with the black textured paper.  Fold the black piece toward the front and put adhesive on the back and while still folded fold the White card base onto the black to adhere together. 

Take the small White cards stock piece you cut to 1 3/8” x 2 7/8” with your Basic Black ink stamp the “Thanks so much” greeting toward the top.  Adhere this in the center of the white textured inside panel.  Stamp the “I appreciate your thoughtfulness” greeting on a spare piece of White card stock and cut out with your smaller label die, then cut out the larger label die with the Black card stock.  Adhere the white label to the center of the black label and adhere the black label to the front center of the white textured front panel. 

Cut two leaves from the Memorable Blooms leaf die and one black one.  Adhere one of the white leaves to the left side of the card and layer the black one off-set over the white one.  Cut the second white leaves to a shorter length and adhere long ways below the label. 

Give this diverse black and white double z-fold thank you card to let someone know you appreciate their thoughtfulness and them.
