The Z fold is a great fun fold that I find myself going back to a lot. There are many varieties of the fold and I enjoy the look it gives by creating a 3D effect. For this particular one, the 3D effect was created with trees and a snowflake frame from the Snowman Magic stamp bundle..

This set is a fun one too! There are so many little pieces to it that you can come up with endless possibilities. The down side, however, is that there are so many little pieces. If you up for the challenge, you should give this one a try.

The stamp bundle can be found on page 44 of the Jul-Dec 2022 Mini catalog.

  • Begin with a 5 ½” x 8 ½” piece of Pacific Point cardstock. Score it at 2 1/8” and 4 ¼” to form your card base.
  • Score a 2” x 8 ½” piece of Pacific Point cardstock at 2 1/8” and 4 ¼” to form your “Z” strip.

  • Layer and adhere the layering pieces to the card base and “Z” strip as shown using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (MLG).
  • Apply some MLG to the back side of the “Z” strip. Ensure that you only apply it no further than 2” from each end, and attach to the card.

Time to stamp

  • Stamp the following on a piece of Basic White cardstock; two snowmen, a bunny, and a top hat in Memento black ink, four arms in Crumb Cake ink, a bird in Balmy Blue ink, and a hat and scarf in Highland Heather ink. Color the noses, the bunnies ears, and the top hat with the following Stampin’ Blends; Flirty Flamingo, Pumpkin Pie, and Shaded Spruce.
  • Crop the images, a 3 ¾” x 4 ¾” piece of Basic White cardstock, three trees in Crumb Cake cardstock, and five evergreen trees in Shaded Spruce cardstock with the Snowman dies using your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine.
  • Adhere the arms, hats, and scarf to the snowmen using MLG.

Time to assemble

  • Adhere the die cut to the front of the card using MLG. Once again, ensure that you only apply adhesive to the section that will be on the “Z” strip and left panel.
