How to Make a Birthday Double Z Fold Card

How to Make a Birthday Double Z Fold Card – Bold Bouquet – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln – UK

I love the bright, spring feel of this card. It features Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party, these colours are retiring at the end of April. I will miss them. This week on my blog I am featuring all the retiring in-colours as a final goodbye.

This double z-fold card is easy to make. I’ve adjusted the measurements slightly so it is slightly smaller than a standard A6 card. This makes the scoring easier. The card below features the third retiring colour, Orchid Oasis.

measurements

Tahitian Tide / Orchid Oasis Cardstock :
- 14.85cm X 20cm. Score on the 20cm side at 10cm & 15cm

How to Create a Hot Air Balloon Spinner Card

How to Create a Hot Air Balloon Spinner Card – Hot Air Balloon – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

Spinner cards are such fun. You do need to watch the video to get the full effect. You can find the link below. This card features the Hot Air Balloon bundle. It is a two-step stamp which allows me to mimic the stripey paper in the design of the hot air balloon.

There are two sizes of balloons included in this set. I’ve used the smaller one here. You can also die-cut your balloons instead of stamping them first.

Make a Tri Fold Birthday Card with a Flap Opening

Make a Tri Fold Birthday Card with a Flap Opening – Around The Bend Dies – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I created this decorative flap using the Around the Bend Dies. I used the scallop border die to cut the cardbase itself. Then, I used this decorative border die with Basic White cardstock to create this lacy pattern. I love the effect.

The flowers are fussy cut from the Delightfully Eclectic designer series paper (DSP). I added some gold sequins to give the flower centres some sparkle.

How to Make a Horizontal Z-Fold Card

How to Make a Horizontal Z-Fold Card – Darling Details – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I love making z fold cards. They are so easy to make. This is a double z fold horizontal card. The one above is Pretty Peacock and Coastal Cabana and below is Calypso Coral. Which do you prefer?

The little stamped hearts are from the set called Phrases for All. They aren’t the main focus of the set but are so useful. Sometimes I think we ignore the smaller stamps in the set as they don’t always appear to “sing” the loudest.

The paper is delightlfully eclectic. I love the swans and these berries above. So cute. You can see the image below why its called a double z fold card.

How to Make an Easter Bunny Gatefold Card

How to Make an Easter Bunny Gatefold Card – Easter Bunny – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I absolutely love this card. It’s so cute. I don’t normally make Easter cards but I can’t seem to stay away from this Easter Bunny stamp set with its matching punch.

The colours here are bright and remind me of Spring. The bunny this time is grey where as before I left him white. All the colouring was done with the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. My Smoky Slate is running low but it has lasted quite a number of years. I’m going to try and refill it with reinker and rubbing alcohol. If I’m successful I’ll let you know.

Normally I don’t decorate my inserts but I have done with one. It really lifts the card and takes it to the next level. I think I will try harder to decorate my inserts in the future.

Granny Apple Green / Balmy Blue Cardstock – To make the card base take an A4 sheet and cut at 10.5cm on the short side. Then score on the long side at 7.4cm from either end.

Make a Horizontal Gatefold Card – Adorable Owls – Stampin’ Blends – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love how this card turned out. These little owls are so cute. They are from the Adorable Owls stamp set, a freebie during Sale-a-bration. They were made for colouring. I had a relaxing time colouring using my Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. Recently I’ve changed my colouring method. I tend to go from light to dark in each colour instead of the other way around as I did before.
