Z-Fold Autumn/Masculine Card (Rose Hill Stamp Camp)

Quite a few of my recent cards have had a distinctly autumn theme -- many of them also have a masculine feel.  To begin my series of these cards, I've chosen the card we made at my table this past Saturday at Rose Hill Stamp Camp -- a simple Z-fold card.

Note, the base card stock is cut lengthwise (11” x 4-1/4”) and is scored at 2-3/4” and 5-1/2” to create the panel on the front.  Here’s a quick shot of how the card looks when it’s open.

Materials

Stamp Set

·       * Rooted in Nature

Paper

·       * Early Espresso card stock (11” x 4-1/4”; about 3-3/4” x 2-3/4” for oval)

·       * Mossy Meadow card stock (5-1/4” x 4” for inside; 4” x 2-1/2” for front panel; about 3-3/8” x 2-1/2” for oval)

·       * Crumb Cake card stock (5” x 3-3/4” for inside; 3-3/4” x 2-1/4” for front panel)

·       * Very Vanilla card stock (3-1/2” x 2-1/4” for inside; about 3-1/2” x 2-1/2” for tree)

Ink

·       * Early Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pad (tree)

·       * Mossy Meadow Classic Stampin’ Pad (leaves on inside)

·       * Crumb Cake Classic Stampin’ Pad (embossing)

Accessories and Tools

·       * Big Shot Die Cutting Machine

·       * Nature's Roots Framelits Dies

·       * Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder

·       * Crumb Cake Thick Baker’s Twine (retired)

·       * Faceted Dots

·       * Adhesives: SNAIL; Tombow Liquid Glue; Glue Dot

NOTES:

1. To create the embossed look of this card, apply Crumb Cake ink to the bumpy side of the embossing folder before inserting the paper.  When it’s run through the Big Shot, both texture and color will be added at the same time!  When you’re finished, simply run the embossing folder under the water faucet for easy cleanup!
2. Adhere the ovals and tree together, and then apply adhesive only to one half of the back of the Early Espresso oval before adhering to left panel.  (If adhesive is applied to the entire back, the card will be glued shut.  OOPS!)
3. To hold twine in place, apply one rolled-up glue dot behind the knot.
4. With apologies – for this card I used retired Thick Baker’s Twine because I didn’t have enough of the current Linen Thread on hand to do the stamp camp where this card was made.  If using Linen Thread, I would wrap it around the card two or three times before tying the knot.
5. Nothing on this card is popped up with Dimensionals – the Z-fold design with added layers of card stock already creates a fairly thick card.
