Welcome to the September, 2024 SU! Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop! Each month, a group of demos share fun fold cards for a blog hop. I always learn something new and thoroughly enjoy seeing the creations of the other demos. We hope that you will use the line-up below to hop along with us.

Here’s my Mediterranean Blooms Suite z-fold card:

As always with fun folds, I will be uploading this to the Creative Creases Challenge. You can see my other Mediterranean Blooms fun fold card here.

Measurements:

• The basic card is a z-fold card so the base measures 5-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches, scored at 2-1/8 and 4-1/4 inches
• The Citrus Blooms DSP for the front flap measures 2 by 4-1/8 inches
• Trim another piece of the same DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
• Then, punch a 1-inch circle of coordinating DSP and run it through your XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
• Trim two pieces of Old Olive and one piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock to 4-1/4 by 5-1/2 inches
• Trim a piece of white cardstock to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches
• You will need a piece of the Citrus Blooms DSP to crop the front swag of oranges
  • Don’t you just LOVE when the coordinating dies work with the DSP?

Cropping, Stamping, & Assembly:

• Unless otherwise noted, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere pieces together, especially since this card will already be bulky
• After stamping the sentiment from the Citrus Blooms stamp set in black ink, crop it using the smallest circle die
• Emboss the Daffodil Delight and one of the Old Olive cardstock pieces using the exposed brick embossing folder
• Center and then crop the large outline die on the embossed Old Olive cardstock
• Do the same with the embossed Daffodil Delight cardstock
• Using the large outline die and the inside leafy die, crop both on the remaining Old Olive cardstock
• Crop the large orange and leafy piece of DSP using the coordinating die
• Stamp the single orange and leaves using Daffodil Delight ink in the center of the white cardstock
• Stamp the sentiment in the center of the white cardstock using Tuxedo Black ink
• Adhere the embossed and cropped Old Olive cardstock to the white cardstock, then adhere those pieces to the inside of the card
• Adhere the Daffodil Delight and Old Olive leafy cropped pieces together
• Add the large orange and leafy cropped DSP to the center of the Daffodil Delight/Old Olive front
• Adhere the DSP to the front flap of the card
• Center the cropped front so that it will line up with the cropped inside of the card
• Adhere the cropped front to front flap of the card
  • HINT:  It is very important that you only adhere the left of the front of the cropped piece to the front flap.  
• Add the coordinating Daffodil Delight opal rounds to the centers of the orange blooms
• I adhered a piece of the retired faux suede ribbon under the circle sentiment using tear & tape, mainly because I wanted something minor to pick up the Early Expresso branches
• Add dimensionals to the back of the sentiment circle and adhere
• With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set
