Welcome back to the bi-weekly Cardz 4 Galz challenge #264. It’s my turn to host this edition of our bi-weekly challenge, and I chose A Cute Christmas for the theme. When you finish here, please visit the challenge site to see what the rest of the design team members created. Then, don’t forget to upload your creations to our gallery. We look forward to seeing your creations there!

Here are my two cards:

Here goes with all the additional challenge for which these cards qualify.

As always with a fun fold card, I will be adding this to the Creative Creases Challenge where the theme is always Anything Goes with a Fun Fold.

I’m also going to upload this card to the Critter Crazy Challenge . I fussy cut both the penguin and the polar bear from the retired Penguin Playmates DSP (designer series paper).

These cards also qualify for Thing 1’s recipe in the the Double Trouble Challenge #205. My three colors for the penguin card are Fresh Freesia, Misty Moonlight, and Soft Sea Foam. I used Fresh Freesia, Shaded Spruce, and the retired Just Jade for the Polar Bear card. Both cards have more than 2 layers, and they each have one fussy cut image. Three colors – check. Two layers – check. One image – check.

In addition, since I used leftover pieces for all the white cardstock elements of the card, I am also entering it in the Snippets Playground Challenge #520.

I have enough of two patterns of DSP to make two more of these cards, if I am careful when trimming. Then, I will be down to just using strips. Here’s a picture of some of the snippets of this DSP that I have left:

The Modified Z-fold Fun Fold Card:

I’ve already posted a card using this fold for the October, 2025 Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop, which you can see here.

Of course, I made a template so I can easily recreate the card. Instead of using the Everyday Arches dies, I used the Textured Note die set.

Here’s the template:

• The circle on the penguin card and sentiment banners were cropped using dies from the Stylish Shapes die set
  • The Fresh Freesia die under the Misty Moonlight banner was cropped using the same die, which I cut in half and adhered for a mat of sorts
• I cropped the snowflakes from the retired Stitched Snowflakes dies, then lightly covered them with clear Wink of Stella for just a touch of sparkle
• I added dimensionals under the polar bear and sentiment and the penguin and sentiment
• Since these cards already have multiple layers, I adhered the rest of the pieces using multipurpose liquid glue

Thank you for stopping by today!

Have a Peachy Day!
