Welcome to the April Creative Crafters Challenge #100, where the theme is always Anything Goes. Challenge # 100! That’s 100 months of gorgeous creations from our design team and all the gallery submissions! Thank you for playing along with us!

When you finish here, please visit our challenge site to see what the rest of the very talented design team members created. Then, don’t forget to upload your creations to our gallery. We look forward to seeing your creations there!

Here’s my Z-fold Father’s Day card:

I absolutely love fun fold cards, but I think one of my favorites is a Z-fold card! This 6″ by 6″ inch Beautiful Gallery DSP (designer series paper) is especially perfect for this card because it lends itself to trimming to a 4 inch and a 2 inch wide piece.

It’s just a given that fun fold cards also post to the Creative Creases Challenge. Debbie Mageed at Secret Stamper coordinates the challenge, and I’m honored to be on the design team. Hopefully, you will be inspired to upload your own fun fold project to the challenge!

Measurements:

The Secret Sea base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 2-1/8 and 4-1/4 inches
Trim another piece of Secret Sea to 4-1/4 by 5-1/2 inches for the front flap
Trim two pieces of Crumb Cake to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches, one for the front flap and one for the inside mat
Using the boat pattern of DSP, trim it down to 5-1/4 inches high
Then trim it down to a 4 inch and a 2 inch wide piece
Trim a Crumb Cake DSP (from the 6″ by 6″ Neutrals DSP) to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
Don’t forget to punch a 1-inch circle from coordinating DSP and run it through the XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal

What I Did:

I used multipurpose glue to adhere all the pieces together
Adhere one of the pieces of Crumb Cake cardstock to the 4-1/4 by 5-1/2 inch Secret Sea cardstock for the front of the card
Adhere the front piece to the front flap of the Z-fold card making sure to only add multipurpose liquid adhesive to the flap
- HINT: If you add adhesive to the whole front piece, you won’t be able to open the card
After wiping down the front piece of DSP with the embossing buddy, stamp the sentiment using VersaMark ink
Then cover the ink with copper embossing powder and heat set with your heat tool
After letting the DSP cool, adhere it to the Crumb Cake mat for the front of the card
Adhere the 2 inch wide piece of DSP to the Crumb Cake cardstock mat for the inside of the card
Wipe the inside piece of Crumb Cake cardstock down with the embossing buddy
Stamp the inside sentiment using VersaMark ink and cover it with the copper embossing powder
Heat set the embossing powder using your heat tool and let it cool for a minute to ensure that the powder is set
Adhere the Crumb Cake mat to the inside of the card

With that, I’d finished this very clean and simple Father’s Day coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Have a Peachy Day!
