Canada Inks Up Blog Hop - Counting Sheep Z fold card


It's time for another Canada Inks Up! Team Blog Hop and the theme for today's hop is "Sale-a-Bration"!  I had fun making this Z-fold card featuring the Counting Sheet Stamp Set and Dies - both are available for free during Sale-a-Bration.  Place an order of $120 (before shipping and taxes in my Online Store) and you can get both the stamp set and dies!


This stamp set is so adorable and the dies are amazing!  I used the great fence rail die to cut out the detail for my Z-fold.

Instructions

  1. Cut Crumb Cake card stock 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2".
  2. Fold on the score lines - first on the 5 1/2" score line to form your card base and then fold the front flap back on the 2 3/4" score line.
  3. Cut 2 pieces of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper 2 1/2" x 4" and 1 piece 4" x 5 1/4"
  4. Adhere to the flaps using Stampin' Seal.
  5. Cut Crumb Cake card stock 1 1/4" x 11" and score at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2"
  6. Fold on the score lines like you did for the main card base.
  7. Adhere to the card base with the long side at the front and the "z fold" on the inside piece of the card.  Check out my YouTube video for help with this step.
  8. Cut out 4 fence rails using Die from Early Espresso card stock and adhere to the Crumb Cake piece using Multipurpose Liquid Glue
  9. Stamp 3 sheep using Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Basic White card stock.
  10. Colour using Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends
  11. Cut out using Dies
  12. Adhere to the card base.
  13. For the middle sheep, cut a piece of Window Sheet 1/2" x 3" and adhere sheep to the top.  Adhere the bottom behind the fence rail.
  14. Cut out balloon from Bermuda Bay card stock
  15. Adhere to sheep using a Glue Dot
  16. Stamp sentiment using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock.
  17. Cut out using Paper Snips
  18. Adhere to a scrap of Bermuda Bay card stock using Dimensionals and cut around leaving about an 1/8" of an inch border.
  19. Adhere to card base using Dimensionals.
  20. Adhere Pearls.
You can get all of the supplies I used for my card at the bottom of my post.
