Fancy Folds/Shapes at Fussy and Fancy

A new challenge begins today at the

Fussy and Fancy blog and the lovely Beth is our hostess.

Beth has chosen Fancy Folds or Shaped cards as the theme.

I certainly had a plan for this challenge,

a plan that I just didn't have the time for...sigh.

So I went with a super 'Easy Z Fold' card, 

or maybe it should be called a 'half Z' lol!

To make this card, it is just a regular A2 card, with the front

folding back on itself, a 2 1/2" x 5" panel is added to the front.

On the inside you ad a slightly larger panel

and just line it up with your front panel with a bit of edge showing

so when it is closed you just see a bit showing..easy.

One thing I love about the FAF challenge is that I get to use whatever supplies

I have as long as it fits the theme.

I try to use things up, or pre-cut things or things that are just sitting on my desk.

For this card I used a strip of 'Dazzles' for the front giving a lot of metallic sparkle.

I embossed the front panel, then added

a few die cut flower vines

and white and silver flowers from my stash

(and from my friend Terri) and glittery brads for the centers.

A silver Dazzle butterfly was added to black card stock,

then fussy cut out.

The inside was matted with black card stock (as mentioned above)

and a 2 1/2" x 5 white card stock stamped with a sentiment.

One of the same flower vines was adhered along the inside panel.

Here is the actual 'Z' shape of the card.

Now make sure and pop on over to the

Fussy and Fancy challenge blog and see all the beautiful inspiration there!
