This is another one of those great cards to have handy at all times . . .just in case! The Double Z fold card is super easy to make and can be decorated in so many ways!
Â
I learned this by accident when I just happened to make a ton of these one day. I expected to sell them but ultimately never got around to it! So there they were, a stack of lonely Double Z fold cards laying next to their envelopes in cellophane bags—ready for someone. Not sure who.
Then it Started Happening
A birthday came up! I had a card! A baby shower? Covered! One event after another came into my life and I didn’t have to rush into my craft room to try to come up with something in the nick of time. I was ready before I even knew I was ready! And that is always a great feeling!
Â
Fun times. And lesson learned!
How to Make the Double Z Fold Card
For the Foundation
Get 2 pieces of cardstock measuring 4”x11” and 2”x11”
For the 4”x11” piece – score at 2 ¾” and 5 ½”
For the 2”x11” piece – score at 5 ¼” and 8”
Now assemble it as shown in the picture below
Let’s Decorate
-
Using various craft drops and gems is a great option
-
Use the entire front of the card as your decorative canvas
-
Leave a section on the back for your personalized greeting
Although I make cards very regularly, it’s been great having this collection as my go-to card style. I hope you give this a try and see what you think! Enjoy!
