Today’s blog post is all about a fun fold called the extended z fold. It’s a great card that shows off the beautiful Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper called Most Adorned 12″ x 12″ DSP.

Measurements:
BASE: Flirty Flamingo CS 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 1 1/4″ and 5 1/2″
DSP: 1″ x 4″, 1 1/2″ x 4″, 4″ square
scrap for sentiments

Fold card in half at 5 1/2″ score line. Fold the score line backwards at the 1 1/2″ score line.
Adhere the 1″ DSP to the 1 1/4″ flap.
In the first sample I used the brayer and colored the foiled side of the 1″ DSP.
Adhere the 1 1/2″ DSP to the left hand edge of the card leaving an even border around the top bottom and right hand edge.
Place tape on the inside of the front flap. Place the 4″ square of DSP on the left side of the score line – close the flap adhering the 4″ square to the backside of the flap.
Stamp a 1/4″ strip with the sentiment in Real Red ink. Rub the strip with a Blending Brush. Adhere it to the circle die from the Everyday Essentials and add Real Red card stock heart dies to the circle.
Adhere the sentiment piece hanging over the flap.
Adhere three Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots to the sentiment piece.
The DSP piece attached to the underside of the flap extends the card while it is open to over 14 inches but it still fits into a regular envelope when closed.

The Most Adorned DSP is FREE with every order of $50 subtotal – it contains a foiled side of gold and white and the other side features patterns of hearts and plaids in Flirty Flamingo and Real Red. So many possibilities in using every side! Here is a second version!

Happy Stampin’
