Today’s card tutorial will give you all the details to make an extended book bind Z-fold card perfect for the guy in your life or an flying enthusiast!

Measurements:
BASE: Copper Clay CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 2 1/8″, 4 1/4″ and 5 1/2″
scraps for the plane dies
(1) 3 1/4″ x 4 1/4″
Boho Blue layer: 2″ x 4″
Basic White layers: (1) 3″ x 4″ and (1) 4″ square
scraps for the plane dies and banner
DSP: (2) 1″ x 4″ pieces

Score the base at 2 1/8″, 4 1/4″ and 5 1/2″
place glue between the score lines at 4 1/4″ and 5 1/2″ and secure making a book bind fold.

Stamp the industrial metal riveted stamp image in Night of Navy ink onto the Boho Blue layer. I stamped in opposite corners.

Adhere the Boho Blue CS layer to the inside middle panel.

Adhere the 4″ square to the back inside of the card base.

Adhere one of the DSP 1″ strips to the right hand side of the 4″ Basic White CS square.

I stamped the smaller airplane image and the You’re the Best Plane and Simple sentiment in Copper Clay ink to the inside Basic White layer.

Fold back the first panel towards the book bind panel on the left hand side of the card base.

Place Tear & Tape strips on the top of the layer that was turned to the left (this was the inside of the card but when it was folded back on itself it is now on the outside of the card base)

Adhere the Copper Clay layer with the left hand edges matching up to the panel with the Tear & Tape on it. This will extend the Z Fold.

Stamp the cloud image in Boho Blue ink onto the Basic White 3″ x 4″ layer and adhere to the extended Z fold Copper Clay layer just added to the card front.

Die cut the plane image in Copper Clay and Basic White and die cut in Copper Clay the propellers and the tail piece for the banner. Die cut the banner in Basic White CS and stamp in Night of Navy ink the to my friend sentiment.

Take the Paper Snips and cut a straight line from the V to 1/4″ – 1/8″ before the To word in the sentiment and cut a banner edge to shorten the die cut to the size of the sentiment.

Glue together the plane die cut pieces.

Adhere the propellor pieces to the nose of the die cut plane and add the tail piece to the banner.

Adhere the plane die cut to the card front. Make sure that the edges of the plane and the banner do not extend past the edges of the card when closed so it will fit into an envelope.

Add Industrial Trinkets to the card front.

This fun fold will stand on it’s own for display! How fun is this!!
