Stamp the sentiment on the inside of the Daffodil layer.

This Tall Z FOld is an easy fun fold to show off large sheets of gorgeous Designer Series Paper like the collection in the Meandering Meadows suite!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White (2) 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
Layer: Blueberry Bushel 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
DSP: (2) 4″ x 5 1/4″
Mechanism: 3″ x 11″ scored at 2″ and 6 1/2″
Inside White Layer: 2 7/8″ x 6 3/8″

Choose 2 designs of DSP from the Meandering Meadows paper pack. Cut each to 4″ x 5 1/4″.

Adhere the DSP to the Blueberry Bushel layer and those to the Basic White Layer.

Cut the Z Fold mechanism out of BlueBerry Bushel cardstock to 3″ x 11″. Score at 2″ and 6 1/2″ and fold into a Z.
Adhere the long side with the fold on the top to the center of the 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ triple layered base that you want for the bottom (save the nicer scene for the top layer, and it may be hard to choose because all of these papers are so pretty!)
Adhere the 2″ panel to the top layer making sure that the bottom and top layers match on all sides.
Adhere the inside white layer to the inside mechanism panel. Stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment and the flower image onto the white layer.
I added embellishments to the top layer but nothing else to let the beauty of the DSP shine all on it’s own!

This suite is now available in the online exclusives section of my Stampin’ Up! website!

Stamp something pretty today – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
