Welcome to November! The All About Autumn Designer Paper has been in and out of stock more than any Stampin’ Up! item, since I’ve been a Demonstrator.  I finally got my hands on some, and, yes, it is gorgeous! Today, I’m showing off two of the patterns on a “Double Z Fun Fold Card.”

First, I cut a piece of 8 1/2″ X 11″ Early Espresso Cardstock in half, 4 1/4″ X 11″, and scored it at 2 3/4″ and 5 1/2″. You can use the other half to make a second card.

The two smaller panels were decorated with All About Autumn DSP, 2 5/8″ X 4 1/8″. I cut a second piece of a different landscape for the larger panel, 5 3/8″ X 4 1/8″.

After gluing the panels, I cut a band for the bottom from Early Espresso Cardstock, 11″ X 1 1/4,” scored at 5 1/2″ and 2 3/4″. The band was decorated with three strips of All About Autumn DSP,  which I had cut from the panel pieces. The long strip is 5 3/8″ X 1 1/8″, and the two shorter strips are 2 5/8″ X 1 1/8″. 

The branch was cut with a Meadow Die, also from All About Autumn DSP. I backed it with two layers of Early Espresso Cardstock, for sturdiness, before gluing it in place. I made sure not to put glue on the end that hangs over the edge.

The trickiest part of the Double-Z Fun Fold is fastening the band. It seems odd, but the long section of the band is glued to the short front section. I find it easiest to apply glue to the folded band, because this exposes only the part that should have glue. Then, fold the card while adhering the band in place. I suggest having a “dry” run before applying glue.

I was inspired by The Paper Players, and chose the middle row across: patterned paper, die-cut, sequin/enamel dots. Plus, I used brown and fall items.
