Meandering Meadows is a new designer paper, available November 7th in Online Exclusives. It was hard to choose which of the gorgeous landscapes to use on today’s sneak peek. I decided on the one you see, on my Double Z Fun Fold card.
First, I cut a piece of 8 1/2″ X 11″ Balmy Blue 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 Meandering Meadows DSP, 2 5/8″ X 4 1/8″. I cut a second piece of the same landscape for the larger panel, 5 3/8″ X 4 1/8″.
Meandering Meadows Fun Fold
After gluing the panels, I cut a band for the bottom from Balmy Blue Cardstock, 11″ X 1 1/4,” scored at 5 1/2″ and 2 3/4″. The band was decorated with three strips of Meandering Meadow 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″.
See the cute fence? This beautiful designer paper coordinates with the Garden Meadow Bundle (stamp set and dies), also available November 7th. I cut the fence from Balmy Blue Cardstock, and glued the bottom edge to the band, as shown.
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.
“You’re wonderful. You’re loved. You matter.” and “you can do amazing things,” are from the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set. I stamped the sentiments in Night Of Navy Ink on Basic White Cardstock, used Wonderful Thoughts Dies for cutting, and glued them in place.
This Double Z Fun Fold card fits nicely inside our Medium Envelopes.
