The Making

Anne has been kind enough to provide us with list of step-by-step instructions on how to create this amazing Fun Z Fold Greeting Card.

1. Fold large pieces of Cherry Cobbler to create z folds, crease folds well, and set aside.
2. Using Shaded Spruce ink, stamp smallest tree image randomly on largest piece of Whisper White (stamp off to create lighter tree) and attach to largest piece of Cherry Cobbler CS.
3. On 3” x 3 ½” of Whisper White CS, using Shaded Spruce ink, stamp smallest tree image. Using Daffodil Delight ink, stamp star on top of tree and apply small amount of Wink of Stella to star. Using Cherry Cobbler ink, stamp sentiment to left of tree and adhere this piece to right side of smaller Cherry Cobbler piece.
4. Adhere DSP layers to each piece of Cherry Cobbler CS as shown.
5. Attach the two pieces of Cherry Cobbler together putting adhesive ONLY on each end so card will fold properly.
6. Using Cherry Cobbler ink, stamp “merry christmoose” onto right bottom corner of remaining Whisper White CS and adhere to remaining piece of Cherry Cobbler.
7. Using outline moose image and Early Espresso ink, stamp onto Soft Suede CS. Using solid moose image and Soft Suede ink, stamp onto outline image and punch out using moose punch.
8. Adhere moose image to card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
9. Adhere 3 rhinestone jewels onto piece from #8. You’re Done!
