2016badge-cucumberWelcome to the Pals Blog Hop for October 2016 -Wicked Fold. We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our new 2016 Blog Hop monthly themes.  This month our projects feature cards made using “Wicked Folds”. What is a “wicked” fold? It is anything other than the standard A2 card fold. We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below.  The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.

Jar of Love Double Z Fold Jackie Diediker StampinUp For my card today I am sharing a ‘Double Z-Fold Card’ which is so much fun to create! You might recall a Z-Fold card I created and shared here this past summer. This fold starts off with your typical A2 card, but you cut your 8 1/2″ x 11″ cardstock in half from top to bottom with the 11″ along the left side and you simply fold it in half. The “Z” part of this card is that you fold one half of the card back to the top seam again to create a “Z” shape with your cardstock. The “Double Z-Fold” card is the same premise, only you create two of these “Z” shapes and attach them together!Jar of Love Double Z Fold Jackie Diediker StampinUp 3The best thing about this type of card, is that the finished product ends up with this nice 3D feel to it. I decided to use the Everyday Jar Framelit Dies and the coordinating Jar of Love stamp set! I love the three different sizes you can use in this bundle and all the possibilities. While I know summer is ending and fall is upon us, I just want to hold on one more time to summer with this fun card! I love the sentiment ‘You Light Up My Life‘. It’s the perfect wording on a card you plan on sending to someone you care a lot about or who has made a difference in you life.
