Autumn Goodness Special Fold

 

I designed a Z fold card for a fall swap and then made another five. 

I started with a Cajun Craze base cut 4 1/4" by 11 and then scored at 

2 3/4' and 5 1/2".

I then a cut panels of Early Espresso- two 2 1/2" by 4' and 4" by 5 1/4".

I cut two strips of designer paper from the Gilded Autumn DSP cut 1/4' shorter

1/4" smaller than the Early Espresso card stock. 

I then cut the Very Vanilla piece 3" by 9 3/4" and scored at 2 3/4" 

and 5 1/2". I stamped the sentiment from the Autumn Goodness set

in Cajun Craze ink on the front panel and the splash stamp from set.

I then stamped the flowers and the pumpkins on Very Vanilla

in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them with 

Stampin Blends markers. 

I stamped the wheelbarrow in Early Espresso on Crumb Cake card stock.

I cut all these with the matching dies called Autumn Wheelbarrow dies. 

I cut the wheel from copper foil and the fence from Early Espresso. 

I had fun making these special fold cards!

Hope you have a wonderful Monday and
