Z Fold & Pop Up Cards Tutorial

By Teresa Cruz aka Andor Violeta

“Hi everyone!

Are you ready to play with Autumn colors? i already dive into the amazing colors of the season, with the beautiful collection Autumn Greetings, and i prepared two Z – Fold Cards with a little surprise pop up. I only used some papers from the 12*12 paper pack collection and the stickers. It was a challenge, because i do love so much everything that graphic 45 create as embellishments for each collections, but maybe you don’t have it all, and you still can create amazing things.

Let’s see some photos and in the end of this post you have my full video tutorial!

As you can see these are two Z fold cards made with the same technique, but folding in opposite directions. You also can see how amazing is to have the journaling cards ready to cut inside the paper pack collection, they are amazing as focal points, for cards, album pages, and even memory planners, or project life. You have two size cards and many options do combine and use them!!

And look how i also used the Silicone Craft Mat 24” * 16” on the background, to take the photos of my cards. This silicone craft mat is very helpful and also beautiful.

The space created by the fold of this cards it’s a good spot to add some interest and interactive pop-up

You can also use this kind of cards as album pages, and add photos on the different spaces on this cards, from and back.

This was so fun to put together, I hope you find this inspiring. Enjoy the full tutorial I prepared for you and don’t forget to share with us your creations!!
