Looking for a not so ordinary card for a special friend? How about this Double Z fold hello card? It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!
This week I have the honor of being the host for our monthly theme challenge. I selected Fun and Fancy Folds. I went with an old favorite, a double Z fold card. I can’t wait to see what you create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
I suffer from “fun fold phobia”. I see a fun fold, and think to myself, “That’s too hard! I could never do that!” But the double Z fold isn’t difficult at all!
It’s just a matter of scoring. To make the task easier, I used 12″ x 12″ 2019-2021 In Color cardstock (Item #149703). This is a great fold for showcasing the luscious Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper. What really sets this card off are the gold accents from the Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty Paper. Of course, a few Gilded Gems and a triple bow both help to up the WOW factor. All of the details, including paper measurements, can be found in the FREE pdf tutorial.
