Paper Playtime Ch. # 48

Good morning everyone! It is time for another fun challenge at Paper Playtime. For Challenge # 48, we are making a Z-fold card with any themes and colors. This is my first time working with Z-fold card, but it is easy to make and is a fun card. The paper is cut at 4 1/4" x 11" and is scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2". When folded the size is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". Have you noticed my theme and colors! Needing a birthday card for one of my friends, yes, I am using a Red Hat Society theme!

Cricut cartridges:
Forever Young - Hat page 57 cut 3"; "ooh la la" is the emblem feature on page 57 and is cut 2 3/4"; Shoes page 60 cut 1 1/2";  Sunglasses page 47 cut 1/2".
Home Accents - Corner1 is cut 2 inches. This key is the first image on the 3rd row.
Cuttlebug: Swiss Dots - Hat
Red and Purple papers are Recollection. White is Colorbok.  For bling, I added a red gemstone and feather on the hat and a button with Memory Thread in the corner. Birthday Wishes is one of the $1.00 stamps from Michael's. Red ink is Colorbok.

We are happy to have Peachy Keen Stamps as our sponsor. The prize for this week's challenge is Pk-470 Happy New Year Assortment! Now it is your turn to play with us! We want to see your Z-Fold Cards!

Hope you enjoy my card!

Spring Birthday Card

Card is 6 1/2 x 5. It is white cardstock and I covered the base with a pretty spring looking patterned paper. Martha Stewart Layered Arches punch was used on the lower edge of the paper. I placed a small piece of green paper under the punched edge.

Needing a Spring birthday card, I used the Cuttlebug Happy Birthday embossing folder on the pink mat. Then I run the white mat through the same Cuttlebug folder trying to line it up with the words on the pink mat. I am pleased with the results of the embossing.

Cartridges:

Walk In My Garden - Rose cut  3 inches

Lacy Labels - White and Green mats cut at 4 inches. This is the last key on the keypad called "Hugs". I only used the mat cuts.

Home Accents - "Corner 1" cut 1 1/2 inches. Two of the cuts were cut using the flip function on my Expression.

Wild Card - inside sentiment - "Love and Joy to you" cut at 7 inches. Was unable to load the photo of the inside.

Martha Stewart inking, MS bow, and buttons in the corners complete the card.

Welcome to the Strawberry Patch

'
Good morning! Welcome to my new followers! I enjoyed playing with the sketches at RAQ'S 12/29/2010-01/04/2011 Sketch Challenge. The card is 6 1/2 X 5 inches based on sketch 2. I used Home Accents for the welcome sign. I have had the DCWV Berry Street Farmer's Market stack for over a year. Looking at the strawberry paper, I thought it will be perfect for my MIL's kitchen which is decorated in a strawberry theme. I am sure this will be on display if I can find an empty spot!!
Enjoy!
