Z Fold Birthday Card using Stampin' Up! Products UK Seaside Shore Nautical Handmade Card

Today, I have another version of the Z Fold Card.
Last time, I made a Christmas Card, and this time I am making a Birthday Card that was designed for one of my brothers who is moving home, and is into his scuber diving BIG TIME lol. He even teaches and is trained as a Rescue Diver too.

As this is his main interest, I always try to make nautical themed cards for him.



So Today I am sharing with you an easy Z fold Card
I found the original Template on Patty Stamps, and added the Metric Measurements, since most of us over the age of 50, we are more familiar with metric measurements, rather than  than imperial. That includes me ha ha

We May Be in the Run Up to Christmas, but people still have Birthdays and other special occasions at this time of year

And so today I am sharing with you a Birthday Card I made for my Grandson &  I hope you enjoy it. 
Now I,  recently posted a Festive Version of  this Z Fold Card, and I also  published a Video on You Tube


The basic Construction of the card is identical, and the only real difference is the topper

One Sheet Wonder Better Together, Blooms & Bliss with a lovely Lace Accent using Stampin' Up! Products

Before I get on with today's project I have some great news for UK Crafters
I have spent ages today, re-organising my general Website that I sell my retired Stampin' Up! Stamp Sets & other Retired Stampin Up Products from from.
It is now much easier to navigate the items for sale from the main pages, and a better categorization of the different types of stamp sets.

& P&P is FREE!!



Well, you know that I told you that your catalogues were on their way?
Well as I was getting ready to main everything, labels and stamps attached, and I realised I have again managed to order the German version of the catalogues

To say the air in the house was blue, was an understatement!
So I ordered more,and you should have received them by the time you read this

If you haven't received one, and would like one, please contact me  on the link below, and send me  your name & address, & let me know if you would like a copy of the Annual Catalogue too.



I  blog for much too long, but I have been very unwell with severe cluster migraines that have been debilitating. So I just had to take some time out to re-group my energy. I am considering getting an eaar piercing to see if that reduces the severity & frequency of the migraines. If you have had this done, do let me know if it has been successful?

Finally managed to get a little time in my workshop, and made these one sheet wonder cards using the following Stampin' Up! Products:
 managed to do some quick one sheet wonder cards using some Thick Whisper White Cardstock  

For the Card Bases, I used Thick Whisper White Cardstock

BLOOMS & BLISS
Designer Series Paper
From Stampin' Up!

The sentiments are from a combination of the 

BIRTHDAY BLOOMS stamp set
The BETTER TOGETHER stamp set.

I love the card below. I used the  Lovely Lace Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and a scrap of Mint Macaron Cardstock. After Embossing the panel, I then used the best fitting scallop circle from the Layering Circles Framelits Dies to die cut the Lacey circle.


I think this Designer Series Paper Pack is beautiful, and you will notice that I have managed to pop in a Christmas Card or two
Below I used the Layering Circles to create the layered labels



Here I used the Petal Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder as both a stamp set and an embossing folder, by inking up the Embossing Folder before placing the Cardstock inside, then ran it through my Big Shot using the new Big Shot Platform

You will also notice how well the labels mat with one another. Below I used the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies & Added some contrast with the Mint Macaron Ribbon

Petal Burst Dry Embossed Better Together Handmade Sympathy Card using Stampin' Up! Products

Welcome back everyone
I have had a lovely, relaxing, extended Summer Break after a very busy time with our Small Animal Boarding Service.
I have now got to play catch up  and get some video's recorded, so I have a busy wee ahead.
And today I am sending out the new Stampin Up! Autumn/Winter Seasonal Catalogue. So if you are on my customer list, you will be receiving a free card kit along with your catalogue .... So watch out for the Fancy Fold Card Tutorial on my YouTube Channel (and on here) for the accompanying Tutorial.

But first, I am sharing the first of a few sympathy cards I have had to make this past week
One was for a close friend, and the other is closer to home.
I always find it emotional to make these cards but try to bring a little support from the stamps I use.
