A2-sized Z-fold cards - March Class 1

Today's class was about making true Z-fold cards in an A2 size - NOT fold-back cards, but cards where all three panels are the same width.  To make the card bases, I needed cardstock that was larger than 12".  You can see what I did - including how to cut something that's a bit longer than 12 x 12 - in this video. 

These projects were made using the Florals in Bloom designer series paper (DSP), as well as a couple of retired papers from packs we’ve used previously (Floral Impressions, Otterly Adorable)

You can see closeups of the cards we made below.

Modifying a Scrapbooking Workshop Kit

Today I've got several scrapbook spreads that started with this Scrapbooking Workshop Kit from Stampin' Up! called Weekend Adventures.  It includes instructions for creating these three double-page spreads about being in the "great outdoors":

I chose to adapt this kit to create several pages with different themes.  I have two videos that show what I did.  Weekend Adventures Part 1 covers the basic modifications I made and why - along with cutting the papers and arranging the layouts.  Weekend Adventures Part 2 covers embellishing and finishing.  This includes a bit at the end of the video about how to add brochures or other large memorabilia to your page without taking up a bunch of space.

 

 

This post shows my finished pages.
