Foiled Valentine’s Day Z-Fold Card (and a few variations)

Z-fold cards display beautifully and are easy to make.  To create an A2 size z-fold card base, simply score an 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ panel at 4 1/4″ and 2 1/8″ and fold like a Z.  Z-fold cards fold flat for mailing, and this one (with these dimensions) fits in an A2 size envvelope.

The Valentine’s Day greeting I used is a digital clip art image I found at clipground.com, and the background pattern (part of a Valentine’s Digital Paper Pack) is from an Etsy shop called  Printkits Designs.  After printing both with my laser printer on white card stock, the panels were foiled with Gina K Designs Red Velvet fancy foil and my  Mini Minc foil applicator.

One of the great things about using digital images is that they can be sized to fit any project.

Here are a few simple variations:

The Mod Squad Challenge this week is called “Foiled Fun” where we are encouraged to use foiling on our cards.  (Sadly, this site is no longer active.)
