A Gift from the Garden - Pop-Up, Z-Fold, Card in a Box

Am I enjoying my holiday break or what?!  I have just discovered my favourite fancy fold ever and have called it a Pop-Up, Z-Fold, Card in a Box (basically a Z-fold with inserts).

1.  Stampin' Royalty have a Fancy Folds Challenge this week so I thought I would play along.  The DT have some amazing examples of fancy folds on their challenge site which I will definitely need to return to and explore a little further :)

 Thanks!

 Card folds flat and fits in a standard size (C6 envelope)

2.  Another challenge blog that I love to support is SUO Challenges; this week their challenge is titled, Delight in Nature.  I get a real buzz out of inking up the Gift from the Garden stamp set and creating little nature scenes and when you team it up with the gorgeous Serene Scenery DSP, it is a match made in 'heaven'.

After much deliberation I chose this soft colour combo and made another planter box card as there were a few pre-cut bits left over from my last class.

Pop-Up, Z-Fold, Card in a Box

Hi there.  I've been eying off some great examples of Z-fold, pop-up cards on Pinterest and thought it would be fun to make one.  I tweaked the basic design a little by adding some inserts; the ones you use in card-in-a-box style cards.  So I've called my take on this fun fold, a Pop-Up, Z-Fold, Card in a Box! - It's a crate full of summer strawberries with some home-made strawberry jam sitting on the kitchen bench.

Summer Strawberries

 

This card was made for a dear friend's birthday and I'm also entering it into two card challenges -

JAI #318 - "Just Add S"

  

S is for ... strawberries, strawberry jam, straw and summer!

Thanks, JAI!

 

and ...

 JUGs #350 - Word Week

 

Here's a bird's eye view before I added all the stamped strawberries etc. -

Please note that this is the original card for this type of fold. I came up with the idea of adding the card inserts to a z-fold. A very similar card (with cherries) appeared as a cutting file a few days after this post was published! Now there are kits and copies galore out there. Thank you for supporting this small business owner by purchasing the original tutorial. I appreciate it very much. Please note that you can now find me at www.addinktivedesigns.com 

PS:  A TUTORIAL (PDF) is now available to purchase for $3.50 (AUD).  Copies may be printed out for stamp classes etc. Measurements in inches.
