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. -

 

Folds flat and fits inside a standard (C6) card size envelope -

 

Thanks for stopping by,

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.

CASEing the Catty #85 - For Babies + Kids

Welcome to the latest CASEing the Catty Blog Hop. The Design Team exclusively use SU products for their CTC projects. We CASE (copy and share everything) or use a sketch/layout, colour combo, embellishment, to name a few examples, as a springboard for our own creations.

I'm so glad you've joined the hop.  If you get lost along the way, just click on the banner below to take you to our home blog where you will see a list of participants for this round -

This week we are CASEing projects from the For Babies + Kids (pages 56-65) section of the Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue -

My project for CTC #85 would have to be one of the easiest cards I've ever made.  I've used the cute images from the Made with Love Stamp Set (page 59) ...

... and CASED the card from page 62  -

          

The layout was changed from landscape to portrait, I inked up a different stamp set to the one featured in the catty and the colours were switched for a baby boy card.

I hope you are enjoying the projects so far. You can hop back to Monique Fielder or onward to Rachel Palmieri -

 

Every month we have a challenge link up where you can join in the fun too.  The link below will take you to our July challenge -
