Z-Fold Easel Fan Card with Floral Delight Suite & Measurement

 Thank you so much for joining me today for Fun Fold Friday! It was such a joy to create a Z-Fold Easel Fan Card using the beautiful Floral Delight Suite. I had so much fun designing this card and showcasing the versatility of this stunning suite.

I hope you enjoyed the process and feel inspired to create your own version. As always, I love seeing the measurements are below 

Directions for Creating a Z-Fold Easel Fan Card:

Materials Needed:

• Cardstock: Two pieces of 4 1/4” x 11”

• Designer Series Paper (DSP):

• One piece 4” x 5 1/4”

• One piece 2 1/2” x 4”

• One piece 4” x 4”

• Basic White Cardstock: One piece 4” x 5 1/4”

• Sentiments, die-cuts, and embellishments (e.g., flowers, trinkets, bow)

• Scoring tool, adhesive, and scissors

Steps to Create the Card:

1. Create the Base:

• Take one piece of 4 1/4” x 11” cardstock and score it in half at 5 1/2”.

• Take the second piece of 4 1/4” x 11” cardstock and score it at 2 3/4” and 5 1/2” to create

a Z-fold.

2. Assemble the Card:

• Fold both pieces of cardstock on the score lines.

• Adhere the 2 3/4” panel of the Z-fold piece to the front of the base card, aligning the folds

to create a double-layer Z-fold card.

3. Add Designer Series Paper Layers:

• Attach the 4” x 5 1/4” DSP to the middle panel of the Z-fold card.

• Attach the 2 1/2” x 4” DSP to the front panel of the Z-fold card.

4. Add a White Panel:

• Adhere the 4” x 5 1/4” white cardstock to the back panel for your stamped sentiment or

message.

5. Create the Fan Element:

• Take the 4” x 4” DSP and score it at 1/2” intervals across the entire piece.

• Accordion-fold along the score lines to create a fan shape.

• Adhere one edge of the fan to the 2 3/4” Z-fold panel, ensuring the fan opens and adds

dimension.

6. Decorate the Card:

• Add a sentiment and images to the front panel and tie a bow over the fan for an elegant

touch.

• Embellish the middle panel with die-cuts of flowers and another sentiment.

• Finish off the design by adding trinkets or small embellishments for a polished look.

Your Z-fold fan card is now complete, ready to impress with its unique fold and decorative layers!
