Today I’m sharing another project from July’s Stamp Club meeting. You can see the first one here. Today’s project is a Z-Fold card. When it first comes out of the envelope, it looks like this:
Then when it is opened, it looks like this:
Here is a top view:
Here’s how we did it:
Cut a piece of Soft Sky card stock @ 4-1/4 x 11”. Cut another piece @ 2-1/8” x 11”. Score both pieces along the long side at 2-3/4” and at 5-1/2”. Flip the 2-1/8″ around to the other end. The taller piece will have an extra score line on the left and the shorter piece will have an extra score line on the right. See photos above.
Cut a piece of Very Vanilla card stock @ 2-1/2” x 1-7/8”.
Cut the following pieces of the By The Shore Designer Series Paper. Be sure to keep the patterns going in the right direction.
- water design: 1 piece @ 5-1/4” wide x 4” tall, and 2 pieces @ 2-1/2” wide x 4” tall.
- fish design: 1 piece @ 2-1/2” wide x 1-7/8” tall, and 1 piece @ 5-1/4” wide x 1-7/8” tall.
Stamp sentiment in Dapper Denim on the large water DSP as shown.
Stamp kelp in Calypso Coral on the water DSP pieces as shown. We stamped around the sentiment, but I think you could stamp over it, since the Dapper Denim ink is so much darker than the Calypso Coral.
Stamp three starfish in Calypso Coral onto the Very Vanilla piece. This is where your hand written message will go.
Stamp the anchor and the ship’s wheel in Early Expresso near the bottom of the 2 pieces of water DSP as shown.
Stamp three fish in Dapper Denim on an extra piece of Very Vanilla card stock. Use your Paper Snips to cut them out. We glued on the center one, since it is inside the card when it’s closed. The other two are attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Now glue all the small pieces to the two Soft Sky card stock pieces. Then glue the 2-/18″ tall piece to the 4-1/4″ tall piece, only gluing in the two bottom corner areas. You can see where they are attached in the top view above.
It looks much more complicated than it really is. I hope my directions are easy to follow. If you have any questions at all, please let me know!

I loved making this card! The Seaside Shore stamp set, By The Shore DSP, and color palette is so fun! Candy thanks for posting the directions so I can (hopefully) recreate this cute card on my own sometime.
Hate it that I missed Stamp Club and the opportunity to make this gorgeous card.
