Festive Friday Week 6 – Elegant Z-Fold with Winter Meadow DSP

Welcome back to Festive Friday! This week, I’m featuring a beautiful Z-Fold Christmas card using the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Greeting of the Season Bundle—which is currently on the Last Chance List! ❄️ If you love this elegant holiday set, now is the time to grab it before it’s gone!

Let’s take a closer look at this week’s design! 🎄✨


The Card Design

Z-Fold cards are a fun and easy way to add dimension to your projects while keeping the design simple and elegant. The stunning watercolor prints in the Winter Meadow DSP set the perfect wintery backdrop, while the oval die-cut and Bough punch greenery adds a festive touch.

Card Highlights:

  • Stamp Set & Dies: Greetings of the Season Bundle (Last Chance List!)
  • Fancy Fold: Z-Fold layout for added interest
  • Color Palette: A cool and elegant mix of Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight, and Garden Green
  • Elegant Accents: Navy and gold ribbon with sequins embellishments for a festive sparkle
  • Wintery Vibes: Soft watercolor backgrounds from Winter Meadow DSP

Supplies Used

Here’s what I used to create this card:


Bough Punch
[157711]
$33.00
Paper Snips
[103579]
$16.50

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Create the Card Base: Mark a full sheet of Night of Navy cardstock at 3″ down on the right and 3″ up on the left. Then cut lengthwise on that diagonal. Then score at 3” and 6-3/4” to create the Z-Fold. This will create 2 card bases.
  2. Add Designer Paper: Cut tops on a diagonal and adhere pieces of Winter Meadow DSP to each panel of the card base. (2-3/4″ X 3-1/2″ ( front panel), 3-1/2″ X 4-1/4″ (middle panel), 4″ X 5-1/4″ ( back panel).
  3. Stamp & Die Cut: Stamp the sentiment in Night of Navy ink on a Basic White die-cut oval from the Greeting of the Season Bundle. Adhere to the card front using Dimensionals.
  4. Add Greenery: Use Garden Green Ink and a blending brush to apply colour to two Bough Punch cut-outs. Tuck them behind the sentiment and adhere with Liquid Glue.
  5. Finishing Touches: Attach a Navy & Gold ribbon bow to the oval and scatter a few gold sequins for extra sparkle.

Why I Love This Design

Z-Fold cards are simple yet impressive, making them great for special holiday greetings. The Winter Meadow DSP creates a soft, snowy background, while the Greeting of the Season Bundle provides an elegant finishing touch. This is a design you can easily recreate with different colors and papers!

Festive Friday Week 5 – Quick & Simple with the Christmas Labels Stamp Set

Welcome back to Festive Friday! This week’s card is a special one—it’s my first card post-surgery, and I’m so happy to be back crafting! Since I needed something easy and stress-free, I created a quick and simple Christmas card featuring the Christmas Labels Stamp Set & Dies. This bundle is currently on the Last Chance List, so if you love it, now is the time to grab it before it’s gone! ⏳

Let’s take a closer look at this week’s design! 🎄✨


The Card Design

For this week’s layout, I kept things clean and simple, focusing on the gorgeous label die and festive stamped elements. This design is perfect for mass-producing if you’re getting a head start on holiday cards for Christmas 2025!

Card Highlights:

  • Stamp Set & Dies: Christmas Labels Stamp Set & Dies (Last Chance List!)
  • Quick & Simple Layout: A great go-to design when you need an easy yet beautiful card.
  • Festive Color Palette: A rich combination of Cherry Cobbler, Basic White, and Pretty Peacock for a classic holiday feel.
  • Elegant Texture: The embossed background adds a soft snowfall effect, making the design extra special.
  • Metallic Accents: A gold trim bow and subtle embellishments bring warmth and shimmer to the card.

Supplies Used

Here’s what I used to create this card:


Bough Punch
[157711]
$33.00
Paper Snips
[103579]
$16.50

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Card Base: Cut a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock to 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2”.
  2. Emboss the 2nd layer: Use the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder to add a soft snowfall texture to a 4-1/4” x 4-3/4” piece of Basic White cardstock.
  3. Add Designer Series Paper: Cut a 4-1/4″ X 2-1/4″strip of Regal Distressed Pattern DSP (Cherry Cobbler and gold grid) and adhere it across the center of the embossed layer.
  4. Add Ribbon: Wrap a piece of gold trim and make a bow on the left side for a touch of elegance and then secure the whole layer to the card base.
  5. Die-Cut the Label: Using the Christmas Labels Dies, cut a decorative label from Basic White cardstock.
  6. Stamp the Sentiment: In Cherry Cobbler ink, stamp a holiday sentiment from the Christmas Labels Stamp Set onto the label. Attach this label to the right side of the card front using Dimenisonals.
  7. Create the Foliage Accent: Use the Bough Punch to create the Pretty Peacock foliage from the Season of Elegance DSP and tuck them behind the sentiment label, hold in place with Mini Glue Dots.
  8. Add Finishing Touches: Scatter a few Iridescent Foil Gems for subtle sparkle.

Why I Love This Design

Sometimes, simple is best! 💕 This layout is fast, elegant, and easy to replicate, making it a great choice for mass-producing holiday cards. Whether you’re crafting after a break (like me!) or just need a quick holiday project, this design is perfect.
