Z-Fold Video/ & Video on Ribbon Rosette Flowers

Hello everyone and Happy Sunday to all! Cheryl here with my Shabby Chic "Happy Birthday" Z fold card for Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I had a few crafters ask how I made my Z fold card , so I decided to do a video on it, you can view it below :) Hope you enjoy and cant wait to see your Z-Fold Card!!!

Here are the written measurements I usedCard Base1- 12 x 6 piece of card stock(base of card)2 6 x 6 pieces of card stock (for base of card)Card Layers3- 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 pieces of colored card stock(for layering)3- 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 pieces of design paper1 5 x 5 piece of card stock(for smaller front piece) as shown in video1- 4 3/4 x 4 3/4 piece of design paperHidden message pull tab 5 x 5 1/4 in colored card stock4 1/2 x 4 3/4 for white to layer on card stock for pull tab hidden message, you can cut a piece the same size for the back as well, to have more room for writing.2- 6 x 6 pieces of card stock (Base of card)

For my card I used lots of Pink Satin Really Reasonable Ribbon(MY FAV). I also used the pink and white satin with polka dots for the one handmade flower on the front of my card and the inside of my card. I used 3 different widths of Pink Satin and they can be found here.

I love the fold of this card, it gives plenty of room for stamping, and writing. I did make the pocket for the pull card(secret writing), however I didnt make my pull card for this one yet. I did a lot of distressing on the CottageCutz Frames I used. I LOVE these new frame dies, they are sweet.

The Ribbon Flower Rosette was handmade using Really Reasonable Ribbon's Satin and Scor-Tape I will post my video below

I used the spooled Satin from RRR,however you can buy the ribbon in yardsinstead :)

On my card I used the 5/8" Pink Satin, 1/4" Pink Satin, and 3/8" pink satin all found HERE!!

Ribbon Rosette Flowers Video, super easy to make!

Bling, or a button, or brad for center

I will have to redo my video for the z-fold, I didnt realize that you cant upload on here that long of a video, so I will have to do a 2 part one :)

Card Open. I also used all unity stamps on my card, Buttons,flowers, and handmade roses. I wanted to run the ribbon through the tea time doily and loved using the 1/4" satin for this. I'm entering my card for the 1st time in Unity's Color challenge here/Pink Green andoff white
