♥♥Happy 15th/Z-Gate Fold Card

Hello everyone and Happy Monday to all! Well we have been getting some snow here, how strange to go from being in the 60's to now snow.
Today's Card was designed for one of my daughters friends, it was her 15th Birthday this weekend. Sounds like they had a lot of fun :) My daughter was picked up in a Limo, they went out shopping, did a Photo shoot, and went to dinner, how fun is that??!!!!! I want a birthday like that.....LOL hehehehehehe im tease'n. anyways they did have a super fun time.

My daughter wanted me to keep this card pretty simple , no flowers, but loved the Really Reasonable Ribbon Leaves idea. I used the Leaves to hold together the banner that says HAPPY! 
Super fun!!!
Really Reasonable Ribbon/Leaves Moss Green


I really LOVE making these cards , they are super fun, and have so much room for pictures and writing. You can even make a couple of pockets. On this one I made the pocket on the back of the card. Sorry I didnt take a pictue :(

So this last picture is how we wrapped the card. We ended up putting money inside for her, and then wrapped it with Tulle, and I used

CottageCutz Bunny TricZ-Gate Fold/Video's

Hello everyone, Cheryl here with my TricZ-Gate Fold Card and Video on coloring CottageCutz Easter Basket Bunny/and my TricZ-Gate Fold Video. Also left a link below to my Band video for holding this card together.
I created this card using the Z-Fold and moving it to the bottom. Then I thought how fun would it be to have the z fold gates smaller on top. So I thought the Name TricZ-Gate Fold would be perfect for my card!(Tric is for Trick)
 I really think these types of cards are super fun to make and perfect for adding photo's.


I used the DARLING CottageCutz Easter Basket Bunny, and Ruched white Crepe Paper to cut her out. Ive colored her with Distressed Inks and show how in my video below.


CottageCutz Dies I used:

Ribbon and Lace is from Really Reasonable Ribbon 


I used the CottageCutz fancy Filigree Wreath for layering behind my Bunny. The Bunny is holding the Tulip from theCottageCutz die called Watering Can ,and Tulips, I thought the Tulips would be perfect fit for this DARLING bunny!!!
I also used leaves from these 2 CottageCutz Dies as well
I thought using a mixture of leaves from the 3 CottageCutz dieswould be perfect spot for the bunny to sit :)


Coloring on bunny, using white ruched card stock 
from paper temptress
Challenges for my card:
AllSorts/Say it with Flowers
BasicGrey/SpringtimeChallenge/I used  Sugar Rush Paper Pad design paper
Crafty Calendar/Spring Clean(my dp is an oldie and needed to be used)

Tilda Z-Gate Fold Card & Video Tutorials

Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to all! Today I'm sharing my Tilda Z-Gate Fold card designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon and Michelle's Scrapbooking and More.
I used a Z-Fold concept for my Card designed and turned it into a Z-Gate Fold for todays post. I also made a band to hold this card closed.

There is also a pull Tab for more room to write. there is PLENTY of room for Pictures to add to this beauty!!

I used Really Reasonable Ribbon's BEAUTIFUL Gingham Ribbon and Noelle Crocheted Lace, LOVE LOVE LOVE this Lace and Ribbon. Of course I only use all RRR on all my cards and projects.

Here im showing the card open, now there is room on the backs of the Z-FOLDS to write and to add pictures if you would like. There is plenty of room for writing as you can see. I know I always need room for writing in my cards.

Now this card is THICK and the only way to mail it would be in a bubble wrap envelope , otherwise i think handing it to whomever is the best way....hehehehehe I would not try to mail in a regular envelope :)

Here im showing the Pull Tab area, its a pocket kinda like an envelope, and the frame slides in , I like that its a hidden message area :)

The picture below shows the backs of the Z-Fold

Now the band on this card slides up to remove it.



Here is the Z-Gate Fold Video for my Card!
