Altered Z-Fold Card

Chris used the beautiful Feels Like Frost paper that was such a huge hit that it sold out last year. I think that is the first time our paper ever sold out! This time it is hidden on page 42 and it really doesn’t stand out at all. It has been combined with a cutesy stamp set that really doesn’t suit this paper at all. Trust me, you WANT this paper.  Just click on that link and you will be able to see each sheet of paper in this amazing collection. Let’s take a look at Chris’ lovely card and then I will explain a little bit more about it.

Here is a closeup of the inside detail of this gorgeous altered z-fold card. Chris used the stitched shape dies for her sentiment. Here are the instructions that she shared for trimming the paper. Chris trims off 3/8″ from the top and then cuts the 6″ piece into three sections to create the panels. I measured them for you so you don’t have to guess! 2 5/8″, 1 1/4″ and 2 1/8″. The card is of course from Europe so they use A4 cardstock which is slightly narrower and longer than ours in North America. It is aprroximately 8 1/4″ by 5 7/8″ scored at 4 1/8″ and at a hair less than 1 1/4″. The front panel has the dsp adhered to only one half so that the other half extends past to create a full card front and to use more of the pretty paper.

Chris added a special detail to her card. She used one of our narrow embossing folder to emboss the middle section of this card as well as the flap of her envelope. It really is all about the details isn’t it? So pretty.

Feels Like Frost Paper

Photographic imagery on one side of the paper and hand drawn designs with silver foil on the other side, this paper is truly magnificent. I took a screen shot of it, but like I said earlier in the post, if you go the website you can scroll through and see each piece individually.

Barnstaple, Devon

British addresses always fascinate me. They seem so complicated and I am never sure what all the names mean. I am trying to discover the meaning of West Yelland as Barnstaple is the city and the line before that is the street address, so I am guessing that West Yelland might be a suburb or a district? Either way, it would seem that Barnstaple is definitely a place that I would like to visit. Take a look at a few images I found of the area. I do love these whimisical maps!

It looks like there is a lot to see and do in this part of England. The next “map” will show that to be true. Would you like to go on a little trip with me to visit Chris?

It looks like it will be a lovely 3 hour and 38 minute drive from this part of the world to the capital city of London, England. Or we could hop on the train for just over two hours. Before we leave we will be sure to visit the Museum of Barnstaple and North Devon.
