Z Fold

Happy Sunday everyone.  Hope your having a blessed day!

I made something I've never done before.... a Z fold card for cricutcardzchallenge challenge 44 which is to make a Halloween Z or S fold card.

Here's my card...



I really like the way this turned out and it wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it would be.  While I was working on this card I decided to challenge myself over the month of October to try out other card folds to stretch my creativity.  I'm kinda excited to try out some new techniques.  :)

So the card details.... the patterned paper is from DCWV Midnight Spell stack.  I'm really enjoying this stack... it's getting pulled out quite a bit lately.  The spider is cut at 1.25 inches from Doodlecharms.  The spider web is cut at 2.5 inches from Mini Monsters (of course... I can't seem to make a Halloween card w/out that cartridge).  The stamp is from Inkadinkadoo and it's one of the $1 clear stamps.  I believe I picked that up at Joann's.  I stamped it on a piece of scrap Bazzil paper that was laying on my table.  At first I didn't like it because the image wasn't crisp.. you know it never stamps very well on textured paper.  I moved on to finishing up my card and the stamped image grew on me... I kinda liked that it was rough and worn looking.  I think it works for a Halloween card.

I hope everyone has had a great weekend.  I've had a very low key one with lots of crafting... it was kinda perfect :)  Just what I needed.  Thanks for taking the time to stop by.

Cheers
