A THANKSGIVING FUN FOLD

It has been a long time since I made a Double Z fun fold.  It had been so long that I couldn't remember the dimensions for cutting and scoring the two card bases, so I had to try to find one of my old tutorials.

That's when I realized how long it had actually been.  I finally found one, and it was from 2023!  I used to make this fun fold all the time because it is very easy but looks complicated.

It is also a great way to show off a Designer Series Paper (DSP) Collection because there are so many different panels that you can use several different designs on the same card.  This card today uses four different patterns from the gorgeous Gathering Together DSP.

My challenge (to myself) this week was to use Two-Tone Cardstock, and I thought this Double Z Fun Fold would be a good way to use both sides and show off the two shades.

The large Double Z card base is made with the dark side of Pecan Pie two-tone, and the small Double Z card base is made with the light side of Pecan Pie two-tone.  

All stamped images and greetings on today's card are from the Amber Autumn Bundle.  These leaves are so much fun to color.  I'll admit that my version of these oak leaves don't look much like my neighbor's oak leaves that now cover my grass.  Those are pretty much just a solid brown.  If I'd colored mine with solid Pecan Pie, that is about what the ones on the grass look like, but who wants solid brown leaves on a card?  Not me, so I gave them a little "unrealistic" colors.

I chose colors from the DSP, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, and a tiny touch of Old Olive Stampin' Blends to color my leaves.  Since we do not have Crushed Curry Stampin' Blends, I substituted Daffodil Delight.
