BALLOONS AND BIRTHDAYS

I learned this Quadruple Z Fun Fold at the Summer Creativate Retreat.  I've made Z-Folds for years and recently learned how to make a Triple Z-Fold, but I had never seen a Quadruple Z, so this card was fun because I learned something new!  Thank you to Connie Stewart for sharing the idea!

This Splash of Sparkles Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) is one of my favorites.  It just showed up last week on the August Last Chance List.  Things often go quickly on the Last Chance List, and once they are gone, they are gone forever.  So I thought I'd share this fun DSP one last time.  I can't guarantee it is still available, but this fun fold can be made with any of your favorite DSP designs.   

Here is a better photo to show off the Quadruple Z- Fun Fold.  Looks a little difficult right?  That's what I thought when I first say it.   But it's actually quite easy!

Watch this video to see just how easy it is!  

For today's card I used the Balloon Festoon Bundle which is perfect for Birthday cards.  I go through a lot of birthday cards in August, so I need to replenish my stash.

In the video I made a Christmas Card using the same Fun Fold, so this design can be made for any occasion.

My version of the card has very little stamping as all the balloons were die cut from the DSP using the Balloon Festoon Dies.

Since there is no "inside" to the card, the back of the card is used for your message.

Even the balloon "strings" are die cut!  

Both sentiments are from the Balloon Festoon stamp set.

A list of the products I used is shown below, but remember, you can make this card using whatever supplies you have!
