Enjoy the Sweet Season Z-fold Card

Hello, everyone! Today I'm sharing a Z-fold card!  I followed a tutorial over at Beccy's Place!  You can check out all of Beccy's tutorials here!  All month I have been participating in Beccy's Month of Holiday Cards and today I'm on the letter "Z" so I went with Z-fold.  (I'm almost finished the alphabet - I just have "Y" remaining!)  My card is tall and thin, measuring 3.5" x 8.5" and it fits easily into a No. 10 envelope.

I recently won some gorgeous images from Jan's Digi Stamps (thank you!) and today I'm using Holiday Candy Deluxe Set!  I chose the precoloured images - there are three different colourways so I went with the pastels.  On the front of my card you can see the candy jar and sentiment from the set.  I fussy-cut both and added foam tape behind the candy jar.


I adhered a punched bow (Tim Holz punch) and several gems. The patterned papers are all from Crate Paper Snow and Cocoa.


I took lots of photos!


On the middle panel I added some die-cut candy canes and holly, along with a fussy-cut "sweet" word from one of the sentiments.


On the final panel, I added some white cardstock for a place to handwrite a message.  The two candy corners and the sentiment are from the Holiday Candy Deluxe Set.  I used a wonky oval die for the sentiment and finished off the card with another punched bow.


I would also like to support the following challenges: Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas AG Optional "R" UE; Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper November UE; Creative Moments 181 Ribbon and/or Bows 3/3; DL.ART November Linky UE 1/d; Dragonfly Dreams Christmas/ Winter UE; Gem of a Challenge AG 2/3; Jan's Digi Stamps AG 4/5; Simon Says Stamp AG 1/5; The Outlawz Festive Friday Christmas UE; Through the Craft Room Door AG 2/2; Wednesday's Creative Inspirations Winter Blues UE; Word Art Wednesday 414-415 AG w Uplifting Sentiment wk2 1/5

Thank you for looking at my card!  Wishing you a joyful day!

Love this, Kitty. I hope I have enough time to make a Z fold card. I actually had a Yuletide sentiment. But, you can go with something sweet and make your Y - yummy.

Very pretty z-fold card, Kitty. I sure hope you win big over at Beccy's. I admire your dedication. I have maybe 5 entries and one comment, lol. But my goal was to just participate whenever I could, so I met it. Get those other two! xoxo
