Z Fold Card | Christmas Friends
The Christmas Friends stamp set includes fun, whimsical images that are timeless and perfect for the young or young at heart.
The easel feature of this fancy fold card is comprised of two simple pieces that allow the card to stand independently.
I colored the moose using the alcohol-based Stampin’ Blends Markers. Their flawless coverage will make even a beginner look like a professional. CLICK HERE to view my YouTube playlist on ways to use these amazing markers.
The top flap of the mini card slides into the z-fold making this fun fold both easy to assemble and allows for various uses.
Best of all, no extra postage is necessary! Simply add this card to a standard A2 envelope with first-class postage and your holiday greeting cards are on their way!
Z Fold Card | Yuletide Village
The church image in the Yuletide Village stamp set is perfect to add to a snow globe!
I used the Snowy Wonder Dies to make the snow globe and stamped the image directly on the cardstock. A few loose snowflake embellishments were added along with extra fine diamond glitter.
The base of the snow globe uses Silver Foil with silver embossing. This subtle, but spectacular, tone on tone effect is perfect for the holidays.
Your z-fold card will need a ‘stopper’ for the easel. Look through your stamp sets and borrow from another if necessary to coordinate the perfect touch. This snowflake is from the One of a King stamp set.
Classic Wedding Christmas Card
Don’t let the name of this stamp set fool you! The Classic Wedding Bundle (stamps + coordinating dies) are perfect for just about any occasion.
I stamped and die cut a tree from Merriest Trees, cut a slit in the center using my paper trimmer and added it to the roof of the car. I trimmed away the excess image so the tree appeared to be tied down to the car’s roof.
I’m excited to share more ideas with this Bundle in December’s Live with Lisa private event. I’d love to have you join us for the fun.

I LOVE these cards! I love when I send out happy mail with a fun fold. I had a fellow papercrafter ask why I send out “fold” cards to people who probably don’t know how the folds work. I just like the idea that they will sit with the card and try to figure it out. I’ve never had anyone complain so I guess it’s ok. Thank you for all your creativity!
