Joyful Peony Birthday Z-Fold Card Duo

Hello my crafty friends. It's Fun Fold Friday here on my blog and today I'm sharing a pair of Z Fold cards I made for my stash. There are a bunch of Birthday's coming up and I wanted to get ahead of them. I started with the printed card bases, patterned paper & coordinating envelopes from Stampin' Up then added some different items from my craft room.

The Joyful Peony is a stamp, layering stencil and die set from Pinkfresh studio - it's not new to my craft room by any means - but I love getting it out to play with. I added the colour with Catherine Pooler inks and small blending brushes, die cut the image and added it to a layered oval. It's such a nice big element and would easily fill the front of an A2 card. These ones are larger ... 4-1/4 x 6-1/4", sized I'm sure to add a 4 x 6" photo to the front.

Another oval was adhered to the inside back with a stamped sentiment.

I am LOVING this sentiment set, which IS new in my craft room. But it's been getting a real workout the past few months!
