Diamond Z-Fold Slimline Card with Flowers

Hello my crafty friends!  Last week I shared a Diamond Z-Fold card that was a 5 x 7" size. I really enjoyed making that card (and a second one that hasn't been shared yet) but wanted to figure out how to adapt the measurements for a Slimline card. Today, I have a YouTube video with a tutorial showing how to do that!  

This is the card I featured in the video, but the tutorial was for a masculine Diamond Z-Fold Slimline and I shared a peek at two others I've made. I'm really having fun with this!

The gold mirror card stock shows up much better in real life (and in the video) than in the photos.

That center diamond is actually mounted to a pop-up platform so it floats above the back panel.

NOTE:  in the video I shared several other samples. Those have not yet been posted here on my blog or on my other social media platforms. I will be sharing them in the coming weeks though!

Measurements for Diamond Z-Fold Slimline Card by Karen Aicken 

Card base - 8 x 8.5". With the 8" side at the top, score at 2" and 4". The 4" scoreline is the center, so fold your card in half along that scoreline. Then fold the front right flap back to the outside along the 2" scoreline.

Patterned paper - TWO 1.75 x 8.25" pieces and ONE 3.75 x 8.25" piece. I don't always use the two smaller ones, often just adding one to the front and leaving the inside one undecorated. It's entirely up to you.

Diamonds - TWO 2.75" squares and ONE 2-1/2" square

Patterned paper (BE MINDFUL OF THE PATTERNED PAPER IF IT HAS A DIRECTIONAL PATTERN) TWO 2.5" squares and ONE 2.25" square.

Signing block - 2.25" cardstock square with a 2" square of white or light cardstock of your choice.

Pop Up strip - 4 x 3". With the 4" side at the top, score at 1, 2 & 3"

Assemble as shown in the video.
