Lumberjack Diamond Z-Fold Slimline


Hello my crafty friends and welcome to Masculine Card Monday here on my blog.  Today I'm sharing the Diamond Z-Fold Slimline card I completed in the video tutorial last week. If you would like to see the tutorial for creating one of these cards, click HERE.


The center diamond is on a simple box platform, so it floats above the inside back of the card. After I finished the video and taking the photos, I decided this would be a great birthday card for my brother. So I dug around in my stash and found some retired Happy Birthday peel off stickers in black. I added one at the top left inside, and it is hidden when the card is closed. I didn't take a photo though.

I'm pretty happy with how these cards work out, and how easy they are to put together.


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" 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"
