Snowflake Diamond Z-Fold Slimline


Hello my crafty friends.  Today I'm sharing the Snowflake Diamond Z-Fold Slimline Card created for my tutorial video back in September. I had wanted to show some different ideas in the video so quickly showed this card. If you would like to see the tutorial for these Slimline Z-Fold Cards, click HERE.


I love sparkle on a holiday card, and this card has LOTS of sparkle. The patterned paper was one that Lawn Fawn had last year and it has silver foiled snowflakes printed all over it. I die cut the Lawn Fawn stitched snowflakes from silver mirrored card stock and also added some prism gems. 😊


The 'let it snow' sentiment was die cut from silver and twice more from white card stock. Then I adhered them together with wet glue to make a nice sturdy sentiment. since so much of it hangs over the edge and I didn't want it to be floppy.


I really wanted to use a specific stamp on the inside, but I couldn't find that stamp set. So I chose an older Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin sentiment. I did finally find the missing stamp set - whew. (It's an older set I've had it for years.)

I'm not sure if the papers or snowflake dies are still available, but I will try to link them for you below.

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"
