Lately we’ve been talking about many different types of Z-Fold cards and today is no different. Today I want to introduce you to the Angled Z-Fold cord or Angled Tri-Fold card. I think most people call it Angled Tri-Fold but you fold the three panels into a Z so to me it’s an Angled Z-fold!
When you look at the card in it’s closed position you can see that there is going to be some type of special fold to it. You see the front panel with the designer paper and you can see a little bit of the designer paper on the “inside” or back panel. As you open the card it’s easy to see the angled top edge.
I used the exciting new Butterfly Bouquet products on my card. Gotta love those butterflies! The large pink butterfly is die-cut from the designer paper! You can view all of the products in this collection here. The stamp set and the dies from this collection are actually sneak previews from Stampin’ Up!’s upcoming 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. How fun is that?!
My card is made from 5 ½” x 10 ½” piece of cardstock and will fit in a standard Stampin’ Up! envelope. When closed, the card measures 3 ½” x 5 ½”. Score the 5 1/2″ x 10 1/2″ piece of cardstock along the long side at 3 ½” and 7” to form your panels. To get the angled edge you will then measure 3” up from the bottom on the left short side. Make a light pencil mark. Then draw a light line from the pencil mark to the top of the 7” score mark and then cut along this line. The base of the card is now done and you just need to decorate!
The angled piece of designer paper on my card is 3 ¼” across. The short side measures 2 ¾” and the long side measures 3 7/8”. The larger piece of designer paper on the back panel measures 5 1/4″ x 3 1/4″.
You can make an Angled Z-fold card in many different sizes. The key is to make sure that you can evenly divide the long edge of your cardstock by 3 so that your panels are all the same size. The starting point for you angled edge can be anywhere on the left edge and you can either end your angle at the second score mark like I did or you can take the angle all the way to the upper right corner of the cardstock.
I hope you like this fun and easy Fun Fold! Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
