Wow!  Wow!  Wow!  This card is just sooo pretty!!!
It is another totally Susie card!

Check out this awesome z fold card!!  I just am totally in love with it!!  It is bright, cheery & spring like!!  This is just what we all need right now in our lives are positive & cherry things huh!
The cool part about this card is that you use a sheet of 6" DSP & cut it into strips!  Look at it when it opened up!  See how the patterns in the DSP match up, with just a little card stock (card base) showing between each strip!  

This is super cool fold to do with patterned paper like this!!  Isn't that just so neat!! 

How did I do it?
  • 6 x 5 1/4" DSP
  • Cut at 2 3/4" & 3 7/8".
  • This leaves you 3 DSP panels that are- 
  1. 5 1/4" x 2 3 3/4"
  2. 5 1/4" x 1 1/8"
  3. 5 1/4" x 2 1/8"
  • You then adhere the first DSP panel to the front of card folded back edge.  IMPORTANT- Make sure you have your card base scored & folded back.  The whole DSP panel doesn't adhere down, just the left edge of it does.  The DSP panel will fit perfectly onto the card- just leaving a 1/4" edge on the card front & a 1/4" edge along the card base!
  • You then adhere the second DSP panel to the inside front side- along the center fold.
  • You then adhere the third DSP panel to the inside back side- along the center fold.
  • You then add a piece of card stock for your sentiment that is 5 1/4" x 1 3/4"
