Welcome back for Day 3 of the Scrappy Moms Sneak Peak for Kids Incorporated!!!
As you can see I haven't been making kid related cards, though I probably will before the week is over. For my project today I wanted to show you all how to make this easy version of a Z Fold Window card. I used to make these a bit bigger and double sided, but I decided to simplify this into something that is easier to make and folds into an A2 sized envelope. So I do consider this to be my own original idea, not to say others may not have done something very similar with cards, but I this is a style card I was creating long before I ever started looking at crafting blogs on line.
So here are my cards...
Here are two angles of this one. See how sweet this is? Such a pretty card design and a different style. And the great thing is you could put so many things in the center. You could have cricut cuts, or any punched images too. Anything that fits the opening. You could also be different and do different cut outs rather than the oval. You can really take this card idea and make it your own. I made this card first so that I could get all the sizes correct since I just made up the new sizes and wanted to be sure it worked together first before filming it for you. So then I made another version...
Here is the second one. Look how pretty these colors are too? And how great is that sentiment? I think any friend would love to get a card like this, and on the third panel you have room to write your note to someone. You can watch my You Tube video to learn how to make this card. It is a rather long video, but you can always fast forward through parts of it, but to teach you how to make this, you really need to see it being done and the nice part is that I did not prep anything before hand but the flower, so you really get to see the whole process, and it's a card you can make in about 30 mins or so. So come watch the video and let me know what you think :) Hope you enjoy it.
And here are the sentiments on Kids Incorporated if you haven't ordered them yet, cause I am sure you are going to want to any time now, they are a great set and you can't get any better quality.

I loved your card & tutorial! It's nice to see someone make a card without the Cricut (since I don't have one)!
Thanks for sharing!!

WOW - What a great card! You're right, it is so pretty! :)
Very sweet card, Christina! O love the open circle on the center section. I use my circle scissor to create round openings and frames but I'm sure it's a little trickier than using the Nesties and I can't make oval-shaped openings that way. Very nice!
