Thank You Card | Double Z Fold Card | Girl

Here's now my Thank You Card in Z Fold design technique.

I really like making a  Z fold design card because of 3D effect in the middle of the card and the uniqueness of this. 

This Thank You card is 6 x 4.25 inches when fold. The envelope I use the 6 ½ x 4 ¾ inches.

A friend of mine saw these cute paper girls on my Facebook timeline and the Double Z Fold card on my Facebook page. She message me if I can incorporate the cute girl and z fold card for her thank you card baby shower on June. It is my honor to make a card for her and be part of her baby shower preparations. 

So, what I did is I sketch on the drawing pad the design of her thank you card and made a draft out of it. I also check the size of the envelope for this.  The size of the envelop is the first thing I took considerations in making a card. 

I use the Silhouette Studio Designer Edition V3 to make my own pattern paper, chili pepper and Thank you sentiment strip. And use Silhouette Studio and Silhouette Cameo for cutting these objects or files and also balloons.

I told my friend that I will add teddy bear and I ask her if she wants something. She replied for the chili pepper. Because the name of the baby girl will be Pepper.

These teddy bears and chili peppers are 3 inches wide and 2 inches height only. I make sure that the is not over size on the card. The teddy bear is from Google. You noticed that there's a fold on both ends because I glue these fold or these part to the Thank You sentiments. I think these folds are the "system" they are referring to. 

I like the design of my Thank You sentiment. It is inspired from Google. It has a curve broken line with different colors small heart. This 8 inches long. I fold it half and fold it half again. The folds are for the system.  I glue first the last section of this strip to the card base and glue the first section to the card base. I also glue the teddy bear and chili pepper inside of it. 

Please watch this video how I attached the long strips which is the Thank You sentiments and the short strips the chili pepper and teddy bear to the card base very easy.

I use Bigkick, Sizzix to cut the parts of the girls. Remember this, the metal dies are not from Sizzix so when cutting the parts of the girl dies you will use all the tabs of the multipurpose platform.

 You can see my how to cut this girl metal dies by watching this video via Youtube 

The video below is the same technique when doing this Thank You card.  The difference are I have balloons, teddy bear and chili pepper. And also on how I attached the system to the card, teddy bear and chili pepper.

The YouTube video below are some of the things I did in making this Thank You Double Z fold Card. I did this video via YouTube live stream. Please watch!

1. How I add and print my trademark for my card?

2. How I match the color of the bows and belt to the dress of the girl?

The card stocks that I use are

• Neenah card stock 8.5" x 11 , Bright white, smooth, 65 lb for background and offset balloons
• Canvas Texture Premium Card stock 8.5 x 11, Snowcap for the background prints, teddy bears, chili peppers and thank you strips 
• Nana's Nursery Baby Girl DCWV and Recollection solid card stocks for the parts of the girls
• Paper and More for the pink balloons, All About Boys and Mambi Sheets Me and My Big Ideas for balloons

For sure, this thank you card with girl and balloons can match to you party.  I can replace the teddy bear and chili pepper on your like.  Oh! We can use this also for birthday invitations! If you like this please email me here or at dethsgreetings@yahoo.com
