                                              HERE IS HOW TO MAKE A Z FOLD CARD-

I decided to recycle my packaging from a backing package that held chipboard, that I used as the base for my card......12" length  if you are using card stock

choose your card size.....I went with the width of my paper.Cut a piece to cover the front,back and a strip (12") 

attach with wet glue or your choice of adhesive.let it dry.Fold card in half and then fold the front section in half again(refer to the picture)

cover the back

fold your strip in half,then in half again(refer to the picture)

choose a placement.

glue area on the left

from an extra piece cut out a piece to make a pocket that will hold a gift card,your message or even cash

attach

add a tag.I cut out the oval pull from the patterned paper

decorate your card with cut outs from the remaining paper and some die cuts(dies used are available to purchase from my store)

EASEL CARD -the centre step easel (class tutorial)

1.As in the basic easel,divide your 12 x 12 card stock in half.You can make 2 cards from 1 sheet using this method. 2.Trim about 2 mm off all sides of your patterned paper and cover your card,front and back.3.score well

Choose what you would like as your card front.You can use a die cut backed onto card stock or like me,I chose a journalling card cut out from my patterned paper....1.There are no set measurements to this part as you take what you want and lay it in the middle 2.draw a pencil line on either side of your piece.3.Now cut 2 lines using a craft knife all the way from the top to the bottom..4.Fold the middle part of the front downwards.5.Glue the 2 side pieces down to your card,you should only have the centre piece that is folded(refer to picture)

Once again,as in the basic card,create a dimensional stopper for your card to rest on,using foam squares or cardboard.decorate as you like

the EASEL card-BASIC (class tutorial)

attach 1 of your blocks as shown to the bottom piece of your fold.YOUR CARD IS MADE...simple as that

attach your back round patterned paper which you have slightly trimmed down on all sides by about 2 mm

cut a piece from your spare piece of card stock and cover it, to create a stopper for the front of your card 

score all your folds well

 foam blocks or follow my example by cutting up a piece of cardboard from a box and attach to the card front.......this will 

I only glued 3 sides of my front patterned paper which gave me a pocket to add some goodies
