Wow! First of all... I have been so excited ... and chuffed... that so many of you were patiently waiting for these tutorials and that they have inspired you to get creating so quickly...
Thank you so much for all your comments, emails and feedback over the past week... you have duly inspired me to try some thing(s) a bit different for my blog ... I hope you will all like it!! As I thoroughly enjoyed creating 3 similar but different cards... each one being a step up on the previous... so I can see a few series of these...
And so now I bring you the last one of the Trio... the Double Z Joy Fold Card... sized specifically for the Stitched Rectangles... If you want to make the standard A6 card size then click here- or click here for the US A2 card size...
And if you want tutorials for other versions & sizes of Double Z Joy Fold Cards ... then use the Search box (down the right hand side)... and enjoy! I certainly have since I designed the card in the first place... all those years ago... so there are lots of variants on the theme...

Now to sticking the two Z Fold parts. Think about what needs to go where!!! Otherwise you will just stick your whole card together and it won't open after all!! Suggest a dry run with no glue the first time... then it should all become obvious... So...

7. Apply glue to back face of smaller Z Fold & make sure it is still closed!
8. Adhere back face of smaller Z Fold onto back/right hand face of main card (Note - you are eyeballing/centring the slightly larger front face of the smaller Z Fold onto the back face of the main card
