Double Z Fold Staircase Card

Love how this one has turned out!

Can't tell you how many years I have been doing a staircase card...but never quite got round to it... well now I have ... definitely a case of when the right products and the right card format collide....

EDITED TO ADD:- Tutorial now posted. Click here.....

Holly Berry Happiness meets Hearth & Home meets Greetings From Santa... with the Seasonal Decorative Masks thrown in...

And the oh so cute Christmas Trinkets Embellishments...

Back to this card another day... as this is definitely just Mark 1... though I think my ladies would have hit me for Mark 2 as it would have taken quite a long time more... and Mark 3... well that could be another story!!!

And here is the window detail...

Baby Bear Pop of Pink Card

This is the card that Nicola made... a Large Square Double Pop Up Z Fold Card... but she needed a Baby Girl card to send in the post that week...so a quick change was in order... So cute!

Nice job Nicola....

Time of Year Double Z Joy Fold Card...

So I had a moment today... whilst I was waiting (very impatiently for my big box of new catalogue stash to turn up!)...

I wondered what would happen if I took a Small Square Pop Up Z Fold card (Tutorial here) and merged it with a Large Square Pop Up card (Tutorial here) ... with no arms required....

And wow... I really LOVE the result... kind of like a Double Z Fold Joy Fold card if you know what I mean.... how exciting....

But no tutorial today... there is an improvement that will be made.... and then I will be back...

But in the meantime...what do you think this card fold should be called... answers on a post-card please!! Well  a comment below should do the trick!

And oops before I go... some new products used today.... 

The new Hostess stamp set, Time of Year. (Really love this set!) 

And Confetti Celebrations for the YAY star and inside greeting... 

And mmmmm... the new Copper embossing powder.... 

And you have seen the Dapper Denim papers out of the 2016-18 In Color paper stack on here a plenty before!!! 

Now talking of the New In Color Paper stack... I have pulled together a Craft Spa 2016-18 In Color Kit... you know the kits - you get half of anything I can split and a few yards of each co-ordinating ribbon. Just let me know if you are interested and I will send you the details....
