A Closer Look at the Suite

This suite includes the Framed Violets Bundle. This bundle includes the Framed Violets photopolymer set with nine stamps & coordinating Framed Violets Dies.

The Violet Dreams Designer Series Paper includes twelve sheets. You get two each of five double-sided designs and two precut sheets. The patterns feature soft watercolor violets and coordinating backgrounds. The paper is acid and lignin free.

The Shimmering Stripes Specialty Designer Series Paper includes four single-sided sheets with glittery stripes. It is also acid and lignin free. This paper adds a little sparkle without loose glitter.

The Fresh Freesia Satin Ribbon is a narrow ribbon that works well for bows or simple wraps around a card front. You get ten yards.

The Adhesive-Backed Blooms Embellishments include thirty flower-shaped pieces in three colors. They are ten millimeters in size and easy to add as accents.

Everything in the suite coordinates beautifully, which makes designing with it simple and enjoyable.

Beautiful Gallery Fun Fold

/ Leave a Comment

I’m so glad you’re here! Today I’m sharing one of my favorite fun folds—the Z-Fold card. This easy fold is a wonderful way to showcase Designer Series Paper, and I knew it would be perfect for this pretty thank you card.

If you’ve never made a Z-fold card before, you’re going to love how easy this one is. Start by cutting your card base to 5-1/2″ × 8-1/2″. With the long side at the top, score at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″. Fold the card in half at the 4-1/4″ score line. Next, fold the front flap backward along the 2-1/8″ score line. When you stand the card up, it should resemble a “Z” shape and look like the photo below when viewed from the top.

I used Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper, cutting it into 2″ strips, which makes the 6″ × 6″ paper ideal for this design. For the inside of the card, I added a touch of texture with Cloud Cover cardstock, embossed with the Joined Together 3D Embossing Folder.

To create both the sentiment label on the front and the label on the inside, I die cut two labels from the Label Me Grateful Dies using Basic White cardstock. The sentiment is stamped in Secret Sea ink, which pairs beautifully with the moody tones of the paper.

Tip: When adhering the sentiment label to the front of the card, be sure to apply adhesive only to the left side of the label—this allows the card to open properly and keeps the Z-fold functional. The inside label is adhered directly behind the front label, so it remains hidden until the card is opened. I finished the card with a few 2025–2027 Flat Pearls for just the right amount of subtle shine.

Beautiful Gallery Z-Fold Measurements:

  • Secret Sea cardbase: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, Score on the long side at 2-1/8″, 4-1/4″
  • Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper: (3) 2″ x5-1/4″
  • Cloud Cover Cardstock (inside panel): 2″ × 5-1/4″
  • Basic White Scraps for die cut

Happy Stamping!
