Good morning, Peas and grammadee ! I'm back with some more fun folds.  These cards, from one full 8 1/2 x 11" sheet of card stock, two 6x8" patterned papers, and a partial sheet of a second color is adapted from Club Scrap's Deluxe Card Formula 9 which makes 6 Z-fold cards from 5 sheets of 12x12", 3 solids and 2 prints. I can't share that formula, but I can say that Set C in their April 2022 Card Kit, Hooray, is 4 very similar Z-fold cards. From the kit instructions (with video link) you could get some basic Z-fold directions/dimensions should you feel the need: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0440/9602/8828/files/0422Card.pdf?v=1648739745Twist: I heard during week one that not everybody has 6x8"available, so here's a variation using 2 6x6" patterned papers and embossed panels in place of the remaining printed ones:  This should have been able to be done with only two sheets of card stock; the embossed panels and narrow z-strips would fit on one if cut properly the first time. I did not cut and emboss correctly; I struggled a bit getting the twist version to come together. |

Your cards are fun and cute, Shakti! Thanks for a relatively easy challenge, and for the link to the cutting guide. I had to work on mine in bits and pieces of time today, but I finally got them finished tonight.  |

That’s a cool fun fold design I haven’t seen before. I just remembered some 6x8 paper that’s more reminiscent of the style from scrapnnana’s beautiful examples that I could try this with. I’ve been looking for a good way to use it. Otherwise I’ll try the version using 6x6. |

Shakti - I got your card from the card swap yesterday and we love it! My 8 year old is amazed by your card making skills (her words).  I will have to try this technique this weekend!

Thank you so much!
I have to admit, I didn't keep track of what I sent to whom -- at one point I was trying to at least hold back the ones I hadn't yet posted, but I even lost track of that.
I am guessing you got one of the 10 Z-folds, since you posted here. I'm so glad you and your 8yo are enjoying it!

scrapnnana Nicely done! Very striking color combination, lending a special effect. Shakti thank you for the folding fun! I used two pieces of white cardstock and two 6x6 printed patterened papers. Embossing was a great idea to add texture to the white cardstock pieces.

Beautiful! They might also meet joblackford's first color challenge, if you haven't already. I don't remember if silver was required too. |

Totally works for my #4 challenge, yes! Any combo of red white black silver grey is good enough for me  jjpeapea did already do one for my challenge but I don't think we're limited to one example per challenge. I haven't checked how the points are counted but if it was up to me I'd give you another set of points. |

joblackford and Shakti so nice of you all to think of me, but I'm not on a team - I'm just playing for fun. I just MIGHT be a little obsessed with keeping up with the challenges. Only 11 challenges left.

Only 11 challenges left. , I love the contrast of the red and white. They are lovely cards! Like you, I am not on a team. I do all of the challenges for fun, too. |

Here are a couple of cards I started at grammadee’s two weeks ago, but finally finished the stitched dies yesterday. I did use 6x6 paper pads, but didn’t emboss.  |
