Darling Donkeys Birthday Bonanza

36 Comments / Blog Hop, Fun Fold Cards, Happy Birthday / / , ,

Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team created “Birthday Bonanza” projects to inspire you to make for all of your family and friends. We hope you enjoy and are inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments because we all love hearing from you! At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Today’s card features a Z-Fold card using the Darling Donkey’s Sale-A-Bration set. I created a similar version for my January stamp camp. Z-fold cards are so fun and easy too! I hope you enjoy hopping along with us today.

  • Begin with a Cherry Cobbler card base that measures 5 ½ x 8 ½”.  In landscape position, score at 4 ¼” and 2 1/8”.  The first score will fold your card in half, Fold the second score back onto itself to create the Z-Fold.  That’s all there is to it!
  • Cut two strips of your favorite Designer series paper 1 ¾ x 5 ¼”.  Layer these on the 2 inch panels.
  • Next cut two coordinating rectangles from the Stitched so Sweetly Dies, the larger one is cut using Cherry Cobbler cardstock and the smaller one with Basic White. 
  • Stamp one of the Darling Donkeys on the White cardstock and color with watercolor pencils and layer this on the Cherry Cobbler rectangle.
  • Stamp “Hey There Friend” in Cherry Cobbler ink on Basic White cardstock and cut out using the paper snips and put it up on the corner of the donkey with some Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Next attach the Donkey rectangle to the front of the Z-fold 2” panel making sure to only apply adhesive to the left side.

Now let’s create the inside-

  • Cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of White cardstock and layer on the inside. 
  • Stamp Happy Birthday at the bottom of this white layer and add a ¼ x 4” strip of Cherry Cobbler just above the greeting. 
  • Stamp two of the other Donkeys on white cardstock, color with watercolor pencils and fussy cut out. If you prefer, just stamp directly to the inside white cardstock panel and color. Using the brown watercolor pencil create a ground under the donkeys. 
  • Stamp you’re the best in Memento Black ink and Hee Haw in Cherry Cobbler on some Basic White cardstock and cut out with the paper snips.  If you don’t want the added dimension or if you don’t enjoy fussy cutting, simply stamp the words directly to the inside cardstock.

Z-Fold cards are so fun and while they look complicated, they really are simple, just one additional score line and you have it. I hope you enjoy all the wonderful cards made by my very creative teammates.

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Mark your calendars for our next blog hop on March 10th when our theme will be “Cute Critters” where the design team will be sharing projects that will feature critters of all sorts to inspire you. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your craft room.

Connecting with the talents of others!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Fun Fold Cards, Paper Crafting Ideas /

This card post was made possible because of the talents of a fellow Stamping demonstrator Michelle Laliberte Quinno. I just love being a part of a team who has so many gifts to share. After all crafting is all about copying and sharing the gifts of others. I hope that Michelle inspires you as well. Check out this and other cards featured in the Plaid Tidings Card Kit to Go.

If you do not already have the Celebrate Sunflowers, now is a good time to add it to your collection of stamps. Don’t forget the paper is only on sale for a few more weeks.

This is Michelle’s original design. Thanks Michelle for sharing you are so talented!
