    I am so HERE for this. I thought it would be sped up to the point of me mumbling. OH MY GRACIOUS...instead, I was treated to a class I should have to pay for...(Now, don't go getting any ideas.) Thank you so very much. This will keep me busy for... at least the weekend. Okay, who am I kidding...the rest of the year!

    Z fold was my favorite. I've made them before, but I always start from scratch. How much easier to start with an accurate card blank! Love that you get 2 for 1 also.

    Such a great tutorial! I’m Subscribing & hope to see more Tutorials. Clear, concise and held my interest. Well done and Thank You! PS: Figuring out the measurements and where to score and fold has been one of my problems. But this has helped tremendously as it is the basis of more than a simple standard fold.

    To make a traditional card base I score the whole length at 4 1/4 and then rotate to cut at 5 1/2. Score once, cut once and done ❤

    There is just something about a Z-fold trifold card that I really like. I think it is all the layers compared to more traditional cardfolds. So that is my favorite😊

  • @ScarletteDesigns

I haven’t made a card for over 2 years now and watching your video has made me realise that I miss it very much. All my stuff is in storage though,‘once I get my stuff out of storage I will be definitely making lots of cards again. TFS, looking forward to lots more videos.

    Great and informative video!! Thank you! My go to is usually a side fold or top fold, but I really love making gate fold cards. The possibilities are endless for ways to close them. I've been playing with die cuts that will allow interlocking pieces to make them close. It's been fun learning what will work and what won't!
