A great luminary card as a mantle piece


Using the rustic harvest designer paper and the pretty pumpkin bundle one can easily make this great tea light piece.  It’s more than just a card. It just warms up the area once that tea light shines inside.  It uses an 11 by 41/4 cardstock and a 4 by 10 3/4 of designer paper. Scoring is for card base 6 1/2 and 2 3/4 for the designer paper 2 11/16 and 5 3/8. Both end up as Z fold pieces. Check out my YouTube directions here https://youtu.be/tnOPs3hR2as

#3 of 10 weeks of Fall alternate Z fold card

 

A great card for 6 by 6 designer paper- it uses a sheet and a 1/3 with little waste  

We started with the paper pumpkin august 2022 kit then went to a luminary and now a fun style for the Z fold card. I do discuss some of the items to be aware of producing this card in my video here https://youtu.be/FrreGTmaQrE I make some extra comments on the dimensions  viewed to hopefully ensure success.. the first photo depicts the card the second shows materials and most measurements 

List of materials : 81/2 by 51/2 cardstock- 2 pieces of 6 by 6 dsp  only 1/3 of the second will be used - stamps, punches and dies . I used the scary silhouette dies, witches hat builder punch and a small Happy Halloween stamp and ghost from discontinued items  

Dimensions DSP  3 pieces from 6 by 6 first cut a piece that is 6 by 5 1/4 then cut out center by placing the short side against the top of your cutting board start at 1”from the top and 1”in from the side cut down to 51/4 then flip and do the exact same thing to the opposite side  next you will cut the short sides by cutting from the one inch side down 1 “ to 4 1/4 flip to the bottom and now go over by 3/4 of an inch and down an inch to 41/4. Your center is free to cut the frame and the left small piece  the frame is 2 7/8 by 2 7/8 and the strip should be 1 by 2/78  vs a 1 by 3 as seen in the video  the three isn’t bad but 2 7/8 is better .  Using the second piece of dsp cut a 1 7/8 by 5 1/4  

Cardstock scoring  :  Long side up against the top and score each of these from 1 1/4 to 4 1/4  start with 7 1/4 next 6 and 3- next score at 2 1/8 thru the entire card - next are the two 4 1/4 scores that simply score from top to 1 1/4 and from bottom up  to 4 1/4  .  Cutting the cardstock : Place cardstock to short side and go to go to the end that does not have the 21/8 score line. Now go in and down 1 1/4 inches and cut down to 5 1/2 - cut both sides exactly the same

This card is a floating front card.  In the video during my live- I did not use the same color of cardstock for the pop up mechanism- you really should use same color. I did color it in with a write marker and it worked perfectly
