Zig Zag Fold

Hello, Friends!  Today I'm joining the other DT members of Scrapbook Blessings Club as we showcase different card folds.  The design team will all be using the really fun digi stamps from Wags and Whiskers ~ adorable! ~ 

My card was created using the Zig Zag fold.  I found the instructions for creating my card from a tutorial on Operation Write Home.

• Card Fold:  Zig Zag
• Inspiration and Tutorial:  Operation Write Home
• Digi Stamp:  Wags and Whiskers : Bubble Fun
• Designer Paper:  Recollections
• Sentiment:  CardzTV "Hugs and Kisses" stamp set
• Accents:  Stickles; Mod Podge Dimensional

Card Recipe:

• Cut card stock at 5.5" x 12".
• Score fold lines at 4" and 8".
• Measure 1.75" from left edge and cut diagonally up to the 8" score line.
• Fold on score lines.

Decorative panels:

• Small (yellow polka dots):  3.75" x 3.25".  Measure 1.5" on left side and cut diagonally up to 3.75".
